Hello all! Creator of Chaos has asked me to close the week, so here I am. But before all that, I'd like to apologise to sd bulu for not crediting you. We were unaware that you had a forums account, that's our bad. Unsurprisingly, this week's winner is Volcarona by Givrix ! Whatever coc does will happen eventually.

As expected, I have delivered yet another reuniclus team. This week's team comes right out of the depths of my own builder, focusing on the combination of Reuniclus and entry hazards support - particularly both forms of spikes. Reuniclus not only gives the team a very solid wincon versus the likes of offence, but it also provides the team with a comfortable check to notable breakers, including Mega Medicham, Mega Latios and Zygarde and use quite a notable list of 'mons as setup fodder, including the aforementioned, Clefable, Gastrodon and Celesteela. Speaking of Celesteela, it provides this team with an effective check to common breakers, including Alakazam, Gliscor, Tapu Bulu and Tornadus, while providing a ground immunity and an excellent matchup versus offence, thanks to its ability to simply strip momentum versus the aforementioned, in addition to common offence staples. Toxapex gives this team the key toxic spikes, as well an effective check to breakers that would otherwise threaten this core, including Greninja, Mawile and Tornadus. Pex, in conjunction with Reuniclus, also serve as the last resort versus stall thanks to the ability to infinitely switch, forcing the opponent to take residual hazard damage. Heatran acts as the team's primary (and only) stallbreaker, allowing the team to break past both Toxapex and Chansey, allowing the team to reliably break past bulkier builds, while also providing the team with Stealth Rock support. Greninja added spikes, gave the team priority and an excellent matchup to both offence and balance, while also serving as the team's primary check to stuff like Hawlucha and Tapu Koko. It also highly appreciates Heatran's ability to remove its most prominent checks. Finally, Landorus simultaneously acts as the primary form of speed control and hazard control, on top of providing the team with a key volt switch immunity and a blanket check to many threatening breakers, such as Mawile and Zygarde.
Apparently CoC doesn't set deadlines so you don't have one! Happy Posting and to everyone who participates in my projects, they will be updated very shortly! Temporary New Rule:

Hydreigon has been a rising force in the OU metagame since OLT, and has a very good matchup against this team. Reuniclus, Ash-Greninja, Heatran, and Toxapex can't really punish Hydreigon switching in. Celesteela and Landorus-T can't switch into Hydreigon very well either. All in all, this team creates way too many free turns for Hydreigon which allows it to break the team very effectively.

Mega Pinsir could absolutely shred this team apart if it weren’t for Celesteela. Magnezone traps this thankfully, leaving the team with no reliable way to check it thanks to Lando not knowing Rock Slide and Greninja dying to +2 Quick Attack.

Marowak-A + Magearna
Under TR this core is able to threaten all team members. Marowak-A beats Reuni, Cele, and Heatran, while Gear sets TR up and beats Pex, Ash-Gren and Lando. Successful TR setup is the most important thing for Maro-A+Gear core to break this Reuni team. The biggest threat for both members of the core is Lando, as it easily fucks beats them without TR being setted. Ash-Gren is also can be threatening outside of TR, and for Maro-A even under, though Gear can beat Ash-Gren outside of TR.
Reuni is OHKOed by Maro-A's Shadow Bone. Cele is OHKOed by Flare Blitz from the same mon. Heatran is OHKOed by Maro-A's Bonemerang. Lando is OHKOed by Gear's Ice Beam. Ash-Gren is OHKOed by Tbolt from Gear. Pex is OHKOed by combination of Z-Tbolt and regular Tbolt or by +2 Maro-A's Bonemerang.
Gear's Soul-Heart allows it to quickly snowball SpA boosts, and with each KO Gear'll be harder to stop for Reuni's team.

Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 104 HP / 12 Def / 176 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power Ice
- Roost
Koko outspeeds the whole team save Lando (or post-bond Ash Gren) and can either just chunk with Thunderbolt or Volt Switch out to whatever wallbreaker you wanna pair it with. Lando-T switches into electric moves, but Koko can opt to stay in and hit it with HP Ice while living the Earthquake with room to spare -- assuming Lando doesn't play safe and go for U-Turn. Roost lets Tapu Koko stay healthy on the switches it forces vs. Celesteela and Toxapex, preventing the team from simply wearing it down with Spikes, Leech Seed, etc.
148 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 104 HP / 12 Def Shuca Berry Tapu Koko: 186-220 (60.5 - 71.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
176 SpA Tapu Koko Hidden Power Ice vs. 80 HP / 0- SpD Landorus-Therian: 268-316 (79 - 93.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
The only thing it won't do is stop Reuniclus from setting up, which is why your breaker of choice should be able to get around it. Something like choiced Hoopa-U, band Crawdaunt, Ash Gren, Mega Gyarados, Buginium Volcarona...

Apoligiges for the lack presence on my behalf. I've literally just had a work week from hell (9 straight days and I have 6 more to go) and Family issues on top to boot. But I'm here right now so I've updated the hall of fame/archive. Congrats to Flame of Heaven gaining another Archive entry. In addition Congradulations to Mega Star Universe, DKM and Givrex to entering the archive. Thanks for all your contributions to this project.

Only 3 nominations :( surely we theres more ways to break this team, if your not careful; i might snipe a few. come on OU show me what you've got
I did not have any good idea for this week besides crappy things, but since I've seen the Creator of Chaos's despair, I had to participate

Like all dark types, Hoopa-Unbound is fully immune to the actual Reuniclus set. Given that the team has no decent switch in to powerful dark moves, Hoopa-Unbound can easily break this team. Knock off is here just in case you need to preserve the PPs of Fury, it's also a powerful dark type attack that can 2hko almost every Pokémon of the team (and removing items is always cool).

Mega-Swampert under rain can 2HKO everything at worst. The only thing that can deal with it is Acid Armor Reuniclus, but that can’t safely switch into a rain boosted Waterfall, and is easily taken advantage of if running a dark.

Zeraora has enough coverage to hit the team for super effective damage, and Fini fits well as a decent check to Ash Greninja and Lando, as well as being able to Taunt Pex, Reuni and Cele, and weaken them with Nature's Madness.
Tbh u can switch for +Atk on Zera for guarantee knock out for every mon after rocks, but being slower than AshG sucks

Neither Celesteela nor Heatran appreciate this core's access to Fighting coverage and Nature's Madness, making them more easily overpowered than you'd think; afterwards, Grass spam runs wild against this team. Kart breaks through Reun, Pex and Lando even without a boost and AV Bulu is a solid counter to Ash-Gren.

This weeks team is Blacephon Hyper Offence as suggested by pooyou123456789q earlier in the week and borrowed from the sample teams threads. Tho not as solid as it was in early Sumo Hyper offence is still an Archtype to be feared and this team featuring multiple focus sash users and a sub calm mind Blacephon is a great example
Sets
Explanation:
Thats the team. I wish you all good-luck this week breaking the team. Happy nominations

Explanation:
The idea of the team is to lay out hazards via Excadrill and Greninja before sweeping via one of the teams many win coniditions. Blacephon is the primary win Con built to capatilise on the switch's its cause's through Ghostium and Substitute or win with Calm mind against slower teams. Flash cannon Shift gear Magerna another Win Condition capatilise's on the fairy dominated meta by using Flash cannon over moonblast or Fluer cannon. Zygarde a difficult pokemon to face without clefable makes an appearance with Iapapa Sub coil set that takes advantage of some of metas more bulky attackers. Mega Gyarados rounds out the team offering great utuility against stall as well as being able to clean teams after a dragon Dance
Thats the team. I wish you all good-luck this week breaking the team. Happy nominations
