  1. So this team started with Murkrow as I really love this mon in PU and in general. It ended up being a semi T-Wave spam team when it was done, but I will get to that. First off, "standard" Murkrow is a great mon in this metagame as it not only cripples the S+ rank mons, it is also backed by a powerful Brave Bird and Sucker Punch giving it decent power against a lot of the top threats such as Marill, Monferno, and so on. I added Marill as it has nice offensive synergy with Murkrow being able to take on Ground-types such as Piloswine and Gligar that can tank Murkrow's hit and are immune to Thunder Wave. Choice Band is a really decent wallbreaker as well which makes Murkrow's cleaning job easier. Electabuzz was added as a way to provide momentum as well as give the team an answer to sleep inducing moves. Its blazing base 105 Speed also gives the team, at this point, some much needed speed. Next up, I noticed the lack of hazards / hazard removal so I went with Gligar who is easily the best Defogger in the metagame thanks to its immense bulk and Ground / Flying typing making it neutral to Stealth Rock and immune to Spikes / Toxic Spikes. Bulk Up Gurdurr became a nice win condition to fit on the team as Murkrow could handle most Psychic-types via TWave or Dark STAB while Electabuzz handled the Flying-types. Lastly, I lacked a solid revenge killer, so I went with Focus Sash Kadabra, which really appreciated being able to have support for Sneasel as well as Thunder Wave itself to cripple any mon that is faster, speedties, or outprioritizes it such as Scyther, Sneasel, and Fletchinder. Overall, this team is a really fun and "out of the box" team from my perspective. Make sure to watch out for Piloswine as nothing truly likes switching in, it is immune to Thunder Wave, and it can only be revenge killed by Gurdurr and Marill so make sure to keep them two healthy.
