This Post serves a very simple purpose: to ease teambuilding by giving you sets of Pokémon to use together that work well together!
Be sure to read the OP of the NatDex Good Cores thread (linked above) for a full definition of what goes here, but in short, cores can be split into 3 categories: Offensive, Balanced, and Defensive. Offensive Cores consist of 2-3 Pokémon that can break down each other's checks, which allows one of them to sweep. Weather Cores consisting of a setter and an offensive abuser are also an example of an offensive core. Defensive cores usually consist of 2-3 defensive Pokémon that synergize well together, either by covering for each other's weaknesses or providing utility that the other one appreciate. Balanced cores usually consist of a mixture of offensive and defensive Pokémon, where the defensive Pokémon supports the offensive Pokémon or the offensive Pokémon is able to beat something that threatens the defensive Pokémon.
Suggestions on what cores to put in this post are very highly encouraged, as I think this can be a wonderful teambuilding resource to help newer players. Just by using one of the cores in here, you could have 1/3 or 1/2 of your team done already, which is absolutely huge for a new player. Thus, if you have suggestions, then either post in this thread, the JolteMons thread, or tell me on the JolteMons Discord!
Also, if you see anything here you disagree with it, please feel free to let me know, that generates discussion which helps this become an even better resource!
