RMT of the Week V5: Week 37

[IronBullet]

RMT of the Week
co-hosted by Team Pokepals and Snowy.​

Want your team noticed by a lot of people? Do you want all the efforts you put into testing your team and writing up your RMT to count? This is where RMT of the Week comes in! The aim of this project is to give people who put effort into making quality RMTs the attention they deserve. There are a lot of teams out there that are well-built and presented, but often left in the dark. Not anymore!

Concept

• Every week, we will nominate a few teams as candidates for the RMT of the Week.
• These teams are put in a poll. Everyone can vote for the team they think is most deserving of the award.
• At the end of the week, the winner will be the team that receives the most votes.

Prizes

So what's in it for the winners? Well, the winning team will be announced on social media. It will also be recorded in the Hall of Fame, which will be posted in the OP for each week, and people are encouraged to rate it. Winning the RMT of the Week also increases the chance of having your RMT added to the Team Showcase, subject to review, since it brings it to the notice of the staff. Finally, the winner will have an opportunity to give a brief interview.

RMT Requirements

• Make sure your team is viable and effective: This one is self-explanatory. If your team doesn't fit into its tier or metagame, or lacks any kind of success, it won't have a high chance of being selected. It doesn't have to be archive worthy though, and it doesn't have to have peaked at #1; a moderately successful team can make it, but it has to work.
• Your team should be well-presented: Wouldn't you enjoy posting in a thread more if it was visually appealing? If you put effort into presenting your team attractively, people will be more willing to rate it. We appreciate it when you take time to improve the quality of your RMTs, as it enhances the quality of the forum.
• Be nice and receptive to people's opinions: No one likes to rate the team of a close-minded person!

For those whose teams are selected, don't ask anyone, be it friends or anyone else, on the forums or on PS! to vote for you. For friends of the people whose teams get selected, the same goes for you as well: please don't post the link in chat rooms to try and get people to vote.

The first time someone is caught cheating, their team will be disqualified and removed from the ongoing week. If someone is caught cheating for a second time, they will be permanently banned from the project.

Caught up with last week's winner James Jimmy to ask him a few questions about his Ubers RMT, Phantom Force!

1. Can you give a brief description of your team? What do you think is the reason behind its success?

As I say in my RMT, the team focuses on E-Killer (Arceus-Normal), one of the best sweepers in the ORAS Ubers metagame, as a late-game sweeper. Its synergy with Mega Gengar and Rayquaza is amazing, as they take care of all its usual checks. Various people have used it on both the ladder and tournamets and have succeeded mainly because it's easy to use, even for newer players. The Rayquaza set in particular has surprised lots and lots of people thinking they can check it with Bronzong, Arceus-Dragon or bringing in Mega Salamence. I've had lots of fun using this set.

2. Have you received any useful feedback for your team?

Yes, some of the rates I got where very useful, both on my thread and on PS!. I had lots of discussions via PM with various users on PS! about this team (who also helped me test it) so I can't really name all of them. But thanks to everyone, especially in the Ubers room!

3. Is there any advice you'd like to give to RMT posters?

Try to make your RMTs as easy and fun to read as possible, straight to the point, and be as consistent as possible with your wording and spelling. Also, try to get a good artist for a nice banner, be extra careful about your layout and maybe get a few good friends to help with things like proof-reading, etc.

Thanks for taking the time do this, and congrats again!
