A long time ago, back when DPP was the current gen, and there was no team preview, the above question was often asked. You had to be prepared for anything in that last slot and use your deductive team building skills to figure out just what your opponent was saving in the back. Still today, we can use these skills to better build our own teams. When building, there will be times when you have 5 perfect Pokemon. Mons that fit together so well that you just can't seem to pick a final Pokemon. Or sometimes you have a crippling weakness to a major threat and can't think of a Pokemon that will cover it that fits the team. This project aims to let the community figure out what the best last Pokemon would be for a given team of five.
~ How this will work
Every Monday, I will post a team that is missing one Pokemon. You guys will then post suggestions for the final Pokemon (guidelines to posts below). Until Saturday, as well as posting their thoughts on the last Pokemon, users can kindly critique the sets of others, though this is not mandatory. Once the voting period starts (Saturday to Sunday), people will choose the last Pokemon that they think fits the rest of the team best (guidelines to voting below). At the end of the round, the Pokemon with the most votes will be the winner! The team will be archived in the Hall of Fame, and the user who suggested the set will have his or her name alongside the team. Think of this as a lesson in team building!
~ Guidelines / Rules
1: Standard Monotype forum + Smogon rules apply; that means no flaming or antagonizing please.
2: No one-liners please; ideally, your post should have 2-3 lines and it must contain a set.

2: No one-liners please; ideally, your post should have 2-3 lines and it must contain a set.
2.1: Your post should explain the Pokemon's role in the team, why you chose it, and the moveset.
2.2: When providing feedback on others' sets, be kind!

3: Do not slash moves on your sets. If you have an alternative, eg: Hydro Pump over Scald, mention it in your explanation, but do not slash it.
4: You must only submit one nomination.
5: Do not change the team's members nor movesets.
6: If you'd like a team of yours to be featured, PM me and Misaka Mikoto with the importable and brief description so that we can feature it if we choose to do so.
7: Do not vote for your own nomination.
8: You are allowed to post the same Pokemon as someone else, however the set must be very different to theirs. Copying the exact same set but just changing the EVs or item is not "very different", and unless you change it, your post will not be counted.
9: Reservations are allowed; just please make sure you do them :x
10: Finally, have fun :)
