Preface:
I am assuming some of you have seen something like this around whether it's the Dark Horse project or the new Underdog Challenge in NU. For those who do not know, this project aims into creating more variety in the RU Metagame. This will attempt to find certain unique niches that lesser-user Pokemon have and raise their competitive presence. This does not stop here. The project also intends to raise discussion on the Pokemon used. This being but not limited to sets,team building, cores, etc.
Rules:
Discussion:
Discussion is one of the key points of this who project. This thread is for you and others to discuss the lesser used Pokemon,sets they use, and more!Also do not be afraid to ask questions or help with the Pokemon you are using. Here a some suggested discussion topics.
-What Underdog Pokemon you are using?
-What Pokemon you are pairing them with, as well as cores they're effective in?
-The state of the RU metagame and how to build teams in it.
-What Pokemon you used that worked, as well as ones that didn't?
Registration:
I also suggest you add the set you are using, links of other post pertaining to your Pokemon, and sprites for visualization!
Here is an example of a registration form.

Rules:
- The main and defining rule of this project is you must use Rarely-Rarely Used [RRU] Pokemon. This is defined as any Pokemon below 3% usage in the August Usage Stats.
- Only two Pokemon need to below 3%, the rest of the team can be any Pokemon allowed in RU.
- When you sign up you have to make a new Alt. This will be on Pokemon Showdown.
- You are allowed to switch your Pokemon in your team that are above 3%. But if you want to switch your rarely-rarely used team members you must post a new registration form.
- This should go without saying but follow all rules. Do not be dishonest or cheat.
