Project The Next Best Thing

[The Quasar]

it was because staryu is boring and i want pancham

you're not late, i'm just invoking tier leader privilege

Usually in a scenario like this (in real life but also in virtual community), I ask to people what I prefer/I would like about. You could suggest me next pokemon and I would be happy to follow you. I would have just chosen Pancham, just ORAS will be OK.

Never mind, I'll change image and I'll archive Staryu's set.

It's time to vote (until 23rd November, 4 PM EST)

WildHope's Wild Yakusa set

Adam Lampert's akaTimbur set

 

[Shrug]

this might have been blara's last use of tier leader power glad it was for a good cause

User Pancham's Pancham seems objectively better than probably the best set-up sweeper in the meta so that i guess

 

[sparktrain]

Adam Lambert

stronger faster Timburr with Mold Breaker is excellent

Adam shows us the real best thing coming for ORAS.

Adam see Max's for my reason.

Voting Pancham's Pancham (lol) because Bulk Up Pancham is a cool sweeper :]

(But I really liked WildHope's set too, it looked like fun to use as a new mon on voltturn)

 

[Melon]

Wild Hope needs some love :(

 

[Oma]

Wild Hope because pivoting is neat

 

[boo836]

Wildhope's is definitely the better set. Pancham doesn't outclass Timburr without Mach Punch, js.

Also it's like one of the best pivots in the game

i agree with boo, i'd go timburr if i wanted bulk up. And slashing parting shot in a set that has bulk up is weird. Pancham's best set is as a pivot with parting shot and knock off and gunk shot allowing you to break through fairies and helping teammates set up, with drain punch to keep healthy.

set shouldn't have iron fist as a slash though, mold breaker is much more beneficial

[The Quasar]

Adam Lampert is the winner with his BulkUp Pancham.

I'm probably going to suspend this thread down and I will reopen it two week around after ORAS is out and implemented on the server. So appointment to 7th December for next mon (with Pancham too?)

Skrelp @ Eviolite
Ability: Adaptability
Level: 5
EVs: 116 HP / 196 Def / 36 SpA / 116 SpD / 36 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Sludge Wave
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Skrelp has a great defensive typing but what really hold it back from being a defensive Pokémon is its lack of recovery however Rest kind of fixes that. Scald is a STAB that hits hard thanks to Adaptability and can spread burns, Sludge Wave is also another cool STAB that hits hard too. Nothing special.

Skrelp @ Life Orb
Ability: Adaptability
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 36 Def / 200 SpA / 36 SpD / 200 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Sludge Wave
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Icy Wind

My LO Icy Wind set, I've explained it before in this post

 

[Star]

Skrelp @ Eviolite
Ability: Adaptability
Level: 5
EVs: 116 HP / 196 Def / 36 SpA / 116 SpD / 36 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Cuter than yaguras. also tspikes are actually rlly fckin good if u dont have a croagunk.

 

[gali]

Skrelp @ Life Orb
Ability: Adaptability
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 36 Def / 200 SpA / 36 SpD / 200 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Venoshock
- Toxic Spikes
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Basically, you use one of the many switches Skrelp forces to set up Toxic Spikes, and then begin OHKOing everything with Adaptability Venoshock. Everything else is pretty standard.

 

[sparktrain]

topkek (Skrelp) @ Life Orb
Ability: Adaptability
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 36 Def / 196 SpA / 36 SpD / 200 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Sludge Wave
- Thunderbolt / Icy Wind
- Hidden Power [Psychic]

196+ SpA Life Orb Skrelp Hidden Power Psychic vs. 132 HP / 116 SpD Eviolite Croagunk: 26-31 (113 - 134.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Ferro walls you I guess, but you lure out Croagunk and kill it which is super nice.
