Just a quick thing to point out, if you're asking for help for a team or Pokemon, please specify the following things:

1) Is it in-game or competitive? They're both really different aspects, in-game is generally more lax, while competitive will require harder training such as EVs. And a note for anyone helping out, don't just dismiss in-game teams. Help them out rather than just saying "You can just level up and win". They have posted for help for a reason, so actually give it to them.

2) Which generation is it? Generation III and IV have not only massively different game mechanics, but Pokemon and attacks - so if you don't specify what Generation it is you're training for, there's no real way you can be given accurate help.

3) Moveset nicknames. Don't use them. Just don't. No Tyraniboahs or Curselaxes, just post the moveset itself. The names are stupid, not everyone will know what they mean and they're just unhelpful. So don't use them - you will be warned against them.

4) The Clinic section of the site may re-open in the future, so be aware that any teams/Pokemon you post for help may later be used on the site too. Though I have no plans to follow the section up myself in the near future.
