- Before posting teams here you should get permission from one of this thread's two hosts. Yourwelcomethanku (WALLY#4434) or C0nfiden1 0yster (C0nfiden1 0yster#6805) over the forum or through Discord.
- Teams ideally are representative of the metagame (Tho, with how early on it is, this is less important)
- Teams should be posted via Pokepast
- Not a hard requirement, but if your team has tournament success it's far more likely to get sampled.
- Having a description of the team is also not a hard requirement, to not discourage posting, but is appreciated.

Crocalor is Heavy-Duty Boots as opposed to Eviolite in order to compliment the Spikes stacking nature of the team. There's no hazard removal for Crocalor. Knock Off Sableye and entry hazard setter Whiscash are a big way for this team to wear down the opposition whilst staying healthy with its sheer bulkiness. Alomomola is Tera Fairy, which is critical for Flamigo. Wish from Alomomola can keep the recovery move-lacking Revavroom and Whiscash healthy. Calm Mind helps Blissey check setup sweepers like Oricorio and Rotom, and Shadow Ball lets it hit Ghost-types and even sometimes sweep teams with Tera Ghost. Tera Ghost is important for Blissey to handle Toxtricity, as Shift Gear can Drain Punch Blissey and Tera Normal +1 Boomburst is just too strong.
Toxtricity & Specs Tatsugiri Spikes Offense by ishtarHazard stacking in RU is fairly straightforward, particularly when considering the potency of breakers such as Toxtricity. The team should be used rather offensively in order to reliably deal with threats such as Rotom-Heat and Oricorios: Tatsugiri and Gardevoir particularly. Spin is very much so an afterthought option on the team, so only resort to it instead of clicking your very spammable STAB moves if extremely necessary. Fat MUs are more reliant on Gardevoir Trick as well as Toxtricity, but if these become particularly problematic Drain Punch could be considered on Toxt, but I don’t consider this to be the case in the current meta. You should have enough of a defensive backbone with Mudsdale and Klefki to withstand most unboosted threats, and Roar shall remain an invaluable asset in dealing with certain setup sweepers. Finally, figure out a plan with Toxtricity taking into consideration hazards, phasing, Rocky Helmet, pivoting, HW, etc. The amount of tools at your disposal should allow you to (hopefully) come out on top vs. every archetype. Hf!
Snow by Togkey Trailblaze Heracross Bulky Offense by eifoFairly basic proactive bulky offense build. Hera and Krook are the main ways of making progress, greatly aided by future sight Bro. Bro packs body press and tera fairy for the Weavile match up. Tera poison lets Krook beat Mowtom, Hera, Bonnet, Flamigo, Sylveon, and Gardevoir (if locked into Moonblast). Hera is tera normal to power up facade, but you could also use tera dark with Throat Chop to break Palossand and ohko Mismagius. Garde provides the team with speed control, healing wish support for Hera/Krook, and counterplay versus set up mons such as Pom-Pom, CM Bro, and to some degree Sensu and Frosmoth. The team also as a Pom-Pom itself, but its role is to function as a pivot and form of hazard control here, rather than sweeper. It is tera fire to deal with Cetitan, which unfortunately ohkos Slowbro with tera ground earthquake after a belly drum, hence that matchup needs to be played carefully. Vroom rounds out the team by providing a general defensive pivot, toxic spikes absorber, and additional insurance versus Sensu, Frosmoth, and Gardevoir. It was originally tspikes itself, but being walled by Klefki and opposing Vroom was not fun. The speed lets it outspeed max speed Frosmoth, such that you may haze and then outspeed it. Tera water lets it tank moves from Salazzle and Tatsugiri when in a pinch, while also shedding its ground weakness, but you generally do not want to tera it, much like with Pom-Pom.
by YourwelcomethankuThe idea of this when making it was Bulk Up Krookodile + Slowbro, both are powerful setup sweepers that can be difficult to handle. These Pokemon also simply have good practical applications thanks to their good defensive typing, Slowbro can check stuff like Flamigo and Copperajah, and having the ability to block Volt Switch with Krookodile at all is valuable. Intimidate could also be useful for thwarting something like Shift Gear Revavroom. Gardevoir gives the team a very powerful wallbreaker and a Cetitan check. With Tera Fire, it can resist Ice Shard and revenge kill Cetitan. Altaria gives the team entry hazard removal, which is important given the pace of the team and numerous susceptible Pokemon, and a Brute Bonnet check. Indeedee provides a Choice Scarf user that resists Ghost, outpaces most opposing Choice Scarf users, and outpaces +1 Oricorio forms. Psyshock is chosen because it hits Mismagius a lot harder.
Semi-Stall with Zoroark and Ditto by YourwelcomethankuThis team was made to try and deal with the highly offensive teams that were being spammed on ladder during RULT. It has Ditto with Tera Steel to try and check Hariyama, Blissey helps against Toxtricity and is the Stealth Rock user rather than Mudsdale, which lets Mudsdale run both Roar and Protect. Cryogonal combines phazer with Haze and entry hazard removal via Rapid Spin, helps keep Rocks off and checks Oricorio. Tera Steel can help it deal with like Gardevoir or Calm Mind Psyshock Slowbro. Zoroark is a Pokemon that I think is pretty good in this format, not many Knock Off users. Essentially, Zoroark is intended to be a big way for the team to make progress, by removing Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers and dealing damage. Whether or not Zoroark can do this may be hit or miss, if they have a Paldean Tauros. it might take a while. After Knock Off and U-turn there's good freedom in what moves to use. Low Kick and Sucker Punch aren't that important on this team. Consider options like Sludge Bomb for Fairy-types, Dark Pulse for Slowbro(Slowbro walls unless you Tera Dark), Psychic for Paldean Tauros and so on. Calm Mind Slowbro gives the team a great win condition. Mudsdale is the team's Ground-type, which is important for Bellibolt. Heavy Slam means Gardevoir is OHKOd and you hit Flamigo hard too.
Spikes Balance by YourwelcomethankuMudsdale, Slowbro, and Blissey is a great defensive core that can cover a lot of the metagame. Toxtricity, Flamigo, Tatsugiri and many more threats can be checked by them. Blissey is the Stealth Rock user, which frees Mudsdale to run both Roar and Protect. Heavy Slam prevents Mudsdale from being setup fodder to Mismagius and it hits Flying-types like Flamigo hard. Calm Mind Slowbro gives the team a very good setup sweeper win condition. Klefki is a good Weavile answer, Gardevoir answer, and provides Spikes. Salazzle and Choice Scarf Passimian both have Knock Off, which can help accentuate Spikes. They're also quite fast, complementing the slow bulky rest of the team. Salazzle is great at crippling Pokemon with its Toxic, which can also let it check Primeape. Passimian is Tera Steel here so that it can resist Bullet Punch and revenge kill Belly Drum Hariyama.

Like Gardevoir moved to UU, i wanted to try Typhlosion.
With this 4, my team was rly weak to specially offensive pokemons. So, i decided to use goodra, as a tank and wallbreaker, that can also deal with altaria or other typh / Croak counters. Classic 4 attacks, stab draco meteor, sludge bomb for fairy-types, flamethrower for steel-types (fire blast good too) and hydro pump for naclstack or palossand (hydro pump was chosen cuz it can 2hko naclstack). Tera Poison to have stab sludge and good defensive typing. Being immune to poison is also rly cool. 60 Speed to outspeed alt at 210 speed
