Welcome to SV OU Matchmaking ! It's a comptetition where you can share the best teammate(s) for a chosen Pokemon, to explore the Pokemon's full potential ! Try to be as original as possible, but remember that troll sets / Pokemon will not be allowed, you need to find the best teammate, not the funniest !
At the beginning of the week, we will submit one set. You will have until Day 4 to find (and post) the best teammate possible for the Pokemon of the week. From Day 5, you will have to vote for the best teammate of the week. The winner will be in our Hall of Fame, and in the SV OU Great Cores archives.

From Day 5, you will have to vote for the best teammate of the week. The winner will be in our Hall of Fame, and in the SV OU Great Cores archives.
Rules :
- You may submit only one teammate per week.
- You cannot vote for your own Pokemon.
- You can vote for only one Pokemon.
- You can reserve a teammate, but if you haven't properly filled it in within 48h of your reservation, it may be taken by someone else. Additionally, teammates that haven't been filled out by the time voting starts will not be included in the voting phase.
- You may nominate a different set for a Pokémon that has already been submitted. However, it's important that the set is distinct from the other submission.We won't accept submissions where the only difference is something simple like 1 move or an EV spread unless the change substantially alters how the core functions.
- Finally, please follow the forum rules.

Battle Bond Greninja + Choice Band Dragapult by

, 
, and 
. Finally, while Heatran appreciates the ability to tera, it doesn't absolutely need it to function, and can leave Sneasler the crucial ability to Tera Flying on its sweep. Here's the specific set I have in mind:
, 
and especially 
. EVs are full offensive here, we want Heatran to output as much offensive pressure as possible and not let the enemy team recover.
gets trapped to Magma Storm, Taunted, and dies to Earth Power. Heatran will definitely take some chip damage, but should cleanly and reliably get the kill.
can be scary if running Earthquake, but if you confirm that it is not an Earthquake set, Heatran can likely trap and kill the salt block. Heatran will of course take a lot of damage back from Salt Cure in the meanwhile, but if it means removing the best defensive check to Sneasler, it'll be worth it.
does only moderate damage to Heatran (~43% from scarf or other max special attack sets), but needs. Only mostly full speed investment Gholdengo sets will outspeed Heatran as well, so bulkier NP variants can be outsped and killed quite easily. Note that Gholdengo somehow survives a Magma Storm hit, it won't be trapped, so keep that in mind when making predictions.
can only hurt Heatran with the semi-rare Stomping Tantrum, and must be afraid of Magma Storm. Heatran getting slept isn't a huge deal, since it means Sneasler can likely survive 1 hit from Amoonguus. not get slept, and keep sweeping.
Typical sets can't hurt Heatran at all, and even Surf only does ~45%. Heatran shuts down the pivoting from Chilly Reception via Taunt and can trap + kill Slowking, a very annoying and bulky pivot in general that could also give Sneasler pause.
Not the best mon for Heatran to handle, but can switch into Hurricanes with some ease (~28% from offensive sets) and help deduce the Zapdos set and EVs based on whether Zapdos outspeeds Heatran or not. Zapdos may also be forced to switch out for fear of Toxic from Heatran. and taking some Magma Storm chip may be just enough to give Sneasler the kill later.
Heatran will absolutely need to Tera grass to beat this, but if you can use it, the big fish is almost certainly trapped, taunted, and dead.
The croc seems pretty rare in the post-home meta, but Heatran can easily switch into it and apply pressure to the opponents team. Since it can't be trapped by Magma Storm, taunting it to accumulate chip damage is likely the better option.
