Team 1 by TaceBreeze wins, great job! I'll put your team in the Hall of Fame shortly.
Round 14:
Figured it'd be fun to get in the Halloween spirit and dedicate this round to Ghost-types! You can use the standard ones or go crazy with any Ghost that you want, the only requirement for this round is that your team must feature at least one Ghost-type! This should be a fun round so I can't wait to see what you guys are gonna come up with (Bonus points for using the less standard ones tbh). This round will end on Thursday, November 2nd!

Started off with the standard Chandelure set, because of its good offensive typing, high base powered STAB moves and good Special Attack stat, with this combination it can 2HKO a lot of the tier. I decided to add Mantine as it's able to beat Ash-Greninja which Chandelure sort of invites in unless it clicks Energy Ball, Mantine also gives a Ground-type immunity. Decided to add Ferrothorn because it has good synergy with both Chandelure and Mantine, Chandelure is immune to Fire-type attacks and Fighting-type attacks while Mantine resists both of those, it also benefits Mantine because it resists Electric- and Rock-types attacks. I chose to use Landorus-T as it can set up Stealth Rocks for my team and is a solid wincondition. Mega Mawile is another rather good team mate with Chandelure as Chandelure is immune to Fire-type attacks, Mega Mawile also gets lots of set up opportunities because Chandelure tends to get Pursuit trapped by Tyranitar. Lastly i added Tapu Lele because it improves my match up against offense a lot.

This team has a very basic concept which is built around Sticky Webs + Rain combining the two offensive playstyles into one team.
I started off with Smeargle as my sticky web setter of choice and added Bisharp as it enjoys outspeeding threats it wouldn't normally could like Mew and non Choice Scarf Tapu Lele while absorbing defog which annoys sticky web so adding Bisharp benefits the team, Zygarde is a scary late game sweeper and benefits it's teammates wallbreaking threats that Zygarde normally couldn't break through, I added Choice Specs Pelipper to the team to help break through threats like Mega Venusaur and Tangrowth which Zygarde appreciates having removed and also benefits webs support allowing Pelipper to outspeed threats it won't normally touch such as Tapu Bulu and Mega Medicham while also bringing in Drizzle allowing Mega Swampert to be effective on this team.
Finally ending this off with Decidueye which is a fun wallbreaker that can break so many Pokemon with a 2+ Sinister Arrow Raid like fully defensive Celesteela and Toxapex; Deicdueye benefits being able to outspeed threats under webs support and can provides being a useful spinblocker vs Excadrill.
+2 252+ Atk Decidueye Sinister Arrow Raid vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Celesteela: 397-468 (99.7 - 117.5%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
+2 252+ Atk Decidueye Sinister Arrow Raid vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 300-354 (98.6 - 116.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

This was what happened. Maybe I'm very offensive, but I was excited to take advantage of the event every year and create something nice or decent. Well, being very brief this is a team based on Cofagrigus because I think it is not bad mon and I wanted to give it a small space. Also, I like the core with my mega, which is my favorite. That set is another recommendable one, I added it on the offensive TR to innovate and that it would not come out very benefited. WoW always accompanied by Hex is good combination to increase damage and null mons fast and offensive. Toxic Spikes on Haze seems to me a great idea since in this sense I press more. The rest, Greninja Ash specs + Spikes / Growth AV / MMawile with SR. Yes, rare but I only have that gap to take. Scarf Latios and Z Thundu.

Delicious, nutritious team here. We have a true classic, sableye stall. Obviously we have Sableye as it can check things like stall breaker heatran, mega medicham and gengar. Next on the team we got papa skarmory and mama chansey. These two are pretty self explanatory; chansey to wall most of the special mons and skarm for most of the physical ones. Next we got bulu to check lele, koko, fini, oppoisng bulus and keldeo, while also giving extra recovery to the rest of the team. Alomomola is here to check Zard X, Marowak, Zygarde and maybe in a perfect world where Mawile didn't run swords dance or thunder punch and got low rolls on all their play roughs. You can run Toxapex or hippowdon in this spot. However, roost 3 attack Zard X beats Toxapex and neither Toxapex nor Hippowdon rounds out the pink core. Lastly, Clefable is here to check setup sweepers and complete the pink trio. The biggest threats to the team are Mega Mawile, Stallbreaker Heatran and Calm Mind Reuniclus with z flash cannon. These pokemon have checks but can all muscle through the team and in this post-duggian age it is hard to build stalls not 6-0ed by Mawile

This team looks kinda odd at first glance, but it's a nice mix of some nice sets that have seen usage in snake (Metronome Gengar, Sub Volcanion, Rocks Megatar, etc.) and generally standard sets overall. Sub Volcanion + Pursuit is a cool core that works really well and Rocks Megatar is generally a really neat set that has a ton of utility both in terms of what it checks and Pursuit support that it provides. Scarf Lando-T is fantastic rn and I elected to use HP Fire on this team just because Kartana is king and controls the OU metagame as we know it. Finally, I threw on AV Magearna because it blanket checks half the tier, Metronome Gengar because it's a neat breaker that also absorbs tspikes for Volcanion and Latios to provide hazard removal, which is pretty much mandatory outside of HO these days and uses a neat set in Z Surf that lures in and smacks bandtar. Fun team overall that I'm really liking overall. Joey used another variant of this in one of his lives recently, but that build had way too much pressure on Zapdos to Defog vs Tspikes balance, so I made a couple changes and come up with this :]

This team has a very basic concept which is built around Sticky Webs + Rain combining the two offensive playstyles into one team.
I started off with Smeargle as my sticky web setter of choice and added Bisharp as it enjoys outspeeding threats it wouldn't normally could like Mew and non Choice Scarf Tapu Lele while absorbing defog which annoys sticky web so adding Bisharp benefits the team, Zygarde is a scary late game sweeper and benefits it's teammates wallbreaking threats that Zygarde normally couldn't break through, I added Choice Specs Pelipper to the team to help break through threats like Mega Venusaur and Tangrowth which Zygarde appreciates having removed and also benefits webs support allowing Pelipper to outspeed threats it won't normally touch such as Tapu Bulu and Mega Medicham while also bringing in Drizzle allowing Mega Swampert to be effective on this team.
Finally ending this off with Decidueye which is a fun wallbreaker that can break so many Pokemon with a 2+ Sinister Arrow Raid like fully defensive Celesteela and Toxapex; Deicdueye benefits being able to outspeed threats under webs support and can provides being a useful spinblocker vs Excadrill.
+2 252+ Atk Decidueye Sinister Arrow Raid vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Celesteela: 397-468 (99.7 - 117.5%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
+2 252+ Atk Decidueye Sinister Arrow Raid vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 300-354 (98.6 - 116.4%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

This was what happened. Maybe I'm very offensive, but I was excited to take advantage of the event every year and create something nice or decent. Well, being very brief this is a team based on Cofagrigus because I think it is not bad mon and I wanted to give it a small space. Also, I like the core with my mega, which is my favorite. That set is another recommendable one, I added it on the offensive TR to innovate and that it would not come out very benefited. WoW always accompanied by Hex is good combination to increase damage and null mons fast and offensive. Toxic Spikes on Haze seems to me a great idea since in this sense I press more. The rest, Greninja Ash specs + Spikes / Growth AV / MMawile with SR. Yes, rare but I only have that gap to take. Scarf Latios and Z Thundu.
Team 5
Delicious, nutritious team here. We have a true classic, sableye stall. Obviously we have Sableye as it can check things like stall breaker heatran, mega medicham and gengar. Next on the team we got papa skarmory and mama chansey. These two are pretty self explanatory; chansey to wall most of the special mons and skarm for most of the physical ones. Next we got bulu to check lele, koko, fini, oppoisng bulus and keldeo, while also giving extra recovery to the rest of the team. Alomomola is here to check Zard X, Marowak, Zygarde and maybe in a perfect world where Mawile didn't run swords dance or thunder punch and got low rolls on all their play roughs. You can run Toxapex or hippowdon in this spot. However, roost 3 attack Zard X beats Toxapex and neither Toxapex nor Hippowdon rounds out the pink core. Lastly, Clefable is here to check setup sweepers and complete the pink trio. The biggest threats to the team are Mega Mawile, Stallbreaker Heatran and Calm Mind Reuniclus with z flash cannon. These pokemon have checks but can all muscle through the team and in this post-duggian age it is hard to build stalls not 6-0ed by Mawile

i puked a bit after seeing team 5.
team 4 is cute cause cofag can rly pull its weight now if played properly but as with the problem when it comes to constructing proper pseudo trick room teams, we need mons that help weaken cofag's threats before allowing OTR cofag to clean up but after tinkering with the team.. the rest of the team just ends up smashing the opponent and OTR cofag just ends up getting benched D:
team 3 is kinda cool but its pretty much just an attempt to smash two good archetypes together so.. yeh
team 2 i have no comments cause i wanted to try it but didnt have enough time / wont have enough time for now
team 1 is the one i had the most fun with cause it rewarded good play even though it was literally another case of 5 fat mons + 1 filler skeleton.
so yeah, im going with team 4 since it makes me think a lot more before making my plays.
