Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
http://pokepast.es/6c0e128f112cc8e0 for Hippo showcase, I made the most standard hippo, stout and aero team. I thought since hippo is the sand setter of UU may as well make a team showing why sand support is good for stout+aero, smooth rock should probably be ran over leftovers I just like leftovers too much :/
Made a nice HO SD double prio LUCARIO team for ur spotlight series! its pretty much lead azelf, setup rocks, boom and 5 hard hitting mons! chandy to block rapidspin and serp to punish defoggers! Lucario isnt that easy to use but on this team he worked pretty well! (u can use this team for M-SHARK spotlight too) hf :] http://pokepast.es/0517bac34e035a70
if you feel like mixing it up and playing a bit of nu, I enjoy using this team with double z, hydro vortex slowbro and acid downpour croak if you want to make changes go ahead.
I have a really fun OU team with Psychium Z Manaphy and healing wish Clefable. I have been consistently winning all of my matches with this team :] https://pokepast.es/5ba0cc0de42cb8e7
Probably too late for Gengar submissions, but this team is pretty cool. Gigavolt Havoc, Taunt Gengar and an SD Mega Abomasnow to deal with stall + Sub-Seed Serperior, Scarf Latias, Eviolite Magnezone, and Seismitoad. https://pastebin.com/r5s4PL8y
Team for the Klefki spotlight. I figured that I'd get in ahead of time. https://pokepast.es/e718539f39b6be1c
It's an offensive team. Set up hazards with Klefki and Gliscor, weaken checks with Flare Blitz, finish the match with strong priority. Gliscor's EVs can be moved around if you want less speed for more attack or sp.def
This is supposed to be a Mega Houndoom team, a miller. With Leech Seed and priority and pursuit to set up Mega Houndoom solo Dark pulse with Super fAng in the end game. Add a scarf Togekiss to deal with dragons and I hope you use it. Don't be afraid to alter it, but I think solo Dark Pulse Mega Houndoom could be fun. https://pastebin.com/V5Erc9hZ
Featuring:
Specspin Starmie (Triple-S tier pokemon)
TEAM PLAYER Swampert
Generic Mega Aero
Scizor as your win condition
SOME REALLY WEIRD TECH ON CELEBI
And Umbreon, the "Bad Blissey"
You haven't done a monotype live in a while so i thought i'd drop some quality teams for you to try. They're not super standard, but I think you'd enjoy using them alot. Enjoy~
