op like completely stolen from @KyleCole

(this is intro example)

Hi! This thread is meant for players who are looking for help on how to build around certain common/effective cores
or dont know where to continue with their current core. (if it's listed here) This thread will also serve as a good
general guideline from multiple different perspectives of a certain core, given by all sorts of users. Keep in mind
when donating a team, make sure it is tested, not theorymonned or played with once! Also as a sidenote, please keep
suggested cores at B- or higher viability.

(actual checklists and team examples)

General
[hide=General NU checklist]
High Priority

-Fighting-type resist*
-Flying-type resist*
-Ground-type resist or immunity
-Normal-type resist*
-Water-type resist
*if the resist you choose isn't a hard counter to the most common Pokemon of this type, I'd reccomend adding at least one more resistance to it.

Medium Priority

-Check to +1/+1 Malamar
-Check to CM Psychic-types
-Check to Klinklang
-Check to Lilligant / Vivillon
-Electric-type immunity
-Fire-type resist

Low Priority

-If 2/3 of your team is weak to Stealth Rock, I would always prioritize a Defog or Rapid Spin user.
-Choice Scarf user or Pokemon that deal with all threats base 105 Speed and above (examples below)
        -Archeops
        -Liepard
        -Pyroar
        -Scyther
        -Swellow
        -Tauros​

Slot 1-Sawk
Slot 2-Skunk-Checks psychics and ghosts for Sawk to click CC more freely
Slot 3-Fighting Check-Team really gets hit hard by fighters at this point, musharna and xatu fit well here, some of these even carry rocks
Slot 4-Speed Control-Team is lacking anything faster than jolly sawk at this point
Slot 5-Fast Wincon/Offensive Rhydon check-team has no wincon and nothing appreciates switching in on Rhydon
Slot 6-Bulky Pivot/Fire Resist-Rhydon goes well here as it helps the team with normal and fire types as well as providing rocks
**Important notes**
-Hazard Removal-is not necessary as in general the team wont be murdered by entry hazards anyway, and the general offensive/hard hitting nature of the team, as well
as taunt from skunk puts pressure a lot of pressure on setters to get up hazards
-Keep up offensive pressure-related to the point above, teams like this like making predictions and playing aggresive to where down common checks to their offensive threats

Kangaskhan+Spike Stack

Slot 1-Kangaskhan(duh)-Puts a lot of pressure on opposing teams with strong priority in sucker and stab fake out
Slot 2-Hazard Stacker #1-Generally best option is garbodor, provides the good fighting check as well as the infamous tspikes+kanga combo
Slot 3-Hazard Stacker #2-Something with stealth rocks, than can also check powerful mons like cheops
Slot 4-Tspikes Synergy #2-Rotom is almost mandatory on Kangaspikes, being able to abuse hex at will
Slot 5-Special Tank-The team has nothing much for anything not hitting on the physical side, also lacks special wallbreaking power
Slot 6-Wincon, a linoone or a lilligant goes well here for their ability to easily clean up opposing teams thanks to hazard damage, with their boosts up, of course

Slot 1-Bulky Setter/Tspike absorber-Setter with good bulk and longevity, with the ability to remove tspikes, which is rly good for rain
Slot 2-Abuser #1-Just Standard abuser
Slot 3-Quick Rain pivot-This slot is really only applicable to liepard, the utility of prankster rain, knock off and a really good speed tier make it an ideal choice
Slots 4/5-Rain Abusers #2/#3-More Rain abusers
Slot 6-FAST rain abuser, something to revenge kill pokemon with <106 speed outside of rain, as well as benefitting from rain itself
[/hide]
**important notes**
Archetype-This is pretty much the same for Sun(if you want me to provide a seperate sun description, I will gladly do so)
GOTTA GO FAST-Keep rain up, keep offensive pressure through the roof, standard HO shit

I know most sprites are out of order, if this gets approved I'm re-ordering them, dwdw. My grammar/word choice is probably rly bad, but this is my first thread
application :/. Feedback is appreciated!
