SS PU Good Cores
Welcome to the PU Good Cores thread, where you can post, discuss, and debate about an essential part of teambuilding: the synergy between certain Pokemon.
Using the cores posted below can make your team better in a lot of ways, either by helping the team with covering common threats, or by providing your team with strong offensive synergy. For example: Thievul can be built together with Pincurchin, since they make a good offensive core thanks to the electric terrain that allows activating thievul Unburden's ability that helps to make a good sweep with an NP.
How to post your core
The main objective of this thread is for any PU player to publish their cores to help other users in team building. The file will update every time a good kernel is added to the thread.
For posting your core, you NEED to:
Show the members of the core (with sprites, if possible);
Say what type of core it is, if it's defensive-, offensive-, or balance-based;
Provide an importable of the movesets that will be used in said core;
Give an explanation of how the core works together in the current meta.
Here have a example of SM PU Core:

Scyther and Lanturn have terrific type synergy as they cover each others weaknesses perfectly. Lanturn acts as the slow pivot allowing Scyther to come in for free off of a slow Volt Switch. Scyther is able to set up on opposing threats and works as a fantastic late game sweeper. These Pokemon cover each others weaknesses terrifically and are great for gaining Momentum on the opposing team.
