Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Smog Awards!
Break This Team - UU Edition! (Week 9 - Submission phase)

Week 4 is over! Congratulations to pokemon sparrow for winning it :D. Week 6's team is from our esteemed UUTL dodmen! Thanks a lot dude :]
Results:
1st - pokemon sparrow: 10
2nd - TSR: 9
3rd - HotFuzzBall: 4
Ov3r Ac3: 1
The team focuses on stacking hazards and abusing them with Reuniclus, Sleep Talk Roar Suicune, and Scarf Krookodile. Eject Button Chesnaught is used with Magneton to reliably trap Scizor, making Reuniclus's job much easier. Scarf Krookodile is important to revenge kill threats like Gengar, and is Adamant to ensure the KO on Latias while doing more damage to Pokemon like Togekiss and CM Keldeo (it only misses out on outspeeding Mega Aerodactyl, which is dealt with well by Suicune and Reuniclus). The team's ability to eliminate opposing hazard removers gives it a great matchup against other defensive teams, while its solid defensive backbone gives it room to breathe against offensive ones.
The deadline is April 6th, 2 PM GMT -3! Also, DON'T submit a core with Mewnium Z. Have fun, guys!

Jolly Nature

- Wing Attack / Earthquake
- Aqua Tail
- Hone Claws
Hydreigon kills everything that is not Blissey, then Mega Aerodactyl cleans it and Krookodile.
Aerodactyl can change Wing Attack to Earthquake to easily kill Magneton, but it will lose the way to do OHKO to Chesnaught.
Hydreigon can use Life Orb to switch move or Specs to maximize the damage.

At first glance, its a fat balance/semi-stall with no hazard control, so its fairly simple to assume Spikes = death for this team. Klefki can set up all 3 layers if it gets in on Blissey fairly easily. Afterwards, Blissey can't even counter Celebi properly with all 2-3 layers of hazards, and beforehand Celebi pressures it greatly with Leech Seed. Colbur stops Krook from revenging Celebi, and it 1v1s the rest of the team.

Cheated a little in tdkd.. obviously I altered the Celebi set a little to be a 100% counterteam rather than simple good matchup n_n

This is a fighting/setup spam core with a simple goal of having one mon pave the way for the other to sweep the opposing team. It can work either way, as the opposing team is rather weak to both Hawlucha and Heracross. Hawlucha can easily set up swords dances and/or substitutes on Blissey, Krookodile, and Chesnaught, while Heracross can set up on Blissey, Chesnaught, and Krook (depending on what it's locked into). Once the problematic mons for one of the members of the core are destroyed or weakened by the other one (Krookodile for Heracross, Reuniclus for Hawlucha, and Suicune for both to an extent), the other can set up a SD and clean up.

Spdef gliscor pretty much 6-0s this team, with the exception of a healthy suicune. CM fight Z keldeo also kinda 6-0's this team. It also serves to lure in suicune and chesnaught and OHKO them with a +1 Z-secret sword
+1 252 SpA Keldeo All-Out Pummeling (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Chesnaught: 493-582
(129.7 - 153.1%)
+1 252 SpA Keldeo All-Out Pummeling (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Suicune: 346-408 (85.6 - 100.9%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
+1 252 SpA Keldeo All-Out Pummeling (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Suicune: 346-408 (85.6 - 100.9%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
(also not sure if Z-secret sword being special is a bug or if thats how it works but ya)
this core is also extra knock off resistant provided u activate toxic orb already.
Keldeo cant really switch into much, but it can come in on a double, or a sac, and set up vs blissey, Krook if ur ballsy, and a choiced magneton for sure, and then anything if u predict right.
once Suicune is decently weakened, gliscor just 6-0s lol

3 out of the 6 mons of this team are setup fodders for Toxicroak, which also has the movepool, stabs and ability to deal with this team by its own once Krookodile is gone (this last one isn’t a switch in because it has to rely on predicting whether Toxicroak’s gonna use a fighting move or not), Hydreigon has been a good partner of Toxicroak since ORAS, giving it switch ins for free with U-turn (mainly predicting Blissey) and it also can help it out with Reuniclus or Krooko which could be problematic for Toxicroak

These two do a very good job supporting each other as well as their teammates as early-game wallbreakers.Each one covers the other's weaknesses and cobalion helping the sweep of mega absol,removing the fairy that bother Mega- absol. Cobalio while also appreciates the help of Mega-Absol,which tempt to block the psichic type. In general this core would probably fit best on offense/balanced.
I build a very great team with this core
