Congratulations to adem for winning the voting round of our first week! Tomorrow at 11:59pm GMT -4 we will build the team in the National Dex room! 
Will you share the team here or no?
i am just curious, as i will be hardly online at that time, and i don't want to miss it
And here is the finished team! We built this in the National Dex Room! https://pokepast.es/8c9891ab5b887f47
The biggest weakness to this team is Scizor notably, so we enforced a minor to change to Zapdos, with Blaze Kick and then HP Fire on both Landorus and Kyurem. Zapdos, Kyurem and Mega Lopunny provides good synergy in cleaning up after each other as solid breakers. Mega Lopunny carries the team as speed control, but Kyurem and Zapdos have decent speed tiers to outrun bulky teams, whilst having a high damage output. The team can potentially lose out to Garchomp paired WITH Scizor, but Landorus should be able to tackle both reliable, being able to pivot into Lopunny and Tapu-Fini as well being able to deal with Scizor.
Anyone is free to use this team anywhere they like! Big thanks to the Community for making this team! Submissions for the new week open tomorrow!

Mono-Stored Power Latias is an interesting balance pick that subverts its usual Steel-type counterplay, becoming immune to Toxic in some form to let it break counters easier. However, it isn’t able to check threats nearly as effectively, leading it to being on the rare side. Perhaps we can build that helps with that?

this core is a good offensive core were both mons have good synergy with each other, vic can speed control for shif-r and also it targets mons shifu-r hates with v-create or final gambit, also final gambit full hp vic could ohko fini and pex which are of shifu-r greatest counter and vic could also u-turn for shifu-r, if vic final gambited on the opposing bulky water, shifu-r is activated and goes crazy with his banded stabs, also the rockers of the tier are easy prey for shifu-r which helps vic to come in multiple times without getting a quarter of its health lost everytime it switches in and also makes it utilities final gambit to the fullest.

I swear to god this set is so underrated. It takes on many of its it-would-be checks like Fini Pex and Slowbro among others. It reaches a lot of OHKOs o these threats.
+1 252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Gigavolt Havoc (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 244-288 (80.2 - 94.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO easy to get some chip with teammates and after rocks even easier
+1 252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Gigavolt Havoc (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 104 Def Toxapex: 294-348 (96.7 - 114.4%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
+1 252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Gigavolt Havoc (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 68+ Def Tapu Fini: 348-410 (101.1 - 119.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Gigavolt Havoc (140 BP) vs. 248 HP / 184+ Def Corviknight: 338-398 (84.7 - 99.7%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
+1 252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Thunder Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Pelipper: 356-420 (110.2 - 130%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Hey, Ms. Togenium here. I'd love to put this reply for the CCTA because the other ones I saw were pretty good. So I thought putting my own in here would be fun to put my own here!
After a week with Nacreous Snowmelt (A good friend of mine), we thought of Vaporeon. A water defensive pokemon worked well at one time and lets be honest: He made good progress on the ladder! We thought we wanted a offensive mon that can pair well with Vaporeon such as: Koko and weavile. we settled on Weavile. Zeavile to be exact. It has the amazing ability to break Toxapex and Corviknight as well, since it runs Throat Chop. If it has burn status, Like a good neihbor, Vaporeon is there. 3 tests were done and it took a while to think of the following:
Test A- Wish Bell support: https://pokepast.es/3623aedd8cb99ff4
Test B- Stall Turn: https://pokepast.es/12a7649b8bef0169
Test C- Burn baby, burn.: https://pokepast.es/849c4addc3f3ca96
We talked and went with Test A. The people of this have the option to choose which one they want. We highly recommend A since it was our most valued. Appreciate your time taking your time to look at this! Ill hope to have the CCTA once again. Yours Truly, Togenium

Congratulations to Triton_da_g.o.a.t for winning this week of voting! We will be building around the core tomorrow at 11:59pm GMT +1 in the National Dex Room!
And here is the finished team! We built this in the National Dex Room! https://pokepast.es/b2bb44b8cdcb5cfb
The main idea behind the defensive backbone of the team, was to provide valid answers or checks to Kyurem, Victini, Koko and Charizard-Y. Of course the team may still struggle with these mons in certain situations, however they can be easily played around with type immunity! Mega Manectric and Victini provide good speed control, and although the team may look weak to all Volcarona varients in total, Victini is the long term answer as because of it's HP Investment, can reliably deal with Volc with a V-Create.
