Description

Qwilfish + Scrafty is a nice core, but its weak to Psychic spam especially focus blast users such as Meloetta. Escavalier was a nice check to that, plus Mega Abomasnow, Tangrowth, and CM Virizion which looked threatening. Durant looks dangerous now and I needed a hazard setter so I went with Rhyperior, as it can stop Manectric from Volt Switching around. Rhyperior also checks Tyrantrum so that's a plus point. Now I needed a fast pivot that can provide momentum for the team so I went with Manectric, as its coverage are really useful. Finally, team was very weak to LO Delphox, so Blastoise provided to be a nice glue, and remove any hazards that annoyed the team. Chople Berry Scrafty makes it live a HJK from Medicham and Emboar, making them less of an annoyance to deal with. The key plan for your team would be stacking hazards, pivoting around with Manectric, as it forces switches, and then clean with Scrafty.

Calm mind Diancie seems like a cool set to run (not sure how good it is though) so I wanted to request it.

Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Moonblast

I encourage you to tweak the EVs because I don't really know what the standard speed is. A different moveset is fine too as long as it has Calm Mind.
This set allows Diancie to set up on a ton of bulk mons and some offensive mons that can't hit it well. The special attack stat isn't the best, especially uninvested, but after a lot of calm minds it does the job. A spread with more special attack could be used as well. I think a nice balance team fits well for this mon. A good teammate (that I also want to use) could be Dugtrio to trap steels and poisons, and it is also requested above.
EDIT: Another set, that I actually prefer, is a Dual Dance Diancie.

A pretty straightforward balance with mega steelix + alomomola being a solid pair that can switch against most of the tier etc etc. Same core you posted but made some changes on the mola spread cause I feel a mixed spread with some emphasis on defense is better overall. You wanted hazard control so enter flygon, totally spdef flygon to check mons like houndoom and life orb delphox much better. Next added a virizion it is such an amazing mon and a great win condition for the team. Now, I always zen headbutt is bad but in a metagame with venusaur, amoonguss and bulky poisons like garbodor getting traction zen headbutt is pretty good (I apologize to anyone that I said it is bad :V).

Last slots were tricky but since you cant really check everything defensively decided to go with an offensive mon that can soft check annoying mon like mega abomasnow and be a pursuit trapper because virizion didnt had stone edge for mons like sigilyph. Enter sneasel, good mon against offense thanks to its amazing speed tier and coverage, love the hazard reoval and pivoting flygon provides and avoid annoying 50/50s with the psychic types since it outspeeds all of them naturally. The team NEEDED a fighting check and a soft check to mons like tangrowth and venusaur so enter sigilyph, air slash over psychic cause scrafty can get out of hand, uncommon but better be safe than sorry.

Hope you enjoy! Any issues dial me up.

I would like to request a team around these two Pokemon as I believe they have great synergy and stuff. Samurott weakens Grass types that Virizion for the most part dreads, and Virizion provides an immediate answer to a lot of the water types it fears. A bulky offense team is preferred, though balanced is pretty chill too. The sets are completely up to the builder, CM and SD aren't required if their heart has to spread its wings and soar beyond the limits of my request. I am deathly afraid of Choice Scarf Medicham so don't forget a fighting resist!

Description

Samurott + Virizion is a really cool core to work with, but Flying types like Fletchinder are dangerous, especially since they run Speed that hits 250 to outspeed Adamant Absol. Therefore Tyrantrum is there to act as a revenge killer and Flying type check. I looked weak to Abomasnow, as I lacked a proper switchin, and Tyrantrum just destroys me. Bronzong seemed nice which can also act as a Durant check. I noticed Medicham looks very dangerous now, so I used a Rotom to discourage it from High Jump Kicking and spread status to weaken the opponent. Drapion was there as a Psychic and Fairy check, as well as setup Toxic Spikes in order to aid Rotom, Samurott, and Virizion KO opponent easily, as they're more weakened.

"I am deathly afraid of medicham so don't forget a fighting resist!"
~adds rotom

Yeah I was thinking of running Spiritomb, but Rotom is better since it can weaken bulkier builds oo. Plus with Medi u can make mindgames and the opponent is more likely to zen, so you can go Drapion and Pursuit it to get a neat ~65% off

Offense team with Glalie Mega (last team with Glalie in the archive is from like november). Pretty standard, it just break holes through stuff with STABs and can also pick some weakened mons with Ice Shard. I prefer Explosion, but EQ is fine too.

Hi LorisMasta17

DIOGO IS SOGEKING™

​

This is the same team that won the RU Teambuilding Competition last week as the mon to build around was Diancie, so I figured I'd knock out two birds with one stone. CM EP Diancie partnered with Magneton and Scarf Flygon form a really cool Offense/Bulky Offense core. Magneton is able to trap Diancie's main checks, things like Bronzong, Mega Steelix, and non-EQ Registeel (as you wouldn't usually Magnet Rise on it). Scarf Flygon is a super neat partner as it can check ground types and get some momentum via U-turn. If the opposition's sole dragon resist is Bronzong, you can win semi easily if you can sneak your Magnets in. The team was 6-0ed by Meloetta as this point and somewhat annoyed by Sigilyph and Slowking, so Glasses Tomber was added to fuck those up. Toxic Toad was added to check a ton of stuff while Melo gave us a soft fighter check and another win con. Enjoy.
(note: since you weren't too sure on EVs for Diancie, I'll explain mine: they allow you to outspeed 4 speed Alomomola, keep up a sub vs it (Scald does 22-24.3), and if you sub as it switches in, you can beat it 1v1.)

Hi BrandonBeast

NICHIJOU™​

I was thinking of making a team with Venusaur for the teambuilding competition as well as one utilizing Dugtrio. I just decided to combine the two and immediately thought of sun and added the necessary components: Fletch check / Speed out of Sun (Trum), EQ Check / Fighting Check / Sun Setter 1 / Momentum (Uxie), Sun Setter 2 / Psychic Check / Momentum (Liepard), Sun Sweeper 2 / Priority / Psychic Check 2 (Shiftry). CBA to get into too much detail because the team is fairly self-explanatory. Enjoy.
(Note: sash dugtrio is for scarf emboar or delphox which can be annoying to face, particularly under sun)

Requesting a Team around Gallade and Meloetta, please! :)

Psychic Spam is fun to use! Gallade and Meloetta are both set-up sweepers and can often carve through teams if your opponent doesn't have anything to reliably stop them or force it out. I'm particularly attached to Bulk Up + 3 Attacks Gallade, but CM + 3 Attacks Meloetta can be switched if it works better.

Thanks guys, sorry I'm not very good at Descriptions.

Sawk + Uxie is a decent core, Uxie giving it free switchins and crippling stuff for it, also checking Medi and Virizion. Flygon's there to give offensive pressure as well as Defog if necessary to make Sawk keep Sturdy. Tyrantrum is mandatory Fletchinder check as well a great revenge killer. Escavalier checks Special Sharpedo which is threatening, esp with the spread. Cacturne is used in last slot since Alomomola owns the team and a Dark-type Pokemon is appreciated on the team with a good priority. Shoutouts to Kushalos for giving me the Cacturne idea.

Glalie is a great wallbreaker and having Spikes makes it being used to its full potential. Emboar takes on Lix and Durant which are p.annoying for Glalie. Gurdurr deals with Sharpedo and is a strong setup sweeper. Seismitoad checks Fletchinder and Sharpedo, while Venusaur checks Water-types and Virizion. Banded Flygon is a solid wallbreaker and you can also opt for Defog but Spikes support + Defog is kinda ehh.

Requesting an offensive team made around Life Orb Medicham. LO Medicham is a very strong wallbreaker thanks to Pure Power and it's high power STAB moves. However, it does suffer from being a bit slow and frail, so it wants support from it's teammates. Thanks in advance!

Id like to apologize to the people that were expecting on the next couple of days but most of the builders are expecting the result of the suspect test to continue the noble cause of building teams for people.

So, Hoopa have been a really interesting addition to the tier since its introduction but after extensive theorymonning and testing can say hoopa only really works on pretty offensive builds and hazard stacking builds serving as a pretty solid spinblocker. So I went with the second route. Decided to change the hoopa set a bit if you dont mind, went with taunt to prevent most common spike setters (qwilfish, roselia on defensive builds and garbodor lately) since spikes are far more annoying than rocks on this build. 3 attacks provide excellent neutral coverage on hoopa.

Now, to make the best use of hoopa in general I needed the obvious hazards. I went with qwilfish + seismitoad for the hazard stacking core. The ground typing on seismitoad makes all the difference for these 2 water types to be really neat partners. Since I was running taunt on hoopa, decided to run poison jab on qwilfish as a replacement, and it helps a TON against opposing virizion matchups which would be nightmare-ish. Offensive SR seismitoad is another of my favorite rock setters, hydro pump and modest nature to provide the best damage output possible, pressures flygon a lot etc, etc. Cool stuff all around.

Next, needed a secondary water resist not so vulnerable to scald burns, a cleaner to take advantage of the hazards and a secondary ice resist (preferably one with pursuit cause meloetta is a threat) completed the team with swords dance virizion, life orb aerodactyl with ice fang and escavalier. Why? Virizion provides a solid win con, terrorizes balance and a pseudo ground resist. Zen headbutt cause no venusaur is going to annoy you. Ice fang on aerodactyl to pressure flygon and make it think twice before defogging and escavalier provides the necessary pursuit support to run knock off-less hoopa and swords dance virizion with zen headbutt, and a great extra wallbreaker. And a good secondary ice resist.

Medicham is pretty annoying but can be played around with the respective resistances. Hope you enjoy!

Couple of changes you can do: RUnning assault vest on escav is a possibility but gets worn down rather quickly. RUnning durant over escav can also work but then run knock off on hoopa like your original post and make qwilfish taunt + thunder wave.

Cheers!

I would like an offensive team built around Choice Band Rhyperior and Swords Dance Virizion. The idea of this team is that Rhyperior smashes holes into the opponent's team, which Virizion can clear up later.

Rhyperior @ Choice Band
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature

STAB EdgeQuake, 140 base Attack, this thing hits like a freight train full of nitro. Stone Edge and Earthquake are the STAB moves, and wreck anything not resisting them (and even some frailer Pokémon that do, like Virizion and Flygon). Megahorn OHKOes Slowking and 2HKOes Tangrowth on the switch. Ice Punch OHKOes Flygon and Virizion, although to be honest that slot's mostly filler. The EVs give enough Speed to outrun uninvested base 50s, with max Attack and the rest in HP for bulk.

Virizion @ Lum Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Leaf Blade
- Stone Edge

Swords Dance gives Virizion the power to sweep. Close Combat is the main STAB. Leaf Blade is the reliable STAB - it also lets me beat Alomomola. Stone Edge deals with the Bug and Flying types that resist my STABs, 2HKOing Braviary and OHKOing Fletchinder. EVs maximise Speed and power - Lum Berry can heal an unwanted status condition, most notably burns.

Ok after long wait hers the team. Meloetta and Gallade were the specified core so I started with them I decided SD Gallade to wallbreak and Calm Mind Meloetta to take adverse of Gallade forcing in Spirtomb and weakening it and also Melo can take on opposing Psychic-types Gallade can't, Sigilpyh, Delphox, etc. Wanted some hazards and away to not just loose to Fletch and Durant and added Mega-Lix decided on toxic over something like Roar or Stone Edge to catch Mola, Slowking, and Eelectross on the switch. Next added Flygon as a solid Hazard remover and Fire resist and Ground immnuty. Added Venusaur after to have a better match up toward Virizion and a water resist. Finally the team seemed really slow and wanted a way to revenge Hone Claws Durant do I decided to use Tyrantrum also gives me better match up toward offense. Team does have some mons you need to play around Scarf Medicham and Absol espically after an SD since it can OHKO Mega-Lix with Superpower and Tyrantrum with Sucjer Punch.

So, CB rhyperior kills everything(max speed to outspeed mola and ~sometimes~ jellicent). Uxie provides rocks and momentum, not going w mesprit since i didn't want to build Offense and not going mawile because it has pretty bad synergy with rhyperior. Spdef Blastoise forms a nice hazard core and can potentially take water hits for rhyperior and whatnot, dark pulse if you're THAT scared of hoopa, i'm not, but it's an option nonetheless. Had accelgor on this slot here for spikes etc but ultimately decided against, as that would make the team too flying/rocks weak, so went with the next offense check in the list, jolteon(Specs helps against fletchinder matchups, but you may run life orb if you'd like). I unfortunately needed an ice resist/pursuit trapper on this slot here, so we go with pursuit houndoom(iron tail is an option for hitting diancies, but not everyone would want to drop crunch so its slashed second). Last slot had to be a bulky water check/Win con, went w viriz since thats the only thing that fits the criteria, am using calm mind here but feel free to use swords dance if you'd like. ps i like japanese cartoons

Cheers!

Thanks very much, only played a few matches but seems solid so far. I changed Blastoise to physically defensive (better use of its typing) and Virizion to Swords Dance (personal thing, Focus Blast always screws me over), and it's performing pretty well. Would share replays, but that function isn't working atm.

Description

Diancie + Medicham is a cool combo, as Diancie takes Flying-types and Spiritomb for Medicham. Diancie also provides to be a solid Stealth Rock user and cleric. Flygon was added because Flygon + Diancie forms a nice core which can check Tyrantrum. The Speed EVs are to outspeed Lum SD Drapion, but you can run Defensive as well. I added Durant to have a Pokemon to threaten offensive builds, also because of the fact that it's broken. Then I added Venusaur because team looks susceptible to Virizion and Venusaur can check it pretty well apart from Zen Headbutt sets which Durant can donk easily. Rotom-Fan was added due to Durant looking very dangerous to the team, provides a nice pivot and slow Volt Switch to bring in Medicham safely too.

Basically U-Turn and Volt Switch to Medicham to break walls, Durant for easy cleaning.

[20:15:36] Diogo: hi, can you do me a favor?
[20:16:06] Diogo: post on the teambuilding convo asking aldo to change jolteon to scarf durant on my choice band rhyperior team, maybe make an update post or something and tag the dude
[20:16:13] Diogo: just copy and paste that, pleasse
[20:16:17] Diogo: thanks ^-^

So yeah, just posting to say durant is an option or something you can opt to replace jolteon on this team. Worth the try tbh:
