Trans rights are human rights
With the current suspect test going on and the Doubles ladder always in a state of extreme mediocrity, I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread where several good teams for the Salamence metagame are collected and available for the general public to use. I'd love to have this as a resource for a live suspect tour like the ones OU is doing (McMeghan answer my IRC message D: I want these), but for now it's just for the ladder and friendly battles.
I won't be opening this thread to the public. The other moderators and I will be picking the best teams to put in this thread. That said, if you feel you have a team that is effective, easy to use and understand, and indicative of the state of the metagame, feel free to submit it to one of us and you might see it here!
