With ORAS over it's time to wash away the old and bring in the new! Welcome to the Sun & Moon Teambuilding competition thread! With that said it's time to explain the rules:
Rules:
1. Entry submission: Post team in the thread itself with import and explanation in hide tags.
2. Disputes / Copying: Obviously, there is potential for disputes over copying or people making similar entries. In general, if your team entry has the same Pokémon and similar move sets to an earlier entry, it will be disqualified. If anyone tries to abuse this by reserving an early post in the thread for their entry, please bring it to my attention and they'll be disqualified. If you are caught doing this there is a high possibility you will not be allowed to post in the building stage for an indefinite amount of time.
3. Discussion and team changes: One part of the process is to have discussion about the teams and the core. While I'd like to keep this from being a speedy RMT thread, suggestions of improvements to entered teams are allowed. In the interests of fairness though, I'd ask that any suggestions don't involve anything more major than move set changes, and that if you've already submitted a team you won't change the Pokémon in it. Basically, just be sure that you're happy with the team before you send it in.
4. No bandwagoning: Please do a favor to me, and yourself, and don't post for whatever team where you recognize the name of the poster or if he has a shiny trophy or whatever. Vote for who you want to win, not who your friend wants you to vote for. I would appreciate it. Obviously it'll be hard to enforce this, but please use some common sense.
5. Make sure that the teams you post are for the core that I post.
6. Use this sprite converter instead of using party sprites http://fulllifegamer.bplaced.net/
Here is an example of the format you will be posting in this thread. Just for formality sake and because otherwise I may as well reject the team if it doesn't follow the format. Ok, here goes:

Basically this team is built around Shift Gear Magearna, which is in general a very solid win-condition. First off, let me explain why I'm using Life orb over Steelium/Farium Z. I chose Life Orb due to the more immediate power as there will be times where I can't shift gear, but Magearna can still pick up KO's. Anyways I went with dual STAB + Aura Sphere so you nail Steel-types like Heatran without getting pressured to trap the other Steel-types with Magnezone. Rocky helmet Landorus-T was picked in the next slot due to how it reliably sets up rocks while also providing slow U-Turns to get in Mega Alakazam/Magearna with more ease. It also helps bringing in Magnezone against Steel-Types and deals with opposing Ground-types. Stone Edge > HP Ice because I found myself fairly weak against Mega Pinsir. Alakazam was chosen because it takes advantage of Magearna's breaking power and provides me with a second win-con. Knock off was chosen for its utility purposes, such as luring and crippling Chansey, which can annoy this team somewhat. Knocking off shed shell is also useful since that prevents steel types from switching out against Magnezone. I noticed Heatran and Mega Charizard-Y could prove to be problematic, but at the same time, I wanted a switch in that didn't lose to Bloom Doom Heatran. I went with Calm Mind Latios because it beats both Mega-Charizard-Y and Heatran while also helping the team break down balance and stall really well. Next i went with Tapu Fini as a secondary Heatran switch in that wouldn't lose to pursuit users like Weavile/Tyranitar/Bisharp. Tapu Fini also helps handle Pheromosa and provides defog which is useful when most of the team is grounded. Finaly, I wanted a Tapu Lele and Tapu koko switch in, but also noticed I had issues removing steel types. AV Magnezone was a perfect fit because of its roll compression. When using this team, threats to watch out for include Psychic spam and Dugtrio.
