NFE Sample Teams
Last updated: January 8th, 2026

Hello all and welcome to the SV NFE Sample Team thread! This thread's goal is to provide good and easy to use teams for players unfamiliar with the metagame. This is a community driven project, so all submissions are appreciated!
​
Posting Guidelines
  • We encourage you to add a description to your submissions. This makes it easier for newer people to the tier to understand how to use the team effectively.
  • Sample teams should be representative of the metagame. As such, teams with very niche Pokémon or sets have a low chance of becoming samples. Teams with unranked Pokémon should not be submitted.
  • If you ever have any questions or concerns about a team here, or if you are unsure about a team you are wanting to submit, feel free to reach out to me, sleid or anyone else on the council!

Here is how you a can format a standard team submission:
Code: 
Team paste: https://pokepast.es/
Short description explaining EVs (3-5 lines): (Leave this in blank if all the EVs are standard)

- Not a posting guideline, but if there is any questions towards the teams currently posted, or if you wanna submit a team and are unsure, feel free to reach out to me or sleid for any clarifications you need or concerns you have towards the project.

It's a core originally devised by Zcarlett during UMPL. I made a few edits to it to make it more offensive in nature. Unsure if Zcarlett wants her exact paste to be hidden or not but here's the replay it was used.

Here's my version of the team:

Seadra always outspeeds adamant Pignite; Hattrem always kills Koffing with psychic after rocks, rest in defense. Hattrem's EVs are less overall important but it helps to have spatk EVs to generally deal more damage with mfire against Tink as well as dkiss versus Krokorok and Scraggy.
I elected to put shadow ball on boots Drakloak since the team has limited ways of dealing with Dusclops, although Shadow Ball does certainly help with opposing Hattrem as well.
 
Forgot to post but wanted to put my hat in the ring. Made this in UMPL and I think it still holds up right now. Click the sprites for access.

:Monferno: :Koffing: :Quaxwell: :Tinkatuff: :Dusclops: :Thwackey:

Mostly an offensive VoltTurn core. Monferno and Thwackey both provide breaking power and complement each other nicely with U-turn and Knock Off. Monferno was Choice Band to ensure Close Combat vs. Quaxwell is a likely 2HKO (88.3% chance to). Thwackey provides healing with Grassy Terrain, sweeping capabilities with Grassy Glide, and nuking potential with Wood Hammer. EVs for Quaxwell was to outrun Pignite, and the EVs for Dusclops is to survive two Flare Blitzes after losing Eviolite. Dusclops also provides spinblocking support and an all-purpose general wall. Thief for Koffing is used over Will-O-Wisp in case its Eviolite is knocked away, and because of Koffing's excellent physical bulk, it's usually going to be the Knock Off absorber.
