Welcome to the new UU Cores thread! The purpose of this thread is for the community to post and discuss various cores that work well in the metagame.
The most effective cores consist of a group of Pokemon (usually 2-3) that work together toward a specific goal. Common types of cores include offensive, defensive, or balanced. Offensive cores typically are designed to break through opposing teams with Pokemon that wear down each others' checks and counters, often combining wallbreakers and sweepers to perform well. Defensive cores are built around Pokemon that cover each others' weaknesses and provide a team with a solid set of resistances, checks to common metagame threats, and general utility. Balanced, or mixed, cores are made up of a combination of defensive and offensive components and are able to check important threats while still performing well offensively. All types of cores are welcome in this thread :]
A few guidelines:
1. Make sure to test out your core before posting it here to ensure that it performs well in the metagame. Try to keep slashes to a minimum.
2. Include a short (just a few sentences is enough) description/explanation of how your core works and how it is to be used.
3. You can use these sprites.
Here's an example of a well-known UU core, with the Pokemon stolen from the OP of the old thread:
Swampert @ Leftovers
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 240 HP / 16 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Earthquake
- Roar
Crobat @ Black Sludge
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 248 HP / 44 Def / 212 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Defog
- Roost
These two Pokemon cover each other's weaknesses well. Crobat handles Grass-types, Heracross, and other threats to Swampert while Swampert takes care of Electric-, Rock-, and Steel-types that trouble Crobat. Swampert is EVd to be as physically bulky as possible to take hits from Pokemon such as Mega Aerodactyl and Entei. Crobat is EV'd to outspeed Adamant Feraligatr after one Dragon Dance, while still retaining enough bulk to check threats such as Mega Beedrill and Heracross. They provide their team with good hazard and hazard-clearing support and together, check many relevant threats in the metagame.

To-do List:
1. Extracting cores from previous thread. (DONE!)
2. Processing cores posted by players in the previous thread. (ON-GOING)
3. Beautify the banner.
4. Should I make the text more uniform for everything?
