haha okay. offensive build ofc. toxic m-lop lures azu and slowbro which are huge issues for the team. shuca instead of air balloon tran because serp pops balloon on the switch in and hp ground volc/serp are both huge issues, better to lure them with shuca. EV spread outruns rotom-w or something. double dance lando-t to add offensive presence alongside dd feraligatr. scarf latias for speed control and break stall with trick, healing wish gives one of the three physical sweepers another lease of life. counter skarm because azumarill. given offensive nature of team and no weak to hazards i went with spikes over defog. things like ferro are annoying, but easy enough to play around. put lots of offensive pressure.

This is a balanced/offensive team I made long time ago and just for fun around Feraligatr and Mega Pidgeot. Standard Feraligatr with Superpower because Ferro is a bit annoying, only Heatran can switch in but Pidgeot can kill it easily. Pidgeot weakens Rotom-W with Hurricane (confuse) and U-Turn to Clefable or Latios who are safe switch ins. Tbolt on Latios for Skarmory, who can take a +1 hit from Feraligatr and whirlwind out. Hippo stops Lopunny, (non-gk) Metagross and electric types who can be a threat to Pidgeot and Gatr. Heatran is my grass type switch in (Venu, Serperior, Ferro) and the scarf of the team because it's a bit slow despite having a twave user. Sorry about my english jaja.

At the Microscope

This is a very funny team based on the core Feraligatr+Altaria, this is a nice core which can hit hard very much 'Mons and not be breaked by Stalls Status Based, at the first I put Landorus-T, 'cause you can't play Offensive Teams without Garchomp or Landorus, it's my SR Setter and with U-Turn it opens some ways for my first Core. Next, I put Choice Scarf Excadril 'cuz is a very nice spinner-sweeper on core with Landorus.
At the fifth slot I put Heatran, 'cause I was walled by some Steels (Ferrothorn, Skarmory..) and with its set I can bait Water Types, check Rocks, Electrics, Fairies and stallbreak. This is the greatest set of Heatran of this Metagame, it can do all. At last, I choose Keldeo Restalker for check out the latest things that put me in difficulty (d a r k s).
Now the team is complete! As you see, it put a lot of pressure!^^

Explanation

Standart DD Feraligatr. I started with a double CM blob core because easily absorbs status from Mega Sableye / Rotom-W. Clefable Knock Off is awesome against Stall, removes Leftovers from Heatran, Talonflame and others. Chansey without Eviolite is 2HKO against +6 Moonblast.
Reuniclus is my answer against Mega Medicham and Mega Venusaur, Infestation helps to setup or switch freely.
Landorus-T is the sand check, Rocks and momentum, Ground immunity.
Mega Manectric completes the Intimidate-volt-turn-core, outspeed Manaphy, Weavile and others.
Finally, Heatran is my response to Charizard Y and Talonflame, Stone Edge is a good lure, 48 speed EVs to outspeed Mega Venusaur and Mandibuzz. Fairy check.
No Defog / Rapid spin because the team does not suffer much from entry hazards.

setup spam rocks. This was an Hyper Offense I made around the time when everyone was hating on Offensive Mega Scizor. I personally believe that Hyper Offense is the way to go with DD Feraligatr since it things just drop like flies after it boosts and it isn't to hard to supplement it. Mega Scizor and Gatr was the starting core and it was obvious they simply lost to quite a few things, especially Water-types and Mega Venusaur which was annoying. So next came NP + Twave Thundurus packing Hidden Power [Fly] to lure Mega Venusaur and other Grasses like Tangrowth. I didn't want to rely too much on TWave for raw speed and sand just lol'd at my team so I added CM + BP Celebi and Scarf Heatran with the strategy in mind of passing a few CM boosts to it and clean up late game with it if nothing else could secure one. I went with Hidden Power [Rock] since I didn't want to lock myself into a move that didn't take advantage of Calm Mind boosts.Finally I lacked Stealth Rock so I added LO + SD Garchomp since it's jesus maintain the "momentum" piece and breaks early game alongside Feraligatr or Thundurus to have a smoother endgame.

Another option I've experimented with was Healing Wish over Calm Mind on Celebi since this is the sort of team that'd immensely appreciate that support.

Wouldn't ancient power on heatran be a better choice?
Whatever,a great team.

​

I didn't understand whether dd gatr was mandatory or not, so i put it regardless. Considering I had to start from the dd set, I decided to build a double Dragon Dance team. Therefore i inserted the rare Mega Latios in tandem with Feraligatr. I added the former because I got reminded to the old bw times in which I used dragon dance Latios. These two Pokemon share some counters such as Skarmory, Ferrothorn and Scizor, so I opted for Magnezone so as to trapkill them. Moreover, it helps gain momentum for the team. In the fourth slot, I added Clefable, as it has great synergy with Latios and Magnezone and, most importantly, because it benefits from Magnezone's trapping ability and Latios' lure ability. I preferred a Special Defense variant, as it allowed me to deal with thundurus, raikou, manectric-mega, and manaphy. I really love Hippowdon, because it's the only member that allows me to deal with Charizard X. Additionally, I put Lum Berry over Leftovers to deal with stallbreaker talonflame which could be a serious threat to the team. Finally, I put Skarmory as my last slot so that I can break through Amoonguss, Mega Venusaur, Clefable, and Spikes users. It helps against the likes of Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie, which are both annoying for the rest of the team

Amferocious​

I decided to build a team around an SD variant of Feraligatr. Everyone knows that to bring the best out of a wallbreaker they need free switch-ins so I opted for a Volt-Turn core to compliment Feraligatr. Due to it's pure water typing it is only weak to Grass and Electric. With this in mind I decided to add Ampharos due to it's x4 resistance to Electric and x2 resistance to Grass. It can be used to give Feraligatr free switch-ins and switch-in to things that scare Gatr out. Rest-Talk gives it longetivity. I don't feel like auto-losing to Serperior I added the most inconsistent check to Grass-types ever. I opted for LO Hurrimiss, Knock Off, U-Turn, and HP Steel to lure in Diancie which can be difficult for my team to face. Heatran for rocks and functioned as Fairy/Dragon switchin. Also helped vs. Scizor and Ferrothorn (Enough speed for Offensive SD). I finished the team off with SD Salac Chomp and CM Clefable because I wanted two strong win-cons. Garchomp helps break heatrans and mags for Clefable while Heatran breaks Ferro and Scizor. SD Salac Chomp is really unprepared for and functioned as a win-con for the team. Overall a pretty offensive team. Feraligatr is used to maybe get a kill a game and wallbreak vs. fat teams. Ampharos and Tornadus for momentum. Heatran for rocks and switch-in into things. Chomp and Clefable as win-cons. Idk whatdoyathink

I saw potential in Feraligatr before with DD, but I think SD can be really strong vs. fat stuff. Sadly Feraligatr suffers from 4MSS :(

Description

Standard feraligatr set.Ice Punch hits Grass- and Dragon-types like Serperior, Amoonguss, Mega Altaria, and notably bulky Garchomp. Crunch hits Psychic-types like Mew and Slowbro while sharing coverage with Ice Punch on Latios, Latias, and Celebi.Added Raikou threatens Pokemon that check feraligatr(mainly Azumarill,skarmory,keldeo etc),in turn feraligatr kills ground types.It also helps against opposing manectric and Thundurus.It also gives me a wincon and provides volt-switch support so that feraligatr can come in safely.Hippowdon sets up Stealth Rock and wear down opposing fast offensive threats such as Mega Lopunny and Talonflame. Hippowdon in particular checks opposing Electric-types bar Rotom-W very well.Spike setters such as Klefki work well with Feraligatr because the entry hazard wears down opposing checks through repeated switches in, making a sweep easier.Klefki can help to check Latios and provide speed control with Thunder Wave.Tornadus-T can threaten all Grass-types with its STAB moves and bulky Steel-types such as Skarmory, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn with Fire-type coverage.Altaria gives yet another win con,and also lures scizor and ferrothorn with fire blast.

Description

This is a very funny team based on the core Feraligatr+Altaria, this is a nice core which can hit hard very much 'Mons and not be breaked by Stalls Status Based, at the first I put Landorus-T, 'cause you can't play Offensive Teams without Garchomp or Landorus, it's my SR Setter and with U-Turn it opens some ways for my first Core. Next, I put Choice Scarf Excadril 'cuz is a very nice spinner-sweeper on core with Landorus.
At the fifth slot I put Heatran, 'cause I was walled by some Steels (Ferrothorn, Skarmory..) and with its set I can bait Water Types, check Rocks, Electrics, Fairies and stallbreak. This is the greatest set of Heatran of this Metagame, it can do all. At last, I choose Keldeo Restalker for check out the latest things that put me in difficulty (d a r k s).
Now the team is complete! As you see, it put a lot of pressure!^^

Explanation

Standart DD Feraligatr. I started with a double CM blob core because easily absorbs status from Mega Sableye / Rotom-W. Clefable Knock Off is awesome against Stall, removes Leftovers from Heatran, Talonflame and others. Chansey without Eviolite is 2HKO against +6 Moonblast.
Reuniclus is my answer against Mega Medicham and Mega Venusaur, Infestation helps to setup or switch freely.
Landorus-T is the sand check, Rocks and momentum, Ground immunity.
Mega Manectric completes the Intimidate-volt-turn-core, outspeed Manaphy, Weavile and others.
Finally, Heatran is my response to Charizard Y and Talonflame, Stone Edge is a good lure, 48 speed EVs to outspeed Mega Venusaur and Mandibuzz. Fairy check.
No Defog / Rapid spin because the team does not suffer much from entry hazards.

Description

I didn't understand whether dd gatr was mandatory or not, so i put it regardless. Considering I had to start from the dd set, I decided to build a double Dragon Dance team. Therefore i inserted the rare Mega Latios in tandem with Feraligatr. I added the former because I got reminded to the old bw times in which I used dragon dance Latios. These two Pokemon share some counters such as Skarmory, Ferrothorn and Scizor, so I opted for Magnezone so as to trapkill them. Moreover, it helps gain momentum for the team. In the fourth slot, I added Clefable, as it has great synergy with Latios and Magnezone and, most importantly, because it benefits from Magnezone's trapping ability and Latios' lure ability. I preferred a Special Defense variant, as it allowed me to deal with thundurus, raikou, manectric-mega, and manaphy. I really love Hippowdon, because it's the only member that allows me to deal with Charizard X. Additionally, I put Lum Berry over Leftovers to deal with stallbreaker talonflame which could be a serious threat to the team. Finally, I put Skarmory as my last slot so that I can break through Amoonguss, Mega Venusaur, Clefable, and Spikes users. It helps against the likes of Mega Gardevoir and Mega Diancie, which are both annoying for the rest of the team.

Description

I decided to build a team around an SD variant of Feraligatr. Everyone knows that to bring the best out of a wallbreaker they need free switch-ins so I opted for a Volt-Turn core to compliment Feraligatr. Due to it's pure water typing it is only weak to Grass and Electric. With this in mind I decided to add Ampharos due to it's x4 resistance to Electric and x2 resistance to Grass. It can be used to give Feraligatr free switch-ins and switch-in to things that scare Gatr out. Rest-Talk gives it longetivity. I don't feel like auto-losing to Serperior I added the most inconsistent check to Grass-types ever. I opted for LO Hurrimiss, Knock Off, U-Turn, and HP Steel to lure in Diancie which can be difficult for my team to face. Heatran for rocks and functioned as Fairy/Dragon switchin. Also helped vs. Scizor and Ferrothorn (Enough speed for Offensive SD). I finished the team off with SD Salac Chomp and CM Clefable because I wanted two strong win-cons. Garchomp helps break heatrans and mags for Clefable while Heatran breaks Ferro and Scizor. SD Salac Chomp is really unprepared for and functioned as a win-con for the team. Overall a pretty offensive team. Feraligatr is used to maybe get a kill a game and wallbreak vs. fat teams. Ampharos and Tornadus for momentum. Heatran for rocks and switch-in into things. Chomp and Clefable as win-cons. Idk whatdoyathink

I saw potential in Feraligatr before with DD, but I think SD can be really strong vs. fat stuff. Sadly Feraligatr suffers from 4MSS :(

Voting ends on Friday around 10:00 pm GMT -5. May the best one win.​

Team 4 by Seirle has won this round. Congratulations! Will be added to the hall of fame shortly.

Alright, guess it is time to move on to the next round right now as we speak:

ROUND 32:

+

​

Here is a defensive core so people dont think Im strictly biased with just offensive cores :V Slowbro + Mandibuzz are a really solid defensive cushion against a multitude of stuff. Slowbro handle mons like keldeo, terrakion, mega metagross and fighting types mandibuzz simply cant handle, while mandibuzz helps with stronger psychic types like latios, mega alakazam and punishing mega scizor and bisharp if they dare to setup. Mandibuzz also helps with hoopa-U a lot! (Dont care about the suspect, until the results are on, one should considering hoopa). As always, the option of using Mega Slowbro is present.

Good luck to everyone in this round! Cheers!

Wow, looking at it, this team's looking like it came straight out of XY lol (Crystalised, anyone?) But this team was based on the defensive core of VenuBroTran, a really effective defensive core. Venusaur is there to wall key threats such as Azumarill, Keldeo, along with other pokemon due to its great bulk. Heatran is the stallbreaker variant to help with other defensive teams. Defensive Slowbro is here to spread paralysis and burns in order for the other members of the team to function better with certain threats neutralized. And of course Mandibuzz for its great bulk and ability to deal with annoying setup sweepers with Foul Play. And rounding off the team is Band Terrakion, which is here to blow holes in opposing teams early game in order to help weaken threats for the rest of the team. Finally SubCM Raikou is the team's main wincon, helpful for beating other mons like CM Bro, who could otherwise easily set up on this team.

EDIT: Adding replays!!

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-354298360 - This team is REALLY weak to Kyurem, as basically my only check is Terrakion, but here I was able to get around that, and this replay mainly shows off how insane Band Terrakion is (admittedly, his team really didn't have any switchins for the thing)

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-354300406 - Venusaur is fat. That is all. (Also another replay against a team with a Kyurem)
