Project Your Favorite Teams of Generation 8

Altough I don't really play mons rn, this is an easy pick for me.

:kartana::blacephalon::melmetal: :landorus-therian::weavile::dragapult:

I used this team vs Welli0u in WCOP qualifiers, though I used Banded Kart back then, because he is known to bring bulkier / fatter teams.

Anyways, I really like the offensive nature of the team. Scarf Kart is better than Banded in general, because other fast mons like Zeraora or opposing Scarf Blace are annoying to deal with otherwise. Adamant Banded Weavile with Beat Up is just a menace and a half, nailing 2HKOs on staples like Pex, Corvi and Ferro barring recovery. WP + Taunt Blace is a neat tech, and performs especially well against would-be walls like Blissey - it can even clown on mons like Tran and Pex (pun intended). Pads Melm is underrated af (Toxic over Twave is also fine). Now finally some standard shit with Specs Pult. And last but not least Spdef Lando who glues everything togehter as always - no Rocks were chosen because this team gets dunked on by hazards anyways, and it's a perfect catch-all mon for such an offensive team without max IVs in Speed and Helmet.

This team needs to be played moderately aggressive and struggles heavily against rain. Cheers.

Short post with my favorite 3 teams that I built during the generation (click sprites for importables):

1) :SS/tapu-fini: :ss/ferrothorn: :ss/volcarona: :ss/weavile: :ss/zapdos: :ss/hippowdon:

Completely outdated and from the Kyurem era, this was a fun team built around a FWG core, with Volcarona meant to both handle Kyurem & act as a wincon.

2) :ss/shedinja: :ss/avalugg: :ss/corviknight: :ss/dragonite: :ss/toxapex: :ss/blissey:

This was my take on stall for Gen 8. Somehow ABR came up with (or at least revealed) a team almost identical to this one at the exact same time I decided this was the definitive build for shed stall this gen - Dragonite really is needed to ease the MU vs sun. Don't underestimate Lugg's value on stall either.

Also no replay, because boring.

3) :ss/tyranitar: :ss/tapu-lele: :ss/dragapult: :ss/landorus-therian: :ss/ferrothorn: :ss/slowking:

A more contemporary team, just click and deal a lot of damage to your opponent! These types of builds (ttar + special breakers) are pretty common; this was just the last one I built on the last day of the gen!

Approved by the OU mod team.

With Generation 8 coming to a close we can look back at the meta throughout the years and remember a few teams. The teams we used in an important tour, to reach our peak in ladder, something we helped a friend build or even our first team for the ones that started playing during Sword and Shield. This thread is meant for you to post your favorite teams of Generation 8. Keep in mind the idea is not to post your entire builder, but to share some of the teams you remember fondly. You can take the Gen 7 thread of this project as reference.

Happy posting!
