Hey there, voting's up late since I had technically difficulties with my teams
Anyway, I've decided upon an experimental way of being harsher on the teams submitted. Forgive me for being mean in the next few sentences.
There are a pretty pathetic amount of (good) Scizor checks between these four teams (that dont wear themselves down by existing), though I will admit most of them are leagues better at this task than the team that won the Stakataka week. I'm not quite sure why vivalospride has had such an extreme resentment towards floaty Pokemon for so long, but it seems to still be going strong. eht's team is similar in this regard, as there are five mons OHKOed by Choice Scarf Krookodile, which in turn requires
Latias to hard switch into it to avoid losing a mon to Earthquake. There's also the problem of...
...
because I was forced to stick Rocks on Mamo (fucking hate Rocks Mamo you literally get walled by Grounds without Icicle Crash ffs)
Suprisingly, retrowaves's team has a few Ground resists. Unfortunately, it ended up being the biggest offender of all. With the fastest team member being a base 110 Gengar and a complete lack of speed control and Flying resists, a well played Mega Pidgeot is near impossible to play around for this team. With plenty of chances to fire off Hurricanes against Swampert, Gengar, Celebi, and the Gliscor that is 100% walled by it, Pidgeot is guaranteed to shred this team from preview. Because the other teams (especially Sage's team that uses Sash Counter Gengar as a creative means of trying to circumvent its weaknesses) can at least
theoretically deal with massive threats to their team, retrowaves's team is the odd(est) one out here. Every vote for their team will only count as a third of a vote toward it winning the week.
I really hope this doesn't start a chain of meme votes holy shit. In the future I won't be afraid to do stuff like this to more than one team, but doing it to 3/4 teams this week would kind of defeat the purpose :\
I hope I didn't offend anyone too much with this little rant. I like all of you that posted this week but c'mon guys, this was pretty terrible.
Anyway, voting due Monday. I'd put in sprites but it just broke 3 AM as of now, so I might do it later.
