Featured Teams for Team of the Week

[Astra]

Thank you to everyone who helped out in February! Time to march into March.

March 3rd: OU
March 10th: RU
March 17th: ZU
March 24th: NatDex UU
March 31st: VGC

Notes:

• RU and ZU have been chosen to be featured early and towards the middle of the month so they won't potentially become outdated the month afterwards, which is a tier shift month. These two tiers specifically haven't been featured for a while.
• NatDex UU and VGC have been chosen to be featured towards the end of the month because they either won't be affected by tier shifts (VGC) or likely will experience very minimal and trivial changes (NatDex UU).

Thank you everyone for helping out in March. Time to move ahead with April.

April 7th: OU

Notes:

Tremendous work for April fellas, thanks everyone! Let's move on now to May!

May 5th: RBY OU
May 12th: NatDex OU
May 19th: Monotype
May 26th: OU Mix and Mega

Notes:

• RBY OU has been chosen since we haven't featured it in like ages. Also, with the RoAPL going on we can maybe see some heat teams :eyes:
• Monotype falls in a similar situation as RBY OU; we haven't featured it for a hot minute.
• OU is our evergreen tier! An OU team a day keeps the doctor a-wait...due to some delays on OU teams, we've opted for an OM, and Mix and Mega is a fun one so whynot!

Thank you to everyone for helping out in May, especially Alpha, who had to take over for a little bit as I suffered through finals. Onwards to June!

June 2nd: Ubers
June 9th: BDSP OU
June 16th: NU
June 23rd: NFE
June 30th: OU

Notes:

• For the most part, all of these were chosen on the basis that they haven't been featured in a while (besides OU, of course) and the fact that most of them have tournaments going on currently.

Good work last month, everyone! Time to move on to July.

July 7th: CAP
July 14th: OU
July 21st: UU
July 28th: DPP OU

Notes:

• CAP has been given the first slot of the month to showcase its newest creation, Saharaja.
• It's been a while since we've featured UU, so we'll be showing it some love this month.
• DPP OU gets the last slot of the month to coincide with DPP PL.

Awesome month, people! Here are the August tiers.

August 4th: AG
August 11th: LC
August 18th: GSC OU
August 25th: OU

Notes:

• AG and LC are in the thick of their team tours, making them good choices.
• GSC hasn’t had a team of the week slot in quite a while, making it a nice choice as an old gen.

Aaaaaand that's a wrap for Team of the Week for Generation 8! We will be back once Scarlet and Violet are in full force, so stay tuned!

 

[Astra]

Hey all, if it wasn't already obvious from the past few months, I've resigned from my position from this project and have passed the torch onto dex. He has shown great responsibility and effort towards many sections on this site, and that clearly has held strong so far for TOTW. I'd like to give a very big (and belated) thanks to everyone I've worked with over the nearly two years while I was leader on this project and hope that keeps up as the newest generation is upon us. Don't give dex a hard time (that's already my job)!

 

[dex]

We back.

We will be doing just 2 teams a month for a bit to let metagames settle more so that we can have higher quality ones in the future! RMT Collabs are on a hiatus at the moment as well for the same reason.

January 12th: Ubers
January 26th: OU
