​

Hello! This thread is here to archive teams from the DPP metagame and showcase popular playstyles and archetypes. Its aim is to help beginners and intermediate level players become acclimated to the tier, or simply to help anyone in need of a solid team to play.

Please note: Team submissions are closed, unlike in current generation tiers. Writeups for each sample team may come soon.

Hello! We've decided to do a small update to the sample teams to be more up to date with recent metagame changes. Our goal isn't to replace all the current samples as we feel like they're still good teams and representations of their playstyle. Rather we want to add new teams with Pokemon/Team styles which we feel were previously underrepresented, you can see those new additions here:

We'll definitely be looking at updating this more in the near future but we think this is a good start. Thanks to everyone who provided teams even if they didn't end up getting included, much appreciated! Hope everyone has fun trying these out!

My favorite set for a breloom is use toxic orb with the ability poison heal.
To moves breloom could have spore, substitute, focus punch and seed bomb

 

[Jelliefish]

These teams are pretty good

In this same post you have two very good teams, each one with a different style. 'My Blue Heaven' by august and 'Dragonite Lead Boom Offense' by crayon pop.

For what you want, do not use the one from Shedinja-43152.

Are there any good teams with CB Flygon or Life Orb Double Edge Clefable (It sounds ridiculous but its an analysis set lmao) I can use? I really want to use these sets but none of the above teams have them.

Good question. It's funny, I've never used CB Flygon in all my time playing DPP. I have always associated it with Scarf / LO, it depends on the team. I'm going to try to help in a perhaps unorthodox way. There's an old team called 'The Art of Uturn' by M Dragon. You can take that team as an example for CB Flygon. Being an old team (2009), there are things like Salamence. But it's not a problem, the closest thing is Nite. You can try other variants like Azelf > Uxie or Scarf > LO Lucario. I think it's closest to what you're looking for, although it can also work with other play styles.

The Art of Uturn

Sorry I can't help with Clefable. Anyway, I don't think I'll top any of their sets. It may surprise you at first, because it is something that is not expected. As an option it is fine, but I don't think it is recommended.
