I was recently playing a little bit more of BW NU and I think this is a really cool meta to play arounD with. Hazards are still everywhere and it feels a bit different without Defog as the second viable hazard clearing option, but I enjoy playing offensive/balance teams and was wondering if I could get some critique on some teams and the thoughts I have while making them:
Click the sprites to see the teams!
Team 1: :Tauros: :Golurk: :Ludicolo: :Garbodor: :Alomomola: :Gurdurr:
I decided to start with Tauros with the standard Life Orb set to provide the power needed to hit most of the tier for at least neutral damage while still taking advantage of passive walls like Alomomola or Weezing. Golurk provides an immunity to Fighting and takes on the Rock- and Steel-types Tauros struggles against, and is the team’s rocker while still providing great offensive presence. I wanted a specially and physically defensive backbone, and Ludicolo + Garbodor seemed to complement each other excellently. Ludicolo covered Garb’s weakness to Ground moves while Garb covered against Poison and the rare Bug moves. Alolomola was there for wish support and providing utility with Knock off. Gurdurr provided a wincon with Bulk Up and gave it the role of a priority user.
Team 2: :Mandibuzz: :Roselia: :Seismitoad: :Throh: :Misdreavus: :Kangaskhan:
Since hazards are quite powerful in BW, I decided to capitalize on it. I chose to start with Mandibuzz to prevent slower Pokemon, like Roselia and Alomomola, to support teammates with hazards and wish passing respectively. Roselia and Seismitoad complemented each other well, with Roselia providing a 4x resistance against Toad’s only weakness, while Toad covered against Rose’s vulnerability to physical attacks. Both provided the mandatory hazards needed to chip away against the opposing team. RestTalk might not be great in this generation, but Throh’s excellent special bulk (and decent physical bulk even uninvested) alongside Leftovers makes it an annoying phazer to deal with, especially with knock off to mess with Pokemon relying on iteams, like NFE mons and bulky mons like Seismitoad and Regirock. Misdreavus provided a Ghost-immunity and utility to discourage physical attackers and a second option to annoy slower teams. Kangaskhan rounded the team off with its dual priority, making the most out of hazard damage and can prevent sweepers from getting out of control.
These teams look decent. However, I do think they have some problems.

First off, to some extent both of these teams are going to struggle vs someone who just leads Charizard and lets it chunk you before Rocks have made its life hard. For the first team, I think this can be remedied with a bulkier Golurk that can lead right into Charizard and not worry about it. For the second team, it's a lot harder to find a reliable fix, though Rindo Berry Seismitoad may be an option.

I think the second team also is going to have some serious issues with HP Grass Rotom-Fan though I don't have a great suggestion there either other than the aforementioned Rindo on Toad, which may help somewhat. At the very least you are already Jolly Kangaskhan, so that helps with Rotom a ton.

Sub Bulk Up Braviary (and also to some extent Scarf and Band Braviary) also look like a large threat to both teams (if you catch the theme of all these threats... basically I'm not sure you're respecting flying types in general). 0 SpA Ludicolo and Seismitoad never break a sub, and 0 SpA Rose rarely does either. Alomomola is also free set up opportunities, and Missy is sort of a problem too, if Braviary creeps just a bit more on speed to beat out the dex Missy set, which it sometimes does. Meanwhile, neither of the team really has anything that wants to take Brave Birds. 0 Atk Garbodor Rock Blast is also not gonna do anything once Braviary gets its first Bulk Up. A 3 hit is only a roll to even break the sub, and a 4th or 5th hit won't be doing much either. Mandibuzz somewhat helps keep it in check on the second team, but if you always have to hard switch into Mandibuzz any time Braviary touches the field, you're probably in trouble, since it's not even a resistance and Rocks might be up.

In general, I think you should be aiming to get a flying resist on most teams (Regirock, Rotom-S or -F, Eelektross, Carracosta being the most common) unless you are generally fast enough or neutral enough to these mons for them not to be a concern. These two teams however tend to be slower and weaker to the powerful mons of that attacking type than I'd generally recommend.

I think there are likewise some probable issues vs some Psychic types, Gardevoir in particular.

Some quick thoughts about these two mons after the tour:
:bw/Garbodor:
I knew hazards were pretty popular due to the lack of viable Spinners, but it feels more than ever necessary to include Garbodor on a team. What can really go wrong with picking this? It’s arguably the best emergency blanket check with Rocky Helmet to threats like Primeape, physical Skuntank, Gurdurr, and itself - even if it’s at 1%. This allows revenge killers like Swellow, Tauros, Scarf Rotom-F or Sawk to easily pick it off, reliably trading with the opposition 1-on-1. It isn’t that passive itself thanks to a decent 95 Attack + Gunk Shot + Poison chance, which is especially annoying to Alolomola that might try to Wish towards its teammates.

:bw/Sawk:
Sawk is a menace to face at all stages of the game; it’s probably the most effective anti-lead since it beats most stealth rock setters easily (especially when it has mold breaker to deter Golem) and does enormous amounts of damage with the right coverage moves. It might have trouble against dedicated bulky psychic types and very bulky walls, but it doesn’t take a lot of support to get Sawk to claim at least one KO in the game. I think Fist Plate sets might be worth considering to give Choice Band’s power while still having the freedom of switching between its coverage moves.

This is a team for gen 3 nu I recently made and I quite like it so I'll post it here. I think vigoroth is pretty good as a lead and it's suprisingly disruptive Midgame. Bulky rocks in general are pretty good at dealing with it so I got a grass and water, luckily that grass also has spikes which helps a lot in just building up pressure. At that point I noticed that I'm very SpDef heavy and that I'd still really like a wincon, so I chose cm sableye. It's also a Spinblocker which is a nice Bonus, and wigglytuff really holds a lot of it together. You probably notice how Much this is focused on longevity with a lot of recovery moves and wish, the plan is to try and outlast the opposing by putting up spikes pressure and then chipping at them until something like sableye can sweep. Lastly I chose to add a breaker in the form of graveler. I found that the team struggles against metang at times and I wish I could have fit removal somewhere there so ideas for improvements are appreciated
