Voting is over and its time to announce the winner. This week we have a tie between Akumeoy with Toxapex and Vertex with Psychiciam Volcarona. Thank you to everyone who has participated this week.
Vote Tally
I Figured it was time for an aura veil team given how good they are right now. Variants have been Prominent on the ladder and OLT so I figured it was about time we worked out better ways of dealing with this thing. This varient is from the Sample thread but there are many with some swapping Cune for manaphy or T-tar for another mega. I expect Mega Diancie to be popular in this build when she is legal but for now we'll deal with this team team.
Sets
Explanation: The idea is simple set up veil as fast reliably possible, maybe rocks as well before setting up and going to town on the opposing team. Simple concept but one that serves offensive players fairly well. Ninetales is obvious setting up aura veil and chunking switch ins so that mons like Bolt beam duel dance magerna and Mega Tar have an easier time setting up. Zygarde enjoys the support this team provides. From there Suicune is taken as yet another win-con while offering backbone should things go south. Landorous rounds out the team setting up rocks and helping to break stall that would otherwise trouble team.
I'll try to get a replay but the teams common enough that it should be easy.
You may break this team with a single Mon or a core of 2. Ive liked results this week so I'm willing to try it once more. Try to keep standards high as demonstrated here. Dont have to be that high but thats prefered :) goodluck everyone
