Break This Team v2
Welcome to the second edition of Break This Team for SS UU! While a lot of metagame-defining teams may seem perfect, in reality all teams have their selection of poor matchups, and in this project your goal will be to spot the weak links in teams chosen by the host(s). Each week, a new team will be posted that was built by a member of the UU community, and as participants your goal will be to try and find a core of 2 Pokemon that breaks this team efficiently.hosted by Estarossa

Break This Team v2
This project will involve two different phases each week: a submission phase lasting 4-5 days where participants will be given the opportunity to submit their cores, and a voting phase lasting 2-3 days where people may vote for their favourite cores. If you win a week, you will be added to our hall of fame!
I am always looking for teams to use for this project, so if you would like to help out please do contact me on Discord (Saria#4720), as all help will be greatly appreciated!
Rules
- Please do not post one-liners. When providing a description for your core, you do not need to write an elaborate essay, but 2-3 lines of description explaining how the core performs against the team is a good amount to aim for.
- This is not a counterteaming competition. The host(s) reserve the right to reject submissions if they do not involve sets or Pokemon considered viable enough in the metagame. The goal here is to submit viable, functional cores that would work in the current metagame and that the team of the week is weak to. Cores must also have synergy with each other, a core of Quagsire + Terrakion for instance would not be acceptable as they fit on completely different playstyles.
- Participants are only allowed to post one core with only two Pokemon.
- Reservations are allowed, but must be completed within 24 hours of posting. After this time, other participants are allowed to take these cores.
- In order to encourage creativity and more originality between submissions, the same Pokemon may only be used two times in the same submission round. Cores will only be considered identical to each other if the sets are the same; minor moveset changes may be subject to being considered a copy however.
- Please do not try to manipulate or rally voting. If you are caught doing this, you will be prevented from taking part in the project anymore until decided otherwise.
- You may not vote for your own core.

"This is a rain team featuring some incredibly scary rain wallbreakers and cleaners in CB Azumarill, LO Kingdra, LO Seismitoad, and NP Thundy-T. Seismitoad is a nice choice for a SR setter on a team like this, helping with the Electric mus, especially Zeraora, while providing extra speed control. LO Kingdra is something I prefer over Specs, as despite the slight power drop it becomes much harder to play around, and you can't just pivot around it with stuff like Amoong / AV Tang / Latias etc as easily. SD U-turn Scizor provides nice defensive utility, a latias check, nice momentum to support the wallbreakers, and can clean late game along with Kingdra. Politoed's set for the most part isn't a huge concern as its only really used to set Rain, but perish trap can be a pain for fat teams to deal with and provides some utility versus some set up sweepers. NP Thundy-T rounds off the team with a terriying Rain wallbreaker, secondary Electric-immunity, and another way to pressure Grass-types"
