Welcome to Good NU Cores!
For this thread, the idea is very simple- Any cores that you (the community) feel work well within the current metagame can be posted here! These cores are meant to spread the knowledge to newer players and also give everyone ideas for building new teams!
For a basic definition of core, it consists of two or three Pokemon that cohesively mesh and achieve a specific goal. For example, the goal can be breaking through sturdy defensive counterplay, or covering weaknesses by virtue of typing.
When submitting a core, please make sure you follow the rules listed below,
1. The core must contain at least two Pokemon and a maximum of three Pokemon
2. Include a short description of the core to make it easier to understand for someone who does not know how your core functions.
3. The submitted core must be tested to ensure that it performs well in the current meta. Including replays is recommended to further support the validity of your core! Make sure to include what style of team the core works well on (balance, stall, offense, hyper offense, etc.)
4. Creativity is always allowed and encouraged with this project, but make sure the Pokemon in the submitted core are not Pokemon that have very small/situational niches (i.e, two unviable ZU Pokemon; see the VR)

Vanilluxe @ Choice Specs
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest / Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Blizzard
- Freeze-Dry
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fighting]
Comfey @ Life Orb
Ability: Triage
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Draining Kiss
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Taunt / Giga Drain
Never actually used this core, but I've played against it one too many times and its so annoying to deal with. Basically, Vanilluxe takes care of most of the things that walls Comfey while Comfey sets up on most of the things that come in to revenge kill Vanilluxe.
Triage is such a disgusting ability, as the things that would normally revenge kill you don't due to +3 priority Draining Kiss or Giga Drain. Fairy + Ground coverage pretty much hits most of the meta for neutral, leaving only Golbat, Zard and Weezing as decent switch ins. None of them appreciates taking a Blizzard and the first and last of the three are pretty easily worn down due to the amount of stuff they have to check.
With good hazard control (Xatu etc.), this core can easily ravage offensive teams and while bulkier teams scrambling for Vanilluxe switch ins will eventually get swept by Comfey. Try the core, I promise it's stupid good.
Happy submitting! A quick reminder that this project can only stay alive if you guys submit your cores!
