Two competitive teams I'll never forget:
Gen 3 OU: Alakazam, Zapdos, Exeguttor (with my very own bulky set with Wish, Hidden Power Ice, Leech Seed and Explosion), Choice Band Donphan, Blissey and Gyarados
Pretty standard team for the most part, but Exeguttor and Donphan turned out to be the unexpected stars of my team. Exeguttor could tank almost any hit back in gen 3 (even a Hidden Power Flying from Salamence), completely shat on Blissey and always got those crucial kills with Explosion. CB Donphan just hit like a truck for gen 3 standards and dealing 80% damage to Celebi with HP Bug was just amazing.
My other favorite team is the single most successful team:
Gen 4 UU before Smogon's tier reform: bulky Wish Jynx, Blastoise, Choice Specs Venusaur, Nidoqueen, Aerodactyl and Articuno
Interestingly enough, it ended up being a full genwun team but it tore apart the UU ladder on Shoddy Battle. I had some people who recognized me rage quit as soon as they got matched up against me and the only thing that had any hope of breaking my stall was a Gorebyss in the rain. There was only one person ahead of me on the ladder and that's because with the amount of points I got for each game, it would have taken me over 100 wins to replace him and then Aerodactyl became OU and my offensive core fell apart.
The metagames that gave rise to these teams may be dead, but my bros live on in my heart.
