Pokemon VGC 17 Team Building ideas

Hey, Everyone! Welcome back! My name is Ryan (Pbrabbit) Hebert! I am a Competitive VGC Pokemon Player. 2017 has been a year of much-needed diversity. From VGC 2016 with THE BIG SIX, to 2015, with all the teams being pretty much the same, it's been a few years now since we've had some fun, like Se-jun Park in 2014 with his outstanding Pacharisu! I am so grateful to finally be able to grab onto such an interesting competitive year and just run with it!

The Trainer I aspire to BE!

For all of you who do not know me, I am a freshman at DePaul University, studying for a BFA in Theatre Arts. I am also a long time fan of Pokemon. Starting off with Pokemon Ruby, collecting a few cards here and there. I got to where I am now because of my pull into the game. I love it 100% and I would never give it up. Now enough about me, time to get started on what I have for you all!

2 weeks ago, I designed 12+ teams while I was in class. I am going to list some EV spreads and moves below and then I will post a number of Showdown videos of myself using the team This way you can see it on paper, and see how it works! Each team has a name and I am super excited to share these with you all! I just want to ask that if you are going to use this team, please, credit me, even if you change it up, just note that this was the source the original idea came from. I love you all, have fun experimenting!

Just a side note, these teams are not perfect, they may fail, or they even may work. What I want is for all of you to take what you like and run with it!!!

Here is the complete list of teams. Below this picture I have done a couple of sets for you and done some battles to see how they do!

Class Thoughts #7 is Let it Snow with Some Tricks and Class Thoughts #1 is Snorlax, are you Mimiking Me?
