Audino and Stunfisk come together to form a nice defensive core!
Both can sponge hits from different spectrums for each other and provide their own support for the team in this way. With Audino keeping itself healthy via the combo of Wish+Tect, Regen, and Leftovers and sharing it's wealth of HP with Stunfisk ala wishpass, on paper this combo sounds unbeatable! Of course, they're not. Both are still susceptible to strong enough attacks and wear and tear. Stunfisk especially, so as always, play conservatively when need be and be sure to take into consideration just what needs to be dealt with to secure your line to victory. These mons still need 4 more dudes to round em out! Perhaps more offensive answers to the metagame? PU's biggest threats still lurk.

Sorry if it seems a bit early to end the round, but i'm expected elsewhere now and that means more traveling and less opportunity to post. That and the round was supposed to start days earlier, sorry for that, but that's the reason I set the deadline a few hours earlier. ^^;
I did fail to warn you all, especially those of you accustomed to the usual timeframe and last minute voting, by making it more apparent though so my earnest apologies for that. I'll be sure to be more attentive.

Careful Nature

- Double-Edge

suggesting the best special tank and wish passer in PU
So this is p basic Audino in PU. It's by far the best Wish passer in the tier due to having Regenerator and high HP and defenses. Wishtect is almost always going to be on this guy, Double-Edge is it's best move by far and since it's attacks stats are an even 60/60 you can use attack just as well as special attack. It can be used to finish off less bulky/frail Pokemon or you can trick an opponent into thinking you'll wishtect or switch the next turn and BAM. Double-Edged like that. Encore is to provide safer switch-in opportunities by predicting status moves or the like, slashed Heal Bell for the amazing party status heal and Toxic for those pesky sashed Shedinjas, or to just whittle down an opponents HP/status them if you can't hit them, it's especially good against Dusclops/Dusknoir. Overall, working around Audino is quite easy due to it's Normal type and superb defensive abilities, with no Megas in this tier, there's not much to worry about. Especially since Machoke just got the banhammer. The only other Fighting type is Monferno, and it doesn't see too much use due to being hella frail. Other than that we'll need a Pokemon to break through Pokemon like Probopass and Mawile who totally wall and counter our lovely little nurse.
Stunfisk @ Leftovers
Ability: Static
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Discharge
- Earth Power
- Toxic
Speakin of pulverized pancakes, here comes PU's premier physical wall; Stunfisk! The EV spread is for an odd number of HP and the speed is to outspeed Hippopotas by 2 points. Really feelin Stunfisk would work great with Audino as she can take on the special moves that would really threaten Stunfisks' safety and Stunfisk can soak up physical attacks such as Monfernos Close Combat, Dodrios Brave Birds, and the like and threaten them with the Static chance. Which is especially important as anything physical will be especially reluctant to click an offensive move with the paralysis chance lurking. A rocker, Discharge to further increase para chances and and Earth Power to round out coverage for opposing Electric types, Steel types, and Rock types especially for Audino. Toxic can work extremely well with Audinos wishing for obvious reasons. Really, i'd say both of them form a pretty unique defensive core. You'd be surprised at just how tanky this flapjack is.

Leafeon @Life Orb
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 Spe / 252 Att / 4 Def
Jolly Nature
-Leaf Blade
-Knock Off
-Swords Dance
-X-Scissor/Synthesis
Leafeon is a really strong Pokemon in PU with a great mix of stats being 65/110/130/60/65/95 it has great physical defense and some pretty dang good attack and speed to go along with it. It also has access to Chlorophyll, so on the off chance that your opponent has something with Sunny Day, you'll be hella quick. Leaf Blade is standard STAB for Leafeon, nice base 90 power WITH an additional boosted crit chance?! Heck yes. Knock Off is for pesky Pokemon that carry Lefties that can cause a major problem like Grumpig and even Gourgeist-XL, it's also great to use on any Pokemon in this tier due to Mega Stones not being a thing in it! Swords Dance is great for boosting that Attack stat to become even more threatening, especially if you send Leafeon out on a Pokemon like Golem or Floatzel who have trouble dealing with Leafeon's amazing defense stat. X-Scissor is for coverage against Dark/Psychic/Grass types and slashed Synthesis for immediate recovery, I mean you may need it when using Life Orb!

Rotom F is a strong opponent in the pu meta game. It can cover a lot of stunfisk counters as well as switch and scout a guys team with the choice scarf set I have right here. Blizzard its main stab is not the most accurate move but it will get the job done taking out the golems and leafeons we dont want

Tangela @ Eviolite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Sleep Powder
- Leaf Storm
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Fire]
(other moves: Sludge Bomb, Ancient Power, Stun Spore)
Forms a Regenerator core with Audino and has some nice synergy with Stunfisk, resisting water and ground while Stunfisk resists poison and flying. Due to Eviolite, Tangela can afford to run max special attack instead of more bulk. Sleep Powder offers some nice utility by punishing switches, max special attack Leaf Storm hits like a truck, Giga Drain is consistent stab with the added recovery bonus, and HP Fire is coverage, hitting Grass, Bug, Steel types. Stun Spore is another option, providing some nice speed control. Ancient Power hits fire and flying types while Sludge Bomb hits opposing Grass types harder and can spread poison.
