Introduction
The purpose of this thread is for us to create a team as a community with suggesting, discussing, nominating and voting to take place. The result will be a team that we can use to efficiently ladder with on PS!. The team will be showcased ingame as well in the form of live streamed viewer battles on my Twitch channel . Hopefully we can all learn and benefit from the experience of team-building but the end result is about battling online and trying to get the win. But even if we lose often this can be a positive experience and we can come out better for it.

- Respect the deadlines put in place.
- All other sections rules apply. VGC Subforum mods are free to intervene where they feel necessary.
I believe that our team is lacking proper checks for Smeargle as of now, so I am suggesting Mega Kangaskhan:
Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
Level: 50
Happiness: 0
EVs: 36 HP / 140 Atk / 76 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Frustration
- Power-Up Punch
- Sucker Punch
Not only does it provide us with a much needed Fake Out, it’s also an incredible threat by itself thanks to Power-Up Punch. Frustration over Double-Edge so our defensive EV spread is not wasted, and max speed ensures that we at least speed tie with any other Mega Kangaskhan.
With 36 HP / 76 Def our Kangaskhan will be able to survive a Low Kick from opposing, Jolly Mega Kangaskhan 100% of the time. The rest of the EVs are put into Atk to maximize damage output.

Here is an example of a terrible nomination post
Talonflame @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Gale Wings
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 108 Atk / 76 Def / 20 SpD / 52 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Taunt
- Tailwind
- Will-O-Wisp
Wins games, destroys worlds. Takes return from kangaskahn. Burns things. xD
