Type Cores are cores that originate from 3 types that work well together. They can be great offensively, or have really good defensive synergy. The goal of this project will be to have the community come up with cores for the types for that week, and hopefully discover new cores in the process. It'll be more focused on type affiliations and type synergy and how they work together either offensively or defensively, and not so much on partners and threats.
I'd prefer if you don't just copy cores from the Good Cores thread and use those as your own, but if you have different mons and sets, then I'm fine with that.
Innovation is great, as long as it's viable and effective. If someone's core has a problem, please help them nicely, and don't start petty arguments. The rules are below. Reserving cores is allowed. 1 core per person please as this will make it easier to vote / pick a winner.
1. Each week I'll nominate a type core along with an archetype (i.e. offense, defense, etc.), and during the following week the community will submit cores to this thread. You may reserve cores as long as they are done in a timely manner (~24 hours). Each core will require an explanation of its efficiency, and be sure to explain any unusual EV spreads or moves used. Each core requires 3 mons.
2. After the week has passed, we will all vote for the best core for that week. Everyone gets 2 votes.
3. The winner and their core will be placed in the Hall of Fame.
4. Good Luck and Have Fun ;)
If you want an example, then you can look through the good cores forum. I'll leave one below
