There's already an Aurorus team built, but feel free to leave another suggestion :]

There's already an Aurorus team built, but feel free to leave another suggestion :]

Sorry for interjecting, but I feel that his request is still valid since the team support needed for a choice specs set is significantly different than that of the rock polish set; as in the rp set wants wallbreakers so it can clean late game and the specs set has it vice versa appreciating setup sweepers to take advantage of its wallbreaking.
edit: fair enough lol

the thing is, specs probably works better than rock polish on the aurorus team as it allows aurorus to break through early for lilligant. I told tennis to use specs on the original team but he didn't listen >.>

It's been well over a week since my last suggestion, so here goes! I'm going to request a team based around Nasty Plot Ninetales, please. NP Ninetales is both ridiculously strong & amazing coverage with nearly nothing resisting it in the NU meta if running Psyshock (I'd prefer if you'd used Psyshock, but Will-O-Wisp works just as well. Also, fuck Zwelious.) This would fit best on an HO team I believe, but balance works just as well. Cheers!

I requested the same HO team with NP Ninetales a week ago. Glad this beauty is getting attention =).

 

[Orphic]

I'd like to submit my first request for a Tauros + Rotom-Fan balance. These two are both very fast and strong and work very well together from my experience. I've made a few successful teams around this core but no real show stoppers so far so I'd like to see what everyone else can bring to the table surrounding this core :)

P.s. Hello Montsegur old chum

 

[HitLikeABullet]

Let's start with this
Mawile @ Leftovers
Abillity: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Def / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
- Iron Defense
- Swords Dance
- Baton Pass
- Taunt I would recommend Building a team like this

Instead, i would like using a baton pass mawile set

The Goomy gave me permission to post this, so I thought I'd share this team I made a little while ago around Rotom-s and Tauros. I really like building around Rotom-s as it's my favorite Rotom, so this team was a joy to build. Hariyam and Mawile make up a fun core that deals with all the normal/ fire types that run around, 3 attacks CM Uxie is my favorite answer to Malamar, and Mantine is used for defog and Mega Rupt. Enjoy!

 

[Winter's Howl]

Hey guys. After the departure of Mega Steelix and Heliolisk, a lot of mons rose in viability. One such mon that I have never mastered building around is Klinklang. I actually had a team member that I would really like to see paired with it, which is Mesprit. I see that on the list of completed teams that you have a team with Xatu and Klinklang, but I don't feel that Xatu occupies the kind of role that I would like Mesprit too. In my past attempts with this kind of team I have been unable to find the a nice balance between offense, survivability, and other teammates that make keep Klinklang running against even the most prepared of teams. I don't really have many ideas for the Klinklang set because I haven't experimented with evs, but the Mesprit set I have found most effective as of late is:

Mesprit (Mesprit) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psyshock
- Signal Beam
- Energy Ball
- Healing Wish

Choice scarf Mesprit probably won't work well with Klinklang though, so feel free to change the set as you please. Thank you in advance for considering my request. Best of luck in building.

 

[Orphic]

Sir Kay this looks fantastic, I've been using hariyama as a good teammate for this core and I also tried mawile on a separate team which worked well. I had problems with rhydon and megarupt so mantine looks perfect thanks.

Rotom Frost is such a threat. It was a lot of fun to build with because most of the tier is weak to ice (including all of my teams shoutout to CanadianWifier yes i do have a bit of a nICE weakness). I opted to put wide lens over choice scarf because it allows you to run thunder over thunderbolt as well as hit both that and blizzard a lot more often than without wide lens. I have willo to cripple Hariyama's that want to switch in. You can then volt out on it, instantly crippling the main switch in to this monstrosity. Banded Hariyama was equally fun to build with. Its amazing how much of the tier does not want to switch in on this thing. I added a lot more speed than you requested because I thought it was silly for opposing defensive Hariyama's to outspeed our offensive one. Next on the squad is Regirock. This thing is almost a necessity because Archeops and Tauros exist. I chose Regirock over Rhydon because I wanted to spam status. My thought process was, if i can t-wave half my opponents team, Hariyama will have a field day. Regirock also provided me with stealth rock. Next on the team is Scyther. Now a lot of you may say i use Scyther too much and i have a problem. Well, you'd be right. I cant resist using this thing because it beats the ever so common calm mind offensive uxie, it beats malamar, and it allows this team a volt turn core. What volt turn allows me to do is bring in Yama or Ludicolo safely. Scyther is also my main switch in to fighting types like Sawk. Next, i needed a spinner. Claydol is the obvious choice so i went with that. I have enough speed for adamant Sawk. I also have shadow ball to hit Gourgeist's that try to spin block as well as Xatu which likes to come in on Claydol. Lastly i have the aforementioned Ludicolo. This mon provides me with a strong water resist. It also can get chances to set up a rain dance because I have a volt turn core. Hope you like the team :].

Heatmor is a really cool Pokemon in NU, it can bait out most of the Fire-type checks and hit them super effectively with Giga Drain and Thunderpunch, it can also use Knock Off to rid Hariyama of its Assault Vest in a pinch. Typhlosion and Pyroar appreciate Heatmor wearing down their counters, not to mention three fire types can be very owerwhelming for most NU teams. Crustle gives our fiery friends some help damaging foes with dual-entry hazards. Mismagius and Taunt on Pyroar keep these entry hazards on the field as long as possible. Mismagius can also break extremely bulky teams with Nasty Plot. Mesprit can give any Pokemon on the team another chance to shit on your opponent with Healing Wish, and can easily sweep late game after the inferno subsides. Have fun, and remember to play as aggressive as possible with this team archetype. here's an example I pulled from ladder where I stay in and make some riskier plays: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/nu-218766487

Hey fren, building with nasty pass Togetic was a blast. I obviously started the team with the based god. I made it defensive as it allowed me free switch ins whenever my opponent brought in a fighting type or the ever so common Malamar. It can also come in on grass types and defensive mons in general because of its unique typing. Next on the squad is Seismitoad. I added toad because it handles poison and steel types which would otherwise give Togetic a hard time. Offensive toad is amazing. It hits so hard even without boosts. Toad also gives me stealth rock which is nice. Next on the team is AV Magmortar. This mon handles fire spam which is very nice. It also 6-0's stall if you pass it a nasty plot. Next on the team is Sneasel. I added Sneasel in order to beat fat psychic types as well as weaken grass types for Lilligant. It also is incredibly useful if Togetic goes down early. Next I wanted to punish physical attackers like Kangaskan as well as get up t-spikes in order to aid the calm mind bp sweep. Garbodor has explosion as well to stop defog and spin :). Lastly we have a scarf Lilligant. This mon is fantastic because of own tempo petal dance. Healing wish is also a nice niche Lilligant has. Hope the team looks fun. It was certainly fun to build.

Since nobody is building anything for this anymore, I built the Rotom-S + Scyther team for DK Firelord because it sounded fun.

Scyther and Rotom-S are both really good, and they can volt and turn and shit, so I built with that in mind. Mega Camerupt is absurdly strong, but it can be difficult to bring it in safely because although it has good bulk, it's slow and can be taken advantage of. Scyther lures in bulky Steel- and Poison-types, which Camerupt feeds on. Rotom-S mostly lures in Ground-types, but with Hidden Power Water, it can beat most of them. It can also lure in other Electric-types, which, again, Mega Camerupt can take advantage of. Prinplup is there for Defog support, which is essential with both Scyther and Rotom-S, which like to come in frequently. Klinklang offers a Normal resist and a win condition against more defensive teams. Cacturne offers a second Water resist, priority, and Spikes support, which is nice for VoltTurn teams.

EVs on Prinplup always survive two Specs Eruptions from Typhlosion after Stealth Rock. Speed on Mega Camerupt creeps base 40s (Rhydon mostly). Speed on Klinklang outruns Scarf Typhlosion after a boost, and the Speed on Cacturne outruns Adamant Mawile, with the rest thrown in Attack to power up Sucker Punch. Outspeeding Mawile will rarely be relevant, but at least you have the faster Sucker Punch and can get off ~60-70% with Life Orb Dark Pulse.
