Please follow this example when you post your core:
Gastly @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Level: 5
EVs: 200 SpA / 80 SpD / 200 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 1 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 30 Spe
- Shadow Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
- Substitute
Chinchou @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Volt Absorb
Level: 5
EVs: 52 Def / 228 SpA / 220 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Scald
- Hydro Pump
- Dazzling Gleam / Ice Beam
And insert a short description of the core here. This core works together offensively to remove Grass-type Pokemon by luring them in with Chinchou's Volt Switch and blasting them away with Gastly. In return, Chinchou can revenge KO Abra, Shell Smash users, and +1 Scraggy, all of which help Gastly out. Gastly is also immune to the Ground-type attacks that threaten Chinchou, which is a nice bonus! This solid offensive core brings potent wallbreaking and Speed control to any offensive team.

SM LC Really Good Cores
At the most basic level, a good Pokemon core works together to win battles! A good core is comprised of two or three Pokemon that share offensive or defensive synergy, meaning they either break or wall certain sets of Pokemon the other cannot. Having a good core helps you teambuild around a specific goal, making the process much easier and helping create much stronger teams. This thread will showcase some of the really good cores available to teambuilders in SM LC! Feel free to submit your two- or three-mon core for consideration; additionally, if you're stuck in a teambuilding rut, stop by this thread to pick up some new ideas!
