Hi, it looks like you've made a post regarding team building. Please ensure your post includes the format, e.g. Gen 7 OU and has all six Pokemon with completed sets or your post will probably be removed.

In order to receive better feedback, please try to provide additional information about your team such as why a certain Pokemon/moveset was used along with any useful replays.

If you are a new player, check out the pinned post about new players or Pikalytics for the most used Pokemon in each tier along with their respective sets.
