Hello and welcome to the second edition of the NU Teambuilding Competition! The goal of this project is to observe and better understand how experienced NU players go about building their teams around a particular core. It's also a great way to improve and refine your own teambuilding skills, or just simply learn how others do it! Anyone is free to participate and I encourage as much discussion as possible; however, I'd like to point out that you do not have to post a team to contribute to this thread. Feedback is allowed and actually preferred in this thread, so if you have comments or concerns about someone's team, don't be afraid to post it! The process is as follows:
Each round, I will choose a core of two Pokemon (or only one Pokemon sometimes). It is then up to you to build a team around it, designing sets, teammates, roles, and everything in between. Identifying weaknesses, strategies, and so forth are key parts of teambuilding and I'm quite interested to see how that carries through in this thread. I also hope to emphasize a lot of creativity with this as well—new gems and underrated Pokemon and cores are popping up all the time, and hopefully this thread can bring about a lot of new discoveries about the metagame! After the submission period is over (which will be about a week) I will announce the winner who may or may not be chosen by me. The team(s) that is selected winner will be put into a Hall of Fame I will be posting below, and the process will start again with a new core.
In case you decided not to read those two paragraphs, the submission process will last 1 Week. I would like to keep this thread moving; however, this is subject to change if people feel like they're being rushed.

Ground Rules:
- Your post should not offend my sense of aesthetics and/or morals. Keep insane sprites to a minimum (please no anime clips of mons, basically) and nothing too huge. However, a few sprites of the team members would be helpful as a sort of overview, but it isn't 100% required ('-'). Overall, use common sense.
- When posting a submission, keep both your team and your description in hide tags to minimize the amount of scrolling needed to get through a page. Nobody wants carpel tunnel due to your laziness.
- Make sure you have a description of how the team works. We want to understand your though process through the creation of the team. It's fine and dandy if you spend an hour making your team, testing, reworking, and post it, but we don't need to spend the same amount of time figuring out how your team works.
- Follow Wheaton's Law. This basically means don't insult other people if you think their team/certain set on their team are suboptimal. Instead, politely point it out like a civilized person so we can all be a bit happier. If you disagree with someone, discussion is encouraged.
- Finally, be creative! Use unconventional mons and/or sets if you think they work the best for your team (please no outright memes though.) In other words, make cool teams!
