My first submission for the PU Teambuilding Competition seems like a fun one - Mono Ice!
- Functions as the main Snow setter, EV'd to outspeed up to max speed Modest 
. Aurora Veil can be tricky to setup for this team but could also enable one of the following mons to get rolling.
- One of the best Quiver Dance users in my opinion with access to Ice Scales, making it quite difficult to kill in Snow even before boosting. I opted for a Giga Drain set over the usual Tera Ground Tera Blast, though either works fine for me here.
- Unfortunately, not a single Ice type outside of Ubers learns Trick Room... but this mon is still incredibly reliable as a breaker regardless. I run enough speed to outrun non-invested base 65's.
- The teams rocks setter and second Snow setter. Thick Fat makes this the teams best switch into opposing 
, although you'll struggle with these regardless without the veil set. I run enough speed to outrun non-invested base 60's here.
- Speed Control on a team like this often relies on something like Slush Rush 
, though this is a great 
mon to have at your disposal. I like to run Scarf Trick with Nasty Plot and STAB's to force progress into fatter teams.
- Speaking of Slush Rush, this is our spinner and Knock Off user. EV'd to outrun Timid 
in Snow while hitting everything hard with EQ/Knock/Ice Spinner (Icicle Crash is a little risky in terms of accuracy here).

runs the ever reliable SF LifeOrb set inorder to act as a devastating breaker and cleaner in most games, with moves such as Fire blast to handle orthworm, do note this tauros is naive inorder to obtain a good role into orthworm while keeping its 350 speed benchmark.
this set features curse aswell as rest chestoberry to give snorlax maximum opportunities to set up, for attacking moves I opted for body slam/heat crash although I believe double edge can still work.
, this set is a little odd as it's a special variant not packing calm mind, instead the mon is intended to function as a rock setter
isn't my most creative set, as a physdef leaning nasty plot OTR set, it plays abt how you'd expect it to.
occupying a much needed but heavily debated slot on this team, it is my speed control, running a choice scarf and dual stabs in Brave bird,Body slam or double edge if you like the risk reward of it, low kick for mons like regirock and orthworm and throat chop as a solid no recoil option to revenge ghost scarfers like hoopa,mismagius as well as catch them upon switch in.
who runs a bulky leech seed set to make progress into just about anything
- The blind swordsman - because 
- BombVoyage - IT GETS STEALTH ROCK... and knock off. and uturn. wow much utility.
- NamelessKing because it feels like the hardest boss fight in the world when I have to face it. Agility because the team is slowwww and i've found tons of setup opportunities with tera fire and forced switches. You could run a boosting item if you want, but sheer force hdb hits plenty hard in my experience.
- Cramorant - because it's ability is broken and it resists or holds up to a few special attackers and no other mon I could find was doing as much. Tried defog but found endure more fun.
- VornadoSponsorMe - "/ds trick, flying type, pu: No Pokémon found." - Here's a way to punish setup. We were getting ransacked without it. Also I now love this mon because of my experience with this team.
- Moltres-Alola - enough speed to outrun base 80's - a few of which commonly run scarf, so are outrun after a qd. Tera ground because I HATE LANTURN thinking it can beat my team 1 v 6.
- The odd-one-out because it was a choice for rocker between it, mesprit, and regirock, and the team's already weak enough to knock off.
- Heavy-duty-boots because none of the legends have removal. Mixed drain punch because locking into psychic moves in this tier is rough. Going mixed allows us knock-off which is great utility. Unfortunately it makes us weaker on phys-def but we weren't taking any hits anyway... for that we'll need to lean on wo-chien and regirock.
- Not much to say here. We need physical defense and we rely on the legendaries' great bst for special bulk. Mean look because I tried it on the team in testing and it can really work as a makeshift surprise counter for certain mons.
- We need a scarfer. This is the only one of the bunch I'm comfortable using. We love trick because we lack phazing for dealing with setup like the demonic Alcremie. Healing wish because teams aren't built to handle TWO glastriers - or to heal up another mon/emergency momentum. You can use any psychic stab here, but I opted for psychic nosie for substitute abusers that were giving me trouble, like whimsicott. I had decent results with both mystical power and psychic as well. Especially the power of psychic helps against bulky physdef mons, but for that we have a bit of an ace up our sleeve...
SD Fighting move and Stone edge tera rock... but LEAF STORM with life orb and 0 spa adamant (-spa) nature turns into an ohko on palossand and sandaconda who otherwise annoyed me too much in laddering.
We need a rocker and we love the ironically helpful typing on this team. Body press is POWERFUL. Thunderwave because the team needs more speed control and lacks status.
, the coldest and baddest Pokemon around right now (no seriously it's being suspect tested right now)! Let's see what type of teams you all can come up with! Deadline is Wednesday, April 24th!!
- Tauros (water) gives us a powerful water-type breaker that can wear down the would-be checks to Cetitan. Defensively, Tauros offers utility with intimidate and resists fire, rock, and steel (all of which are super effective vs cetitan). Now, who can support tauros and cetitan offensively, defensively, AND with pivoting utility to bring them in?
- I opted for a nasty plot pivot set to form a volt-turn core to make it easier to bring in our Titans. Overheat plus Nasty Plot nukes many resists of Tauros and Cetitans, and Pain Split helps with staying power. Ultimately this mon is super annoying for the opposition to deal with on this team.
- Rocks, Electric immunity, Normal immunity, Fighting immunity - CHECK - Also it destroys bronzong 
- Tatsu gives us rapid spin, which we love because obviously our two Titans (tauros, cetitan) can't afford to run boots. Also gives us a way to hit water checks on the special side.
Speed control that doesn't rely ONLY on priority, a GHOST IMMUNITY and a powerful revenge killer, late game cleaner.
, usually it's a set up fodder for 
For this mon I needed some speed control outside of the snow, and a way of dealing better with the many fighting types this tier has. Scarf florges is kinda cool actually, if you manage to weaken the opposing fire and steel types with 
It's a cool mon too, sometimes does a lot of work in games as it doesn't really have switch ins (except the bulky ground types which are good to bring for our ice types). Tera ice can be used both to boost ice punch or to get the defense boost from the snow, and revival blessing is actually not that bad here. Usually this move isn't that good because it only brings a mon at half health, and it costs you a whole turn to do that, but the veil can help that half health mon to take some hits. On top of that, revival blessing brings back the mon without the tera type change, so if you face a fire type you can use tera steel oricorio to break and then bring it fire again to deal with the fire type in the end game.
