Decided to go pure offense on this one.
Normal spam core is mandatory, I went dual band for maximum power. Dodrio's fast enough.
Golem is a suicide lead that can also rip teams apart with +2 Sucker Punches if your opponent lets you. Rock Blast is chosen over Stone Edge to break sashes and OHKO offensive Crustle.
PuP Dusknoir is what I'm proud of here. Dual priority allows it to circumvent its low speed, and if it can get a boost or two off it's devastating. (it also spinblocks)
Mr. Mime is your standard hard-hitting special attacker.
Simisage is the team's scarf cleaner/revenge killer, and its best answer to Floatzel.

The teambuilding for this team was pretty simple and straightforward but it's quite effective and would've won against MoM in seasonal had I not been haxed.
Anyway I decided to stick with the standard Band Stoutland and Scarf Dodrio, I tried other options but usually found myself wishing I had the standard core. It's standard for a reason its really good. The first pokemon I added was Monferno for a few reasons: I wanted a solid Cacturne answer, a decent way of weakening normal resists (defensive Mawile in particular), and some solid priority that the core lacked. The next mon I added was Stunfisk as my dedicated Monferno and volt switcher check, both threats that give Stout and Drio trouble. Rocky Helmet helps in weakening things to try and make Dodrio's job easier late game. Next came Banded Leafeon to check ground and rock types(mostly Golem). I chose Band with Bullet Seed for Golem of course, but also for lead Smeargle so I don't have to fodder something off to sleep. Banded Leafeon also further aides in setting up a Dodrio sweep late game much like Stoutland does by weakening potential stops like Mawile, Stunfisk, and Metang. For the last slot I was torn between Politoed and Grumpig. I narrowed the slot down to these two as I really wanted something to check Duosion and Clefairy with Encore and Taunt respectively. The two Magic Guard users could easily sweep me in the hands of a competent player. Grumpig would give me a great blanket check to a lot of the tier and in particular check Rotom-F. Politoed gave me a great check to waters which destroyed my team while also pulling its weight offensively. I eventually decided on Politoed as I had ways of playing around each of Rotom-F's sets and revenge killing wasn't too hard considering Dodrio is faster and Monferno is packing Mach Punch. 136 speed is for Adamant/Modest Cacturne cause you can never have too many Cacturne checks.

Shiny Politoed looks sick as heck

Started out with Band Stoutland and Scarf Dodrio, then I took the normal/flying spam a step further and added a Purugly and Jumpluff. Jumpluff sleeps pretty much all normal-type checks (Mawile, Metang, Probo) and makes it easy to break through them. Purugly is a fast cleaner similar to Dodrio that takes advantage of normal-type checks being weakened, and struggles with Mawile a bit less because of Defiant (I also added Toxic on it to lure Gourgeist). With Jumpluff, Purugly, and Scarf Dodrio basically taking care of offense, I decided to add my defensive cores. Prinplup is neat for a water-type check, Monferno check, and Defogrocks. Still wanted a normal/electric resist and Golem fit, but since Prinplup can set Rocks I decided to make it a trendy Band Golem. It actually fits really well on this team, giving it a powerful priority and wallbreaker. I didn't want Band on Stoutland anymore since three Choice Users is disgusting, so I put Silk Scarf + Work Up, which works both as a setup sweeper and Probopass lure. Team struggles a bit with Cacturne but everything is a 50-50 with Cacturne anyway, you either predict the sucker or don't (also if you want put Singal beam on Prinplup to lure)...other stuff like Rotom-F and Floatzel are dangerous but it's offense and can play around it.

Standard Choice Band Stoutland and Choice Scarf Dodrio. Added Stunfisk because it has Stealth Rock and checks pretty much every physical attacker in the tier. I chose to run Yawn to deal with the stuff that will tend do switch into it, such as Rotom-F, and in general sleep turns can provide a semi-safe switch in for the other attackers. Stone Edge can be used too to specifically deal with Rotom-F but who expects Yawn let's be serious???? My boy Frogadier is there to lead and set up Toxic Spikes, to have that sweet poison vs grounde Pokemon. It's not necessary to set both layers, since against something like Golem I'd definitely prefer using Hydro Pump to just kill it. Taunt can be replaced by something like Ice Beam or Hidden Power Electric or whatever, but dealing with Smeargle is just something I don't want to do. Pawniard deters Defog and acts as a counter or check to Muk, depending on its set. Lastly, offensive Cryogonal provides some special offensive presence while also checking Water-types. Pretty straightforward team in general, watch out for physical Floatzel, though.

I went 11-2 with this team on midladder (I played kinda poorly in the losses, but still kept the games close), so you can say this is an okay team, but one that isn't amazingly inventive either. So this team is centered around the monferno + beheeyem core provided, with Beheeyem being a pokemon I have never used in the tier before. The first thing I noticed was that this core lacked a solid Floatzel/bulky water check, so I went ahead and added what is becoming one of my new favorite mons to use in the tier: Specs Lapras. I also noted that I needed a rock setter so I went with the standard WP Lead Golem. Because of the prominence of bulky ground leads and smeargle, I added Leafeon (specifically with bullet seed and LO to get rid of sturdy and smeargle leads that decide to stay in, as well as having aerial ace for the fairly common monferno switch. Swords dance can be switched with toxic as it helps against Bulky grasses but with Dodrio, monferno, and lapras I can handle them fairly decently so I went with SD) which is somewhat risky. And lastly I went with Banded Dodrio as I was noticeably weak to other Leafeons as well as faster HO teams and it can always deal good damage and help weaken mons for the rest of my team to handle

description
So i felt like going a lil'loose on the beheeyem set because i thought that with recover i should be able to setup on a lot of walls with specially attacking walls
like clef/fisk/dino/probo and suprise them with np and then watch 'em cower in fear while picking a mon to sack, meant to be brought in late to mid game on those kinds of mons psychic for STAB and shadow ball to hit opposing psychics since it can 1v1 most of those aswell. For Monferno LO for extra power and u-turn to provide momentum. probo is for rocks and a nice mixed wall + volt is nice. Vibrava is for defog + uturn and countering golems. dodrio is for speed and more offensive pressure with facade>pursuit from the underrated/creative sets thread. zeb was choosen to beat floatzel because the team is kinda weak to it and it because overheat pressures those bulky grasses better.

Slowbroth and I have been using this team lately, and I figured it would be perfect to post for this weeks teambuilding competition! This team is built around Beheeyem, and Monferno. It's a nice Volturn team with a volturn core in Monferno, Pelipper, and Rotom-F. Beheeyem was added because it has a lot of offensive pressure, and beats things that volturn struggles with. Tank Golem was added as a reliable rocker and decent bird spam check. Next, Ursaring was added because the team needed more speed and sweeping pressensce, SD quickfeet Ursaring thrives on momentum, allowing it to safely activate it's toxic orb. Then, Rotom-F was added to the volturn core, because it has the ability to pressure opposing teams, and is a really offensive Pokémon to have on Volturn. Lastly, Pelipper was added because It's a nice ferno check, and defensive pivot allowing it to switch in on most physical attacks and to give the team Hazard Control. shoutout's to Slowbroth! Hope you guys Enjoy!

Beeheyem is an interesting pokemon, despite being slow it is powerful but since i wanted to make the team pretty interesting too, i wanted to turn the team pretty faster even not having fast pokemon so Trick Room support helps Beheeyem and its teammates destroying the opposing team Monferno is a great partner to Beeheyem, protecting it from Dark types such as Pawniard, has the Swords Dance set to boost itself against the opposing team, Trick Room may help since that lets it outslow Scarf Rotom Frost and Zebstrika for example, : It seems weird to include Murkrow in this team, right? but this little bird has a nice atk stat and is a pursuit trapper, it gets rid of Grumpig and Mr. Mime. Remember when i said that i wanted that the team could be fast even without fast pokemon? Prankster Tailwind is helpful on those occasions as it supports many team members, I needed a fairy resist/normal resist and a slow voltturn user so i went with Probopass, Thunder Wave is great to slow down the opposing threats, it has Passho berry to take water type moves from the likes of Swanna, who are annoying to this team, Next pokemon is Servine, it's used as a Ground type check/counter, paralyzes opponents with Glare and benefits from Trick Room/Tailwind support,Lastly, i wanted another pokemon that could be an offensive juggernaut, Marowak is stupidly powerful, having over 400 atk and has the potential of sweeping the opponent's team, either by Trick Room or Tailwind.
