DTC · Sep 21st, 2012, 10:58:35 PM

Welcome to the pilot of the newest NU forum project, Pokemon of the Week. You will probably be familiar with it if you frequent the UU, RU, or RoA Smogon Metagame sub-forum, but for those of you who are new to this, I will explain it.

The purpose of this project is twofold: to discuss prominent NU Pokemon and serve as a guide of sorts to newer players. A new Pokemon will be discussed each week. Feel free to share your experiences with the Pokemon, their role in the NU metagame, creative sets you've came up with that are effective, etc.

There is also a page on-site in the NU hub that will detail all of the NU Pokemon of the Week. It can be found Here

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first Pokemon of the Week is:

Ludicolo
Type: Water / Grass
Base Stats: 80 HP / 70 Atk / 70 Def / 90 SpA / 100 SpD / 70 Spe
Ability: Swift Swim, Rain Dish, Own Tempo

Ludicolo has been rapidly increasing in popularity recently. Lots of NU players agree that it's one of, if not the best sweeper in NU. It's incredibly potent and also more versatile than people give it credit for. Surely the rise in rain teams lately attests to how effective Ludicolo is. What do you guys think of Ludicolo?
