Now we got ourselves a team from Docter_Peng99 himself and while most of you know he likes using Kingambit, I am not gonna give this one to you that easily lol.
Looks like a fairly standard balance so what do you think the team needs?
Submissions end Friday January 26th!

Miasmaw @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Neutralizing Gas
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Earthquake
- Gunk Shot
Hello to biased proposal , as We know peng loves his kingambit offensive / Defensive teams , and from seeing how well this set fares with all sorts of support the team provides (hazards/Twave/Kingambit wallbreaking faster mons away with Sucker Punch and its good general defensive profile) and Doom desire forcing certain switch-ins , none of whom are good into Miasmaw , who can set up a swords dance on them (Went with tera Ghost to potentially laugh at a hemogoblin wanting to spam endgame ESpeed) The Huge NGaz Buff bypassing Proto/Quark Drive helps Miasmaw sweep after a Scale shot set up , as now none of the Booster Speed mons outrun it , making a major difference in how people respond to it (Usually via priority , which Cresceidon laughs at for the most part)

Alright I've seen Peng use this team a lot over the last few weeks in roomtours/ladder so here goes nothin...
Peng does architectu (Metagross) @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Clear Body
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Atk / 68 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Heavy Slam
- Bullet Punch
- Ice Punch (Tera Blast/ Thunder Punch/ Hammer Arm/ Psychic/Psychic Fangs/Psychic Noise)
Metagross fills the role of a secondary sweeper/wallbreaker for this team...it's a great knock off absorber from weaker knockspammers (Rev, Veno, Malaconda, Argho, Rilla, Clef, Gliscor, Deo-S, Ogerpons) even going as far as to tanking hits from darks (Knock offs from spe-moon/weav/meow, Darkrai's Dpulse) and ghostspammers (band pajantom, Ghold, pult). It can turn the tides of a game after safely activating Wkpolicy and can revenge kill most mons with +2 Heavy slam/Equake. Preferring Bullet Punch over trailblaze/agility cuz it saves momentum (no longer have to worry abt trick/encore/taunt) and lets you check Sash SD/TGlow Syclant, Screeners and Sash leads (Alolatales, Deo-S/Glimmora/Ribombee), Booster Boulder/moon (yes Booster speed Moon/Boulder outspeeds +2spe gross). Also gross get's twave support from Cres and has enough speed ev's to outspeed Shadow claw Rev, Hemo, Mollux, 0spe Tran and similar slower bulky mons. Adamant nature allows you to hit hard (even going for a kill with enough chip-damage from u-turn/rocks) faster frail sweepers like darkrai, stratagem, Miasmaw etc. Less speed and more bulk means no more worrying about speed drop from paralysis too hah!
You wont be clicking the 4th move much and Hslam equates the same damage output from supereffective ThPunch/Ice Punch yet Ice punch comes handy against specific threats like Zapdos, Dnite, Gliscor. You can run Psychic or Pyschic Noise for Zama, Argho, Veno (significant damage after WkP boost), tera blast for airborne steels (libra/skarm/crov) heck even thunder punch for tera water/snael/alomo/peliper.
Tera Fire Explanation: Immunity to wispburn and counter-measure for +1 bitter blade, weather ball and paradox-freaks like gouging fire, Iron Moth along with resistance to fairyspam, grassy glide, Bullet punch and finally to absorb scalds/flip turns to activate Wkpolicy.

Also don't forget to place your guesses I'm going to read them is I get the chance :D
( I do like my gambit endgames lol)
Waldinji I love maw
Ngl loaded dice miasmaw could actually work with the team but Metagross is also working with the team so really both options do have some testing behind them I used av miasmaw before and even iron moth in some early hyper offense drafts of the team I don't know if I'm actually allowed to vote as it's my team so I'll just put some of my thoughts on the options
Because I like both

I don't want to assume but...
Great Tusk@ Heavy-Duty Boots
Jolly Nature
4 HP 252 Attack 252 Speed
Headlong Rush/ Earthquake
Close Combat/ Ice Spinner
Rapid Spin
Knock Off
The team lacks hazard clearers and since it is full of protosynthesis mons it seems like the most fitting

Iron Moth @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
EVs: 124 Def / 132 SpA / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Grass
Timid Nature
- Fiery Dance

I was looking at this team and seeing it as some sort of booster spam + Hazard Stacking HO thanks to Booster Speed Hazards Sandy Shock acting how a Glimmora would as a suicide lead while having an Iron Valiant & Hemogoblin check with Booster Speed Iron Moth. Both of these elements benefit greatly for Booster Spam's Viability and , as a Mixture of Booster Spam and Hazard Stack , having Offensive checks to fast threats , hemo and With how Miasmaw + Tera Roaring Moon solves Arghonaut for Iron Moth.

This time around I figured with CAPCL going on and CAP OMs needing some more love, it would be high time to go with a CAP Monotype team courtesy of the newly minted ladybug boomp611 so here it is!
Submissions end Friday February 9th!
