Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I played VGC, so I thought that I might try my hand at Series 9! Let's get to the team: At a Glance It's quite a balanced team, centered around the classic Heatran+Cresselia duo. I'm quite unfamiliar with the current VGC metagame, so I've decided to...

"The Homecoming" by Arnold Böcklin It's been nearly 5 years since I've played VGC properly (the last time being in the 2016 format!), so now that I've actually bought a Nintendo Switch, I felt that it was a good opportunity for me to jump into the new format! I'm new to Gen 8, as I've only just...

Testing the Waters ~A Return to VGC~ Hey everyone! It's been such a long time since I last played Pokemon, or VGC for that matter, so I thought I'd have a go at seeing what sort of team I can make in this new format. Since legendaries are back, it seemed right to return to VGC this year given...

Hey Smogon, Draconid here, with what looks like one of the last of my RMTs for this year's VGC season. Since my last RMT, I have set up a poll asking for opinions on "what archetype you would like to see me build around next", and 10 users selected the mewtwo+primal groudon archetype (calling...

Introduction Hey Smogon! I'm back with a new team of mine that sort of bounces off a previous teambuilding attempt, which focused on building around the Yveltal + Groudon core, which you can take a look at here. This takes advantage of Yveltal’s awesome matchup against many of the restricted...

Credit to shadeofshinon for the art Hey it's me Draconid, back with a retrospective RMT on the first ever VGC '16 team that I built, which I thought would be cool to look at, now that the 2016 meta has progressed passed mid-season, and since worlds is coming up pretty soon (2 months next...

Inspired by the Doubles OU Roles Compendium, approved by Ksh13 This compendium will contain typical roles that should be filled by any successful VGC team, which I thought should be useful if you're using the frameworks thread to build teams or just stuck with ideas for roles on your own teams...

Improved Team: http://pastebin.com/Jjm4x52u Hey it's Draconid here, back with my latest team! For this RMT, I wanted to build around something that perhaps hasn't got as much attention as RayOgre, Big 6 or Double Primal: The Yveltal/Primal Groudon archetype. After messing about with the double...

Welcome to the VGC 2016 Teambuilding Workshop! This is a thread for users to receive advice from fellow VGC '16 players to help you finish off any of your uncompleted teams. If you want to know how to build around a certain pokemon or core, need sample sets, or just need advice for selecting...

Hey it's Draconid here back for another RMT This time i thought i might bring some reinforcements, so with the help of iPRODiGY VGC and GradeAGarchomp, we've each built 3 sweet vgc 16 teams for your viewing and rating pleasure, with the likes of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina Let's get to it...

(credit to the respective artists for their amazing artwork i used for this banner) Introduction Hey all, it’s Draconid with a new RMT :D This is my 300th post here on smogon, and by complete coincidence, my 200th post on the other teams RMT forum, so i hope you enjoy. If you don’t know me, I...

Hey its Draconid here with another RMT :D This is my way of saying thanks for my shiny new Rater Badge, so i hope you enjoy (This was also going to be saved for my 300th post but nah) So I thought i might incorporate gengar-crobat into the newly forming dialga-kyogre archetype after all the...

approved by Ksh13 and lucariojr inspired by Doubles OU Framework thread If you’re new to VGC 2016 or are just stuck for ideas on how to teambuild in this new format, you can check out this thread for how successful teams have been built. Please feel free to contribute to this thread if you have...

It's been a while since i last posted an RMT on smogon, so i thought i might make one after experimenting on battle spot. One thing i noticed about a lot of battle spot teams is that they were all very prepared for xerneas, with tonnes of taunt, fake out and primal groudon on pretty much every...

Updated Team Woop woop now people are using dialga kyogre cores XD So this is what i should probably do to the team to bring it up to scratch: I don't want this team to be focused on setting up TR any longer (a bit like Wolfe Glick's team) since there are still a lot more options that i...

UPDATED TEAM AT BOTTOM OF POST [Original RMT] If you have read my RMT xerneas rampage, then you will know how much of a fan i am of the doubles ubers metagame, and now that legendaries are allowed into vgc, i thought i might have a stab at creating what i feel might be the new CHALK-like vgc...

This has got to be one of my favourite doubles teams to use, both competitively and for fun. Please feel free to use this team on Showdown/Battle Spot etc. I want to share the ideas within the team for anyone to take and use with their own spin on it, so if anybody has any suggestions for...

Have a listen to this if you like whilst you're reading (if you like a bit of jazz :] ) At A Glance: This is a pretty standard looking VGC team i've been thinking of running on the battle spot doubles ladder on my Alpha Sapphire cartridge. The Kangaskhan/Azumarill combo is one of my...

I have never laddered before on Doubles OU, so this team is heavily based on previous VGC knowledge/EV spread alterations along with inspiration from other player's teams to cope with the metagame shift. The team was created as my spin on the mega metagross 'formula' from the incredibly useful...

This team was created back in the early days of X and Y, when i wanted to test out the powerhouse that is xerneas. It was, and still is one of my favourite teams to use so i have managed to reproduce it on my Pokemon Y cartridge. Unfortunately, in the current Doubles Ubers meta, mega rayquaza...
