OU CCAT- Edition 3, Electrolyte style
Hello everybody! It's that time of year again- where we crank up our teambuilding skills and, as a community, create a team to help us gain more understanding of our new BW2 metagame. Hence, the name Community Create A Team! For those of you who have no idea how this works, please check out Edition 1 and 2, led by the best of Pocket and Ginganinja.
Now that a ton of fresh, new, pokemon, abilities, and movesets have been allowed, it's time we make a fresh, new team as well. In the last CCAT, a couple new changes were implemented- including the vote for a checklist of teams. This time, I'm adding two more changes- a bonus voting point system, and a retake of the basic stages.
BONUS VOTING POINT SYSTEM- many different voting systems have been used on Smogon in the past. Everything from holding a council to a public vote to even a plain dictated vote has been used. This time, our voting system will be a different form of a public vote, what I call a bonus voting point system. This is basically just a public vote- but with a little reward added into it. There will be a total of at least 6 public votes throughout this project. Everyone that submits a winning idea (1st come, 1st serve) will get +0.5 voting points. Keep in mind, voters recieve no change- only the submitters. From the start, everyone has 1 voting point- which basically means that your vote counts as 1. Once you win a round, however, your vote rises and suddenly counts as 1.5 votes. Although this might not seem like much in the beginning, it quickly racks up, and can be the major deciding point of some close cut votes. People that win multiple votes will continue to gain +0.5 voting points.
BASIC STAGE CHANGE- Previous CCATs have always been centered around a single, underused pokemon. This time, we're going to try something different. Instead of basing it around one pokemon, our main focus will be one strategy. In the first vote, we'll decide the team's strategy- be it Volt-Turn, Weather Stall, Balanced, Baton Pass, Field Effect abuse, or anything in between. I will specify this more in the next post.
Here's a list of the basic stages we will check off during our project.
- Pre-Team voting. A total of one vote will be made during this stage. This is the most important stage of this project, as it dictates the direction we will go, and what we'll base our team off of. Team Strategy will be voted here.
- Team voting. A total of 6 votes will be made during this stage. Remember, this is 6 votes, unlike previous CCATs where this took only 5 votes. Here, we will choose what 6 pokemon we will use to best represent the strategy we decided.
- Perfection. In this step, we'll fine tune the team. Fine tuning won't have any votes, just the community agreeing together as to what changes should be made. Depending on activity, a tourney may also be held. If so, a vote will be carried out, and we will go from there. An RMT could also be written.
