It's been a very long metagame. And I'm glad to say I've helped run this tier for a while. Since this is a community, my NU friends and I decided to make a list of our teams and give them to the public. We think that it'd be a solid idea if everyone would share their NU teams that they've had a lot of success with. This thread can also be used for possible advice for our or other people's teams. After testing out somebody's teams, you are allowed to give constructive criticism and maybe suggest things to change. Or maybe comment that _____'s team is very good. This is NOT an RMT forum, so don't go in-depth about your team. And if you want to RMT a team, I don't suggest putting it here, although after you RMT it, you may comment with the Pastebin or the Importable. TEAMS FROM PAST METAGAMES ARE ALLOWED AS WELL. I.e: Bisharp/Crustle era, Manectric/Scyther Era, even as far back as Escavalier meta.

Hey guys, thanks for this great response! We have over 100 pretty solid NU teams, which I think is pretty cool. Thank you to New Breed for flashing me on PO and saying the Hall Of Fame was a good idea! I want to hear your opinions on the Hall Of Fame, and maybe some suggestions while you're at it. I know it might take a while to test out some of the teams you're interested in, so no rush to nominate.

For old meta's this is my most succesful, is stall with Bisharp because BisharpEra, I think it peaked #1 at around 1550 http://pastebin.com/YxmpXUXc
some of my favorite teams : http://pastebin.com/Le1VFXau - a balanced team using alolick 2 make ppl frustrated!! http://pastebin.com/Xd1SSb1G - a dual screen + hazard offense abusing screens and dual dance torterra who nobodys prepared for http://pastebin.com/zcapzfCQ - another team based on dual dance torterra, using spec mesprit to remove counters, and taunt probo fuck ferroseed. http://pastebin.com/dRsn7EG9 - pretty fun team with acrogem prime and RP camel nobody knows whats goin on when they play vs this n then scarf swellow is a threat
I might as well start off the nominations. I've used easily half of these teams in tests with my friends and I'd like to bring some of these teams to your attention. http://pastebin.com/VbYdvH1U - Meeps' Combusken team is a great example of offense using bulky pivot Alomomola to take on strong attackers. Although a slight weakness in Klinklang, Meeps' has been able to use this team with great success and I was able to tell why when I used this. http://pastebin.com/riGqVU5K - Meeps' Stall team, utilizing unrated threats like Quagsire and Mirror Coat Alomomola, this team is incredibly hard to break and probably one of the best stall teams I've come across in a while. Although a well played Sawk/Houndoom or Skuntank team could cause trouble if played very well, that goes for any Stall team. http://pastebin.com/MpXMy1ZF - New Breed's offense, A great example of a HO team in the current meta. Getting rid of key threats by using neat mons like HP Fire Mesprit, utilizing Carracosta as well, a great Pokemon if set-up correctly. I helped him make this so of course it's amazing, but in all seriousness, this isn't a very easy team to beat by any means. Kangaskhan allows the team to beat a lot of RD users like Seismitoad/Ludicolo, which are hell for a lot of HO teams. Talk about 'em! Nominate some of your own. If we all reach a consensus, then we'll put them in Hall Of Fame!
http://paste2.org/9GBJeWNZ - pls nom n_n I am going to second Meeps' Combusken team. It has not only consistently preformed well in official tournaments, but it also is a great bulky offensive team that is only somewhat weak to Klingklang and Eelektross. In addition, Roku's CameruptDodrio team is worthy of being nominated, too. It functions very well in general and can out pressure on just about any opposing threat or style. In addition, it utilizes underrated threats such as Dodrio and Camel. Finally, I think this team is probably amongst the top 3 in the whole thread - http://paste2.org/n9pn0FhC Cased's team utilizes CB Primeape, Specs Houndoom, and Scarf Rotom-Ice as a hyper offensive core in conjunction with hazards and Swellow as a cleaner. All in all considered, this team is monstrous and functions superbly.
In my opinion the best team out of them all has to be big ed's team right here: http://pastebin.com/Le1VFXau. Alomomola + Lickilicky is possibly the best defensive core in NU, allowing him to outstall most of the metagame with just two pokes. He combines this core with arguably the best SR setter in Seismitoad. Powerful threats including SubCM Mesprit, CB Sawk and Life Orb Skuntank create an offensive core that we all love to use and hate to face. Wallbreaker, Stallbreaker and setup Sweeper, big ed covers everything and can execute it perfectly thanks to the extensive Wish support allowing him to make switches he otherwise couldn't.
I wouldn't be in favor of putting this into Hall Of Fame. It's without a doubt a good team, but gaping weaknesses to Sawsbuck and Klinklang are a serious problem. I used this team about 5-6 times against common playstyles and it struggled horribly against common offense. The main struggle is the fact that the fastest Pokemon is mid 270s Speed, and the wall pivots get taken advantage of common set-up Sweepers. Again, this is just my opinion, anybody who feels differently may comment and the majority will get their wish. I'd be in favor of this, after using this for around 4-5 battles with you, it was pretty easy to tell that this is a great team. Breaking holes for Dodrio by using powerhouses like Specs Mesprit and Rain Dance Ludicolo is a great idea, and getting rid of bulky Ghost/Psychic types with Houndoom make Dodrio a huge threat to take into account. Of course, other people should chime in. ALONGSIDE NOMINATING, PLEASE COMMENT ON OTHER TEAMS THAT HAVE BEEN NOMINATED SO I CAN START THE HALL OF FAME
Erm, not sure if this would be off topic, but is there a reason the Houndoom in Roku's team has early bird? Or was is just an accident. Other than that, I agree that the team is really innovative and works well, using underused mons like Camerupt and Dodrio as well as specs Mesprit. Good team!
Yeah Roku's Dodrio team, meeps' Combusken and meeps' stall team all work really well as long as you don't Magic Coat the Houndoom. I'd like to nominate Incon's second team as well. SD Drapion and CB Emboar are there to do business and break defensive cores, kept healthy by Alomomola. Ludicolo punishes sweeps offensive teams late with its terrorizing speed and power if it sets up Rain Dance. Golem and Alomomola take care of defensive duties of the team, while also sharing awesome synergy with the rest of the team. Mesprit rounds off the team nicely, providing a nice catch-all revenge killer if things go south.
Does seem like a nice team, however I've got to say I don't see Golem's purpose on the team. Golem's only niche imo is as a custap explosion lead, if it's not doing that then it is severely outclassed by Rhydon or Piloswine, which have far better bulk and/or better coverage. Note I haven't actually tested the team, i'm just speaking from a general perspective.
I've had the pleasure of testing with Incon for POCL 3 numerous amounts of times, and I must say it's a good team. Of course I have my preferences, preferably Sleep Talk over Stone Edge, and a possible Golem replacement like Rhydon or Piloswine, although Sucker Punch is a really nice move, esp. for mons with high Attack like Golem. That's probably the only thing it has over the aforementioned Piloswine or Rhydon, I can say it's a great team, although it wouldn't feel right if I nominated it since I've played it so much and I don't want bias to become an issue. I have a lot of changes I'd make to his team, since I'm not a fan of Choice Scarf Mesprit, esp. in this metagame, too many 50/50s to be a big threat. I know it's a solid team but I feel like there's too many things I'd change, but it's a solid team and I wouldn't mind if it went into the Hall of Fame
http://pastebin.com/eD0gvJwF - Encore Kadabra + Klingklang Hyper Offense with Piloswine Pivot and Mixed Emboar Just a team I've created recently which functions pretty well (won an event tour and a bunch of other battles that I used it in for testing / other stuff.) Anyway, Cased and I are going to test more teams and post our thoughts tonight whenever he finishes procrastinating
a few of my more enjoyable teams for posterity http://pastebin.com/AEzvV03e used mainly in early BW2 NU. used one of my fave mons in Pidgeot in conjuction with CB Sawk to blow holes into teams. really fun duo, my first real successful team http://pastebin.com/bLdyaqxE objectively my best BW2 NU team, made during Cincinno era NU. just some good old hyper offense. utilized Cincinno's great pressure to switch into a member of the FWG core. Golruk made for a great pivot/ sr layer, Boar could RK, and Klingklang swept up the mess. very efficient, swamped the ladder and had a winning tour record while it lasted as far as nominations idk, but Cased's Crustle/Bish team is certainly deserving http://paste2.org/nn63NbJ1. really shined in that era showing the brokenness of Crustle + Bish. neat utilization of a double drag core in NU, seldom seen, but certainly effective.
since i made like 5 nu teams a day back when it was played im just gonna share ones that i used more than 20 times and that are cool http://pastebin.com/wnmd3V00 - first team that i did well with, bastiodon is funny http://pastebin.com/eANny9nr - another old one i used alot from when scyther was a thing http://pastebin.com/jhYcv4m2 - haahahhahhahahah rotom-bs/sd licki is good times (not according to cased) might post more later, hard to find things because all my old team names were like "fejiosduhi" or "i hat nu"
