Hi, it's Elise here and I'm announcing me quitting playing Pokemon for this gen at least. I know it won't take long for S/M to drop but I'm not sure if I will be around for that so yea.

I'd like to start with talking about why I'm quitting first before I drop the team, because I heard there were some misconceptions about why I'm quitting. It's not out of frustration, despite it possibly looking like that. I just want to reallocate my time better and spend it on studying, fitnessing, footballing, and just listening to music rather than hopefully do well at one of the seasonals. Even though my initial goal was SPL, I don't think I want to put in the time necessary to get to that level.

Motivation came in huge waves for me. The one day I was extremely hyped to play Seasonals, and the other day I could just not be bothered to even look on Smogon. @qsns wanted me to sign up badly so I did it for him, even though I initally wanted to just help my friends. It's okay though, as I have dropped out now and maybe will help out my friends with supplying them old teams and possibly identifying weaknesses in one's building if I get the time.

I have built approximately a 100 teams prior to seasonals, as I wanted to help out my friends with dank ass teams and I think I've got a bunch of good teams. I originally wanted to do a teamdump and I asked @kamikaze17 because he thought I was quitting for the wrong reasons, which is not true, so I'll just drop the one team that I had the best results with in testing and is probably my favourite team to play with.

Gardevoir
I honestly just wanted to build around Gardevoir as I consider it as a quite fun and unique Pokemon which can fit on basically any playstyle you want it to. It also looks extremely cute and basically fixes any aesthatic problem you might have with your team.

Gardevoir Suicune
I decided I wanted something different than Semiroom which a lot of people are playing right now with Mega Gardevoir. I already had a bunch of Garderoom so I decided to mix it up and see if it works on Tailwind. Suicune is bulky and is probably one of the most reliable Tailwind setters which made me put it on the team.

Gardevoir Suicune Heatran
Heatran fixes some other issues with the team, mostly with being unable to hit Steels which is a struggle for Gardevoir/Suicune. Also Substitute is a fantastic win-condition, especially when you manage to get Tailwind up as well.

Gardevoir Suicune Heatran Conkeldurr
I tend to slap a lot of Conkeldurr on my teams but I thought Wide Guard would be a great niche, as well as having priority and making sure I have another Kang check.

Gardevoir Suicune Heatran Conkeldurr Kyurem-Black
Scarf Kyurem-Black was a more solid check to Landorus-Therian and that's all there really was to it. Kyurem-Black has really nice coverage and stellar SpA, and having Choice Scarf is quite nice.

Gardevoir Suicune Heatran Conkeldurr Kyurem-Black Landorus-Therian
I wanted to have Intimidate on the team and basically all other Intimidate users wouldn't fit on the team. I didn't want to use dual Scarf on one team as that often times puts you in a worse position when the opponent outpredicts you, so I went for Expert Belt and Substitute.

Again, Gardevoir is just an extremely fun Pokemon to mess around with and considering it fits on so many kinds of builds. It can force the opponent in so many tough positions and especially paired with speed control Gardevoir becomes difficult and a monster to take down.
