Cores are the pillars of team building, and all of us have used at least one of them, intentionally or not. Cores consists of two to three Pokemon that can achieve a certain goal, be it offensively or defensively. These Pokemon can either go in tandem to beat out their respective checks or counters or can work together to give each other a good set of resistances to last long enough in a match. In ORAS Ubers, diversity is never lacking, and there are a lot of Pokemon here that can be grouped in a core and help its teammates come out victorious in matches.
With that in mind, the purpose of this thread is to compile good cores that can be used in ORAS Ubers to help out new and old players alike have fresh ideas when it comes to building teams. Feel free to post your own here, or take some that are already posted.
Some rules I'd like to be followed when posting:
1. Feel free to comment on the posts other users make, but please keep discussions civil.
2. If ever, please post cores in this order: box sprites, core description, and sets.
3. When posting cores, please add a brief explanation on the sets, why you chose those Pokemon / sets to be in the same core and an importable. It would be appreciated if you add good teammates to the core as well as the Pokemon / things the core is weak to. (It'd be nice to add which type of core you'd like to post to help me out a little bit. Thanks!)
Also, a hectic life means I can't update this as much as I want to but rest assured, I'll do my best to keep this interesting enough for you guys.
That's all the basic things to keep in mind when posting here. With that said, happy posting everyone!

Archived Old Cores from the Old Thread:
Offensive Cores
Mewtwo X and Primal Kyogre actually make a pretty good offensive pair in my experience. Mewtwo X is able to 2HKO max HP Primal Groudon with Low Kick after Stealth Rock, dealing enough damage so that a +1 Blizzard from Primal Kyogre can KO even fully SDef versions of Groudon. And since people will often switch in their Groudon in on Mewtwo because SDef is usually a full on counter to other Mewtwo formes, it is pretty easy to make this happen in an actual battle. But Mewtwo X can also lure in Kyogre's other biggest checks, the Lati twins. With Ice Punch, it can score a solid 2HKO on both of them (OHKOing Latios after SR damage). And after an Ice Punch from Mewtwo, neither Latios nor Latias will be able to switch in on even an unboosted Blizzard from Kyogre, let alone one at +1. Weaknesses to the core include Xerneas and Giratina-O, both switch in on Mewtwo X pretty easily, and Kyogre can't switch in on either. Solid defensive partners like Primal Groudon, Arceus Rock, Klefki, Giratina-O etc. work well with this pair. Give it a shot next time you want to use Primal Kyogre.
This core features CB Ho-Oh and standard GeoXern. Most of GeoXern's checks, like aegislash and scizor, are mons that Ho-Oh can easily force out. CB Ho-Oh is a really good wallbreaker, and sacred fire helps it burn everything in sight, which causes lots of residual damage, that can also stack with potential hazards like stealth rocks and spikes. All of this residual damage makes Xerneas's job of sweeping even easier, because when lots of stuff has been weakened, it can easily set up a geomancy and proceed to wreck house by spamming moonblast. Ho-Oh + Xerneas is a very threatening offensive core, and both mons hit extremely hard. SR support and possibly spikes is really nice, because it lets Ho-Oh abuse the huge amount of switches that it forces, which makes cleaning really easy. However, this core is pretty weak to E-Killer and opposing Ho-Oh, so good switch ins to those are appreciated.
Mega gengar and PDon work quite well together, which isn't surprising seeing that they are both very good pokemon.The goal of this core is to use Mega Gengar to trap and kill checks to PDon like Lugia,Lati@s,Skarmory,Arceus-Ground,Bronzong :] and others. After Mega Gengar eliminates all of PDon's checks and counters on the opposing team all you need to do is find a good set up opportunity and sweep the opposing team, this core also fits very well on pretty much every offensive team since these pokemon pair very well with almost every pokemon used in offense.There really isn't much else to it, easy and effective.

OFFENSE CORES
This is an offensive core bent on Gengar trapping and removing Rock-types for the two birds while also performing a decent hazard control roll due to its ability to trap Stealth Rock setters. Because Ho-Oh's role as a rock weakener and fairy-type switch-in is lessened, it can the use the full on power of a Choice Band in order to spam some of the strongest Brave Birds in the game. Yveltal is using a Dread Plate instead of a Life Orb because of U-Turn + Life Orb not being the best combination in the world. pair this core with another form of hazard control and a Kyogre check component and it will go far.

The next core I am going to talk about revolves around a shuca berry Dialga lead. This core is a hyper offense which purpose is to weaken opposing Primal-Groudons with earth power and also set up rocks. This allows common threats that are checked by Primal-Groudon to seriously damage the opposing team or essentially sweep. The other two core members consist of Xerneas and Mega-Salamence but more can be added as needed.

This is an offensive special attacking core supported by Spikes. Fairy / Psychic / Dark cores have been very consistent ever since the start of XY, as their ability to cover each others weaknesses is very sufficient, making for nice defensive and offensive cores. Klefki provides Spikes and a check to Dark-types and Fairy-types, as well as Toxic to wear down Mewtwo's checks. Alternatively, Safeguard can counterlead Darkrai and prevent status to ease Mewtwo's set ups. Mewtwo with Spikes support is very threatening, especially when its only relevant check in Yveltal is an easy switch in for Klefki in order to set Spikes or spread status. With Taunt it keeps down hazards, as well as stop clerics from healing the status Klefki spreads. Calm Mind allows it to clean late game, and it applies equally as much pressure as Taunt does to clerics, with the added boon of breaking down stall teams much easier. It stacks checks with Yveltal very well, overwhelming Tyranitar, Klefki, Xerneas, and Dark Arceus. Yveltal checks Ghost types which can wear down Klefki and force out Mewtwo. Yveltal may run Heat Wave to lure in Klefki and eliminate it to ease Mewtwo's sweep, but Taunt is generally better for the consistency it serves versus stall.

DEFENSE CORES
This is a defensive core that also doubles as a hazard core for one of its members. Mega Sableye keeps Spikes away for Arceus-Water and also stops Stealth Rock for Lugia. It check E-Killer handily and can be used to blanket very passive Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and opposing Lugia. Arceus-Water uses Defog against Primal Groudon and aids Lugia and other team members against Ho-Oh or Salamence. If Groudon is running a Swords Dance Stealth Rock set, Lugia can bail Arceus-Water out in a pinch after Stealth Rock has been removed and needs to be set up again. This core needs a solid Kyogre switch in with the best for it being support or stall Primal Groudon because it helps Lugia out with Xerneas and Zekrom also.

So I guess I'll contribute to this thread... This is a stall core that is pretty standard but I decided to add it anyways because there was no stall team cores yet. Skarmory is a great defensive pokemon that is able to shuffle mon, set up spikes, and reliably toxic people. Arceus-Water is used to cover the fire weakness (Primal-Groudon) that Skarmory suffers to. Finally Blissey is used to reliably counter Primal-Kyogre that run thunder which would otherwise be able to 1HKO and 2HKO Skarmory and Arceus-Water respectively. Running shed bell is necessary so Blissey cannot be trapped and taunted by Mega-Gengar.

BALANCE CORES
This is a Fire / Water / Grass core. Power Whip Ferrothorn is chosen to handle Kyogre while Arceus-Water is used to Defog on most Stealth Rock setters with the most notable being Primal Groudon. Judgment or Ice Beam is a decision based on what threatens your team most, Salamence or Ho-Oh. Ferrothorn soft checks E-Killer and hard checks Kyogre, Latias, and Latios. Arceus-Water checks mence or Ho-Oh and Primal Groudon while also being a Defog user for Ho-Oh and carrying Toxic for things like Lugia who has trouble using Toxic back because of Ferrothorn. Ho-Oh slows down Xerneas, manhandles Fairy-types and Steel-types, and does pressures key members on an opponent's team. The core itself is pretty clean cut, so there isn't much variability to it.

This is a reliable hazard core. Tyranitar and Excadrill handily take care of Stealth Rock from Deoxys-S, Dialga (most of the time), other Tyranitar, and Mega Diancie, while Arceus-Water does so against Primal Groudon who is by far the most common user of the move. With how strong Pokemon like Ho-Oh and Lugia are in this metagame, this sort of hazard core can help them to achieve their full potential of dominating large quantities of the metagame. It works best on balanced teams and a Primal Groudon will be helpful but is not required. Tyranitar is also a Stealth Rock setter as an added bonus.
"*On a side note to Wreckdra's sand core I would suggest running Shuca Berry TTar instead of lefties on TTar as it is able to check Mega-Mence better which can tend to be tedious for sand teams. Also running Life Orb over Air Balloon is worth a mention on Excadrill due to the power increase" - Konzern

The next core is a balance core that was popular during UPL. The core consist of Forretress, Mega-Aerodactyl and Arceus-Ghost. Forretress is able to get of hazards while Mega-Aerodactyl taunts common defog users with its incredible speed tier. Finally Arceus-Ghost stops pokemon to rapid spin away the hazards. Arceus-Ghost is also able to put offense pressure on the opponent especially with hazards on the field.
