    • I'm going to go ahead and vote for Yoshikko. His team has a really good core in Jirachi, Talonflame, Sableye and Clef. Could use better EV spreads, though. (I guess my implementation of Kyurem-B on semi-stall was really bad.)

    Also, what about MMeta?

    probably a water type like starmie to go along with that starm/talon/sab/clef framework; the team is kind of weak to keldeo. i'd also maybe limit it to one fire type but i think the team has potential

    Hmm, I was planning to tally up the votes and decide the winner, but King Syn and Yoshikko are tied. I'll decide who wins tomorrow when I'm not so tired. Possibly with Dark Azelf since Anti is currently away.

    edit: Ahh I need to decide on a core brb.

    • I have seen very less teams built around m-garde and metagross.If you like you can set them as the next polls two pokemon.I am saying this because I have seen only 1/2 people with both on their teams(Lol.I might be wrong.But still)

    I'm really sorry for holding this out for so long. It won't happen again. I'm going to give the win to King Syn's team for reasons stated before. Yoshikko's team has problems with Keldeo's Scald spam. Though, Mega Diancie tears into Syn's team really easily. It also gets free switch-ins from Latios. However, Keldeo is a more relevant threat and all teams should have a reliable way of dealing with it.

    There were requests for a core that doesn't include a Mega. However, I might consider going with Mega Gardevoir and Metagross in the future.

    THE NEXT CORE IS...

    DUAL GENIES. No Therian formes. Have fun pummeling your opponents to death, folks.

    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.

    Spoiler:


    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 lati@s.

    TIME TO VOTE. Just like before:

    Simply post the username of your preferred winner, along with a reason why (optional). Also please read the criteria:

    When voting, consider the criteria that the panel will be using: viability (is the team good?), creativity (does it stray from standard builds?), and synergy (is there evidence of thoughtful team building?).

    Good luck!
