Okay there is an Infernape. It does OHKO almost everything.
Hm like mine ? But mine could also kill the scarfer and take a hit.
Why don't you talk about it Mewtwo ? Why don't you say, that Keldeo does also revenge kill it (like you do for Volcarona, but at least Volcarona can boost and then Keldeo is helpless).
The reason why I feel Ape is a far stronger choice than Volcarona (as well as the other suggestions, believe or not I'm not trying to pick on you) is because it has a SR neutrality, doesn't take LO recoil and can blindly CC/Fthrower/U-Turn its way all over the opposing team. We could try to bring in Keldeo to revenge kill it (which is the best thing Team 2 can do sadly) except that won't accomplish nearly as much as it does with Volca since Ape doesn't lose half its HP being forced to switch out.
And the issue is Scizor, but it's also your Skarmory. Don't think you're not also the culprit of this situation. Half the picks in this project are yours. This thing in itself is already ridiculous, but to be honest, the fight won't even be interesting because there are tons of flaws in the teams and this is something you cannot deny. Now that I look at Skarmory, why in the world it does not have Brave Bird. You really thought you were be peacefully stack spikes and sr ?
I had asked others opinions at the time and that moveslot changed a lot. Brave Bird was considered one of the lesser options as it ate up Skarm's HP and let Cube get easy setup. (Even with Ape going to be picked I still feel Whirlwind was better for these reasons.)
So why my Infernape was not picked already ? Ah yes, it can't wall the sweepers of the opposing team.
This one does not at all too, it's even worse. How do you deal with Keldeo's coverage ? Secret Sword can still wreck his "counter". He can't come on Keldeo and gets outsped.
Oh, I forgot, mine also had SR.
Different sets for different teams under different circumstances. This Ape can switch into any of Scizor's attacks at least 3-4 times while threatening to sweep the rest of the team and without the fear of any counter picks taking advantage of it. Your's couldn't switch into Mamoswine more than once (and had to predict to come in on Heracross) while having a weaker matchup against the opposing team who still had a pick left that they could use to counter it.
Don't get me wrong this is a good nomination, especially as it shows all the contradictions in here. I don't even want to read what you'll try to find to justify the situation once again.
It's the perfect nomination, you can't legitimately ask any more out of it. I'll put this in hide tags so you view the thread without looking at my responses if you like.
PS : I think the blind picks are also the good idea. Or, you can add an extra round, in which each team can change one thing after the 6 picks.
But I also think that the nominations were just leaving so many flaws that the situation became ridiculous. It's because they weren't wise, and did not take into account the futures picks at all (but they claimed that they do).
Of course there are holes, the project requires multiple people with very varied team-building perspectives to put one together.
