With the recent bans and the still recent release of Sun and Moon, the time is right to explore the new metagame in the best way possible: teambuilding! And, of course, who better to teambuild with than the entire LC community? Just like last generation, this project aims to have the community work together to build a competitively viable LC team, one Pokemon at a time. In the first round, people will submit a Pokemon or core which they would like to see a team built around. In subsequent rounds, people will submit Pokemon that complement what is already on the team. At the end of each round, people can vote on what they like the most, and the submission with the most votes will be added to the team. Ideally, this project will allow newcomers to LC to see how more experienced players go about building an team.

Rules
- Please refrain from posting bad or not viable sets. Innovation is fine, but I reserve the right to exclude sets that just wouldn't work from voting.
- When posting a Pokemon, post it with a moveset, and a few sentences of description on why you think it fits the team and why you chose the moveset you chose.
- When voting, you can only select one submission. Explanations of votes are nice but not required.
- Feel free to discuss other submissions, but please only refute others' sets with solid reasoning (as opposed to "I hate Snivy so I don't want to include it).
