OM Core Laddering Challenge [Challenge #13 @ post #497; deadline Feb. 24]

I used 4 teams for the challenge and will be posting the best two
Team #1
This is first team I used for the challenge. Normalium Z on Bewear for a powerful 200 Base Power Normal Type attack which is resisted by just Steel and Rock with Ghost being Immune to it. Thunder Punch for KOing Flying types, Superpower for another STAB move. It wasn't used much as the Tapu group is very common in the ladder. Standard Mega Charizard Y set to defeat Mega Slowbro and other physical walls. Scarf Kyurem-Black with Iron Head over Earth Power to deal with the fairy types and rest of the pokemon.
Pokemon that counter the team: Tapu Koko, Mega Gyarados with physical bulk (for surviving 2 Fusion Bolt).
Team #2
Normalium Z Bewear Giga Impact to OHKO most of the unresistant pokemon, Superpower for other noraml types like Chansey, Thunder Punch, EQ for coverage. Mega Gyarados has been a huge powerhouse since the beginning of Gen 7 and KOes a lot of Pokemon. 92 Def + Intimidate combo lets it survive 2 Fusion Bolt from Kyurem-Black most of the time accompanied by Elo Bandit 's super cool Porygon-Z set which KOes most of the common threats like both the Charizards, Kyurem-Black, Gyarados with Uproar, Mega Slowbro, Mega Pinsir, Lv1 Sturdy Pokemon and walls (Deoxys-D) with Trick Scarf.

Here is the team I originally used which resulted in my fourteen losses
Seems similar? That's becauseI imported my Giratina Hyper Balance Team and swapped out the mons of coincidence. Thankfully after that awful fourteen loss start I switched to my Giratina Hyp-- er... completely original team that I built from scratch and went on a 49 win streak.

Ok. Since Pokebilities ladder has ended, Pokebilties CLC is over. And so far... no one achieved anything.
Until 10th of February, the remaining CLC (BH and 1v1) is still not over, so you can still ladder for achievement.

I think I need to remind you guys that Challenge #3 ends tomorrow at February 10th, 2017. New challenges will be MnM, Sketchmons and probably Inheritance. Prepare guys.
