we will become who we are meant to be
Hello, guys! Most of you probably know me already, and the ones who don't; hi.
As a battler, I really like having critic after I make a team. So after I got into LC for a while, and became actually good in that tier, I discovered Little Cup DST - which in there I saw a very unique thread. When I saw this, I was thinking of taking it into Ubers, which would also raise the activity in the forum, and would also raise the activity in the Ubers ladder of Smogon. That thread was, of course, CCAT.
The point of CCAT is to create a team that is both competitive, and both innovative. Bringing something rather fresh into the metagame, that is not used much.
Process:
Please stay related to the topic.Step 1 (Poll is going up on Nov 6th!): We are going to start by picking which forgotten Pokemon (and set) we are going to be basing the team around. This does NOT mean the Pokemon has to be the late game sweeper, it means the team will be built around that Pokemon, whatever role it plays. This thread is for nominating Pokemon to be added to a poll (Pokemon that you think fit the description of a "forgotten" Pokemon). After a couple of days (probably around one-two days, until enough pokemon are in the poll (around 10), I will select which Pokemon are going to be in the poll that will be posted after we decide on a list of Pokemon. This means you have to convince me, and others, that your Pokemon is worth being put in the vote.
Note: A "Forgotten Wonder" is something is less used then the average OU Pokemon / set, but is still powerful enough to be used in the standard metagame. Plus, test your suggestion before submitting it!
Note 2: You can suggest forgotten "sets", for example Offensive Lugia is an option even though Defensive Lugia is by far more used.
Step 2: We select what style of team we want to make. This will likely include something along the lines of Offense, Bulky Offense, Stall, Trick Room, and possibly more.
→Step 3: We select Pokemon that work well around our Pokemon and fit the team style and test it.
Step 4: We finalize the team and write up a 5-star RMT!
With that said, we can get going! Start submitting your suggestions, remember that they should function well in the current metagame.
