Voting stage for Round 21 will begin now. 6 teams to choose from. Voting ends Friday 6 pm est.

Team 1



I'm really bad with explanations so sorry if this sucks. Anyway, let's get on with it. When i first saw the core, I knew i was going to use Banded Dragonite. Banded Dragonite is a really good partner for Alkazam because it can break past the special walls which counter alakazam. It hits really hard and nothing likes switching in on it. Alakazam on the other hand can beat the physical walls dragonite has trouble breaking past so they both wrok really well together. After deciding on the sets for the core, I noticed that the core benefited a lot from entry hazards. With spikes and rocks up even hard walls have trouble switching in on these monsters. Klefki was chosen for setting up spikes and also to act as a counter to opposing special attackers such as Lati@s, Gardevoir, Alakazam and others. At this point the team looked really weak to bisharp. I went over a couple of options like cobalion and breloom before i selected keldeo. I chose Keldeo because it pressures the opposing team's special walls meaning that they cannot counter both alakazam and keldeo. So one of the two can almost always break past them. It also deals very easily with physical walls such as skarmory, lando t, hippowdon, ferrothron and others which trouble dragonite. Now i needed a rocker and a hazard remover. Sand core of Tyranitar and excadrill was chosen for this. Excadrill acts as my late game sweeper. When my wallbreakers are done blasting holes in the opposing team, excadrill comes in to ensure the victory. Tyranitar was chosen over hippowdown because it doesn't have any offensive pressence on the field which just kills momentum for this kind of team. Even though hippowdon helps me vs strong ground types, losing out on mmentum is really bad and can cost games.

Team 2

This is a pretty fun team I threw together. I initially added Keldeo as it helped versus Bisharp and Keldeo. I'm really terrible at descriptions lol. Anyways I added Sand because Talonflame was an issue. Alty was there to help with mane and keldeo which were still annoying.

Team 3


The classic gen 1 trick room team. Zam or Gengar usually leads, gets off TR, and massacres something with explosion to give BD lax or LO Dnite turns to cut through the opposing team like a hot knife through butter. The team has a few tricks for closing out the game after the initial TR onslaught; SD Passing with Mew to DNite for ESpeed sweeps on a weakened team or just exploding to enable Marowak's sweep. Before you ask about Zam's EVs, what can I say, it has freaking encore, bitch.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-252047949 - Maro plows through a team, unfortunately the absolute min roll on outrage was gotten on the last turn, still a pretty sick "moral victory" though
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-182518831 - the exploders take care of marowak's checks for a final sweep
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-216686469 - pretty sure this would have been a win if self-KO clause wasn't retarded. I mean, WTF...?

First, I noticed the Dark weakness. Dark-types are so annoying at the moment, so I chose Keldeo. I needed a Fairy-check so I added Heatran which has good synergy with Keldeo. I needed a Mega and something to check birds, Diancie-Mega come to my mind. Finally, we have Landorus-T. To be honest, I was inspired by Good cores thread: Alakazam + Heatran, Heatran + Dragonite, Alakazam + Diancie, Keldeo + Landorus-T.
Team 6


This is a pretty simple offense team. HP Fire Zam lures Scizor and Ferrothorn for the rest of the team. Dnite is CB because that's the only worthwhile set. Lati keeps Dnite's Multiscale intact and lets me basically use it twice, which is cool. Azu gives the team a bit of a switchin to special attackers while still being strong. Lando has SR and KOff > Uturn because other Landos were annoying me. Bish is just a wallbreaker with priority. Team works pretty well, no big weaknesses that I've noticed, and it's nice and easy to use.

are u guys actually voting for that lmao

Team 5
idk if i can vote cuz i had something to do with the team but **team 3** isn't like a meme or a heatah thing it actually works although its heavily match up based. before this thread it also had the surprise of "Gen 1? TR?"

it has a lot going for it. despite the counters for it being pretty real, it has the surprise factor, a number of different ways to be played, and real bulk and plays on attributes and things. it's not a great ladder team perhaps but a lot of thought went into it and it can be quite strong. like i said, it's match up based but it does work. it's like a really good fake punt, the sort of thing colts fans dream of uk?

also if i can vote **team 3** all day
 
As heat as Team 3 is, it's already 35-40 degrees celsius where I live meaning I don't need anymore heat than I current have. This and the fact that I tested Team 3 and I went 2-7 but that might just be my inability to handle such an amazing team. Team 5
