With PBL2's drafting period almost over and games getting ready to begin, I thought that it'd be good to make a thread in which players can dump any teams/sets that they used during the PBL season along with reasoning for decisions within the teams, explanations of specific sets and such. Ideally people would post their team after every week, but really you should use this thread as you see fit and I strongly encourage regular contribution to this resource.
This will also encourage buddying up with people to practice the matchups on Pokémon Showdown! and see how the teams match up to the team of the person they are attempting to counterteam/counterstyle in practice rather than just relying on theory. If you're gonna show off a team you want it to be effective in practice, so make sure to do this rather than just theorymonning your way through PBL2!
Tagging all PBL2 participants to bring this thread to their attention:

Post sets and teams using the following set format:
Bulbasaur @ Eviolite
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

The IVs thing is only applicable if there are any modified IVs; simply omit it if you do not use it.
Good luck to everyone in PBL2!
