Hmmm this will be a struggle for me ill have to go more offensively than ive ever done.

4 walls and 2 genies sounds good to me.

Suppose I'll post a team for this one....

Spoiler: Importable+Terrible reasoning

Thundurus (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 76 Atk / 180 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Superpower
- Knock Off
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Usually when they're used by themselves the genies run a specially based set but when you run both on the same team it's kinda pointless to do that, so I made Thundurus a mixed attacker. While you lose Prankster it's still got pretty good speed and can lure in and destroy Chansey which is nice. Defiant's good when there's plenty of Intimidate and Defog in OU.

Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Play Rough
- Knock Off
- Superpower

Since both genies are Ice weak its kinda mandatory to run something that resists Ice, and Azumarill does that while also resisting other stuff (especially Water and Dragon) and bringing priority as well. Choice Band for greater power without needing to set up Belly Drum.

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 192 SpD / 68 Spe
Calm Nature
- Lava Plume
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Toxic

Heatran absorbs WoW and Toxic nicely and sets up much needed rocks for the team. Adds and additional Ice resist while also resisting Grass and Fairy 4x, and since half the team is Ground immune that's nice. Though despite that I'm thinking about whether or not I should give it a Balloon and/or do a more offensive rocks set.

Landorus (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Focus Blast
- Calm Mind
- Psychic

Had Lando do it's usual CM role, which works nicely. The Sp.Def boost CM gives is nice, and Lando provides an Electric immunity to boot. Hard to choose between Psychic and Sludge Wave though....

Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Defog
- Hidden Power [Fire]

This thing is stupidly common but I needed a Defogger and couldn't really think of anything else that would fit since most of the other spinners/defoggers would just stack weaknesses, although Latios is Ice weak too. But at least there's the 3rd Ground immunity and it can lure in and destroy Scizor/Ferrothorn with HP Fire. Also completes a little Dragon/Fairy/Steel core with Azu+Tran.

Lopunny (F) @ Lopunnite
Ability: Limber
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Return
- Ice Punch
- Fake Out

Usually at the end of team building I start running out of ideas but since there's no mandatory mega this time I can use whatever mega I want so I went with Mega Lopunny. I think it provides some offensive coverage I needed.....

Most of 'em run Healing Wish but I was like eh fuck that let's use Fake Out to safely mega evolve and get free damage whenever it switches in.

thundurus and landorus form an excellent attacking core: thundurus can stop late-game sweeps and clean-ups as well as 2hko chansey and ttar. lando has the ability to sweep offense teams at late-game. latias checks keldeo and provides healing wish support. m-blastoise is a rapid spinner that can easily threaten ferro and mega scizor and get superb coverage in three moves. tran sets up rocks and acts as a great stallbreaker. bisharp pressures defog and is the team's check to [email protected]

Description
Spoiler:
The core given was dual genies, for me it is way more offensive than what I am used to so I went ahead and made what I think is a HO team. I didnt want to use cm land because it is pretty easy for it to get rk'd so i went with a full out attacking set since it p much threats most common stuff in ou rn like gliscor/lando/ferrothorn/clef etc. I do miss psychic but i think the current move set is the most versatile it can get. Since this was a more offensive team i thought about having a mechanism that would allow me to get in stuff easily to start bombing the opponent and band scizor does this just fine alongside thundurus. Band Scizor is also p good rn since bullet punch hits really hard against common stuff like lando t or even mega loppunny which if i am not mistaken is or was for some reason s ranked ( -1 band scizor does around 40 to lando t while it does around 70 to lop) . next i added something for latis since i was p weak to them esp if the hidden fire sets ( they are pretty much present on every team hard to ignore etc) and also priority ice or in general ice attacks. so i added in azumaril. I tried banded azu but i think ass vest is overall better for this since i really like picking off weakened threats with aqua jet after having smashed it while the opponent switches something in with a more powerful stab. I realised i needed some kind of win-con that could set up late game, i needed something really solid that could take out a large portion of the meta game and mega zard x popped into my mind. I went with the bulky dragon dance set sine it is easier to set up on stuff. In the end i added latias to really complete the team, since i am p stealth rock and opposing mega zard's weak. I don't have a stealth rock user so I slashed it with lando. I know rocks are what every team should have etc but eh.

changes in bold.

Talonflame is the mid-game sweeper of the team, as well as a great lure to Rotom-W and Mega Gyarados, which otherwise are huge threats to this team.

Kind of a different take with a bulky team, Garchomp plus the FWG defensive core is there to take on a lot of the metagame. Slowbro was the first added since the core we were given doesn't like switching into Keldeo and is outright beaten by Charizard-X at +1. From there Tangrowth and Heatran were added to check other big threats in the game like Clefable, Gyarados, Bisharp, etc. Heatran is also nice for potentially allowing me to chip Rotom-W with burn or toxic so that Pidgeot can do more damage, same with Slowbro. I chose the Work Up set on Pidgeot, with enough speed for Tornadus-T as it's a cool balance breaker right now. CM Landorus was added as the teams final member and stallbreaker, it acts as an auxiliary to Pidgeot by weakening Rotom-W and taking advantage of Pokemon like Tyranitar that Pidgeot can't beat.

Team building process-
Spoiler:

The given core was Garchomp and Mega Pidgeot, and although it hints towards a hyper offense style, I went for a balanced (I am not sure) team. I knew Mega Pidgeot runs U-turn most of the time and I wanted to abuse this a bit by forming a volt turn core in the team. I didn't use Scizor because then I get walled by Mega Pidgeots most famous counter in Heatran, and I anyway wanted to use Jirachi to stop fairies from tearing away at me. so I went with Rotom-Wash and Jirachi since I always kind of struggle with talon, and it gives me momentum in volt switch. the EV's on Rotom ensure I don't get 5hko'd by Talon ( this was so that I can be sure I can take SD variants which have set up as well) while giving it a bit of special bulk. Chomp's ev's may seem weird but it allows me to out speed max speed which have a base speed of 77 or less (lol heatran), and the SpDef investment allow me to survive 2 fire blast's from mega zard y to phaze it out and get more rocks damage. mew is my stall breaker and can also act as a hazard remover ( but I don't use defog much so I slashed it in). and finally to cover and finish my team i added hippo that helps me against things like megazard x etc.

wow, shout-outs to mega pidgeot. some call him bird Jesus, but i think most of u know him as ur worst nightmare. bow down to the lord himself, for only one mega pokemon is worthy of our lord and savior's name, and here he is in all his glory. just click hurricane the rest doesn't matter. i would have gone with work up or something but hey, i just took this straight out of the mega pidgeot all-stars. have you ever heard the saying "if it aint broke don't fix it"? bingo welcome to this pidgeot set. i even have uturn for #momentum even though hurricane is all the momentum you need, especially when you bs through someone with the confusion chance LOL. truly a legend pokemon, few trainers exhibit the mastery needed to click its stab move and bulldoze through the various hyper offense builds on our server that don't prep for it despite its majesty. i love you mega pidgeot, even more thank drunk gloom.

decided to go really aggressive with the chomp to get some early damage. it blows the doors down on clefable:

252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 160 Def Clefable: 226-266 (57.3 - 67.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

i've had trouble with the last moveslot. swords dance puts a ton of pressure on the opponent and can break down defensive cores (a lot of slow builds built around stopping stuff like m-meta aren't super well equipped to take lo sd boosted stab attacks) but fire blast has more utility against hazard-setting steel-types and chesnaught. without spin/defog support, i opted for the latter.

simply amazing offensive synergy with pidgeot, even though it opens up the manectric weakness a bit. tyranitar and heatran want nothing to do with this thing and it can easily weaken rotom-w into pidgeot kill range. it also puts pressure on chansey. i can't say i'm thrilled that this is my main stall breaker but hey, with bisharp and chomp/pidg it can tag-team some stuff. went for specs because the immediate power is rly nice and having used submind a lot, i feel like the metagame has adapted to it pretty well and its inability to hit hard until boosted can make it a liability in certain match-ups. :/

idk wtf this is tbh but i use clef on like, all of my teams lol. i opted for a bit of a glue build here where it acts as a decent stop to physical attackers. was insanely talon weak and this lures it well, though tbolt's utility is pretty barren outside of that. status absorption is rly nice and can at least absorb non choice locked volt switches without dying in three seconds. :(

eh these last two slots suck and i'll change them if i have time, but i noticed weaknesses to diancie/m-bro/manaphy (really the usual suspects for the types of teams i like running) and also needed another ground immune/resist so i tossed this guy on. thunder wave is as an emergency stop against a few things i'm pretty poorly prepared for (can maim a torn-t or m-meta or w/e) though idk i might go with a nastypass since keld and pidg would love that!

mostly just here to provide added offensive pressure vs. stall/semistall while acting as further protection from the latis. also checks clefable who i am pretty weak to haha. i'll make these last couple slots more efficient if i don't run out of time.

____________________________________

but let's be real. you're not here to see some bulky offense squad i threw together. i have better entries for this competition.

for the uu ladder race, i made some insanely stall weak voltturn (literally no wallbreakers LOL) that went 15-0 before i stopped playing since i had locked up the #1 seed. (btw will get around to my match vs. elf in that eventually LOL #kingjohn) anyway, once raikou and jirachi rose to ou i needed a new squad. turns out this is a terrible uu team but it has revolutionized the ou metagame with innovations like "anti as its user" and "mega pidgeot." so BEHOLD THE MEGA PIDGEOT ALL-STARS:

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ou-154779: pidgeot gets 5 kills man what a legend
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ou-147996: a rare defeat and some possible chokin' down the stretch but yolo. even the great d_a is pushed to the brink
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-ou-145879: ROFL

wow, i am but a mere peasant compared to m-pidg ^_^


SO, i enter all three teams into this competition. while the final two are ineligible, i hope you consider their impact on the metagame and admire their presence and their creator.

furthermore, consider this post a FINAL TEAM RETIREMENT of the mega pidgeot allstars, both v1 and v2. they have served me well, and they shall be missed. may pidgeot rest in peace...

...until, like Jesus/a pheonix rising from its own ashes, it comes again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and its kingdom shall have no end.
