What I meant was, will the final choice be kept secret, I have no qualms posting helpful set ideas in the thread.First off, thanks for joining. Second of all, I would keep it secret but posting helpful sets in the thread would be great.

No, final choices are going to be put on the thread each round. It'll be easier for the opponent team to prepare for, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.What I meant was, will the final choice be kept secret, I have no qualms posting helpful set ideas in the thread.
Signing up for using the two teams will happen at the end of the project.So... Just to clarify, we are signing up for a team to deliberate upon making a selection of a pokemon and moveset corresponding to our choice (either offensive or defensive), but we are not signing up to battle, correct?
Regardless of the answer to my question, I will apply:
Dr. Eyepatch
Defensive
I have been around for several generations of pokemon, and whenever I find myself building a team from the ground-up, it always ends up defensive. I feel that a defensive-oriented team is the path traveled less than that of an offensive one. When it comes to strategy games, those who know me are familiar with my unusual, yet surprisingly effective approach to things.
You know, I'll let that go either way.Question: what would this set come under?
Malamar@Assault Vest
Contrary
Adamant
252HP/252Sp.Def/4Def
Rock Slide
Superpower
Payback
Psycho Cut
Sure, it has four attacking moves, but it more functions as a slow booster, using the contrary Superpower boosts to overwhelm the opponent.
YESYESYES, I have used this core many many times and can vouch for its solidity. The best possible partner for this set is Heatran, as he gets SR and leaves a slot open for Skarmory, covers Skarm's fire weakness, and Gastrodon's grass. Likewise, Gastrodon covers Heatran just as well, Flash Fire + Storm Drain is a match made in heaven. This set is optimal:In that case I would like to help out a little since I want to see someone improve this core:
Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Roost
- Defog / Spikes
- Taunt / Stealth Rock
- Brave Bird / Toxic
Gastrodon @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 SAtk
Calm Nature
- Recover
- Scald
- Toxic
- Earth Power
They resist or are immune to each others weaknesses, and Gastrodon can absorb the Hydro Pumps and Waterfalls from the common rain offense teams.
Between them they have:
10 resistances (Normal, Flying, Rock, Steel (both), Fire, Bug, Grass, Psychic, Dragon, Fairy)
4 immunities (Poison, Electric, Ground, Water)
leaving just neutralities to Fighting, Ghost, and Dark. Which a Bisharp partner can handle and, if Skarmory does not run Defog, pressure other Defoggers while pressuring Ghosts. Ghost and Fighting resistances are pretty common in the metagame now, so you can easily add one on, especially since Bisharp should not be relied on to take hits, but can if it needs to due to a decent Defense stat.
I was hoping someone would say something like this :]I would like to be part of the defensive team because I feel like defensive teams are very underated compared to the super common hyper offense teams but they are very good and when built right are very challenging to take down.
You put me in defensive, lol XDI was hoping someone would say something like this :]
Oops, lolYou put me in defensive, lol XD
Wait for round 1 to start. Sets would preferred to be discussed here, as this project is supposed to help other players. Personal conversations can be held too.Were and when would we make make the sets and pokemon? Would we just do it heer for everyone to see or somewhere Else?
ok thenWait for round 1 to start.
