Projects

NU Viability Ranking is a project designed to help those new to NU learn about what Pokemon experienced players find to be effective. NU players rank Pokemon based on how well they perform in the tier, which can be seen in the first post of the thread. Generally, good Pokemon will generate discussion about why they are good in NU and what sets or characteristics make them so potent. Likewise, for bad Pokemon, discussion within this thread help explain why they're not effective, why they fail, and the numerous issues they have, which will result in them being ranked lower.

NU Teambuilding Compendium is a project where important roles needed on a team are listed. Every role have several Pokemon listed alongside it, all of which can fill that role. Pokemon aren't limited to a single role, so Pokemon that can fill a lot of different roles get listed several times.

NU Creative / Underrated Sets is a thread where people can post new or creative sets that they've come up with. Often times these sets will involve clever ways to get around a common check or counters, or maybe just something that hasn't been used before. Either way, it's a great place that fosters innovation.

Victim of the Week! [Week 18: Kangaskhan] is a project that discusses a way to check and counter a Pokemon that the topic creator chooses. This week's threat is Kangaskhan.

NU Pokemon Matchmaking is a project designed around pairing up the Pokemon the topic creator chooses with one or a few Pokemon that form an effective core together. This can be either offensively or defensively, as long as they work together.

NU Battle of the Week is a project where anyone can nominate any players to fight against each other in a currect NU battle. At the end of the week, the two players with the highest amount of nominations will fight in a best of 3, and the results will be shared for everyone's education and entertainment!

NU Teambuilding Lab is a project where several recognized teambuilders in NU accept Pokemon and sets from users and build teams around them, explaining their thought process when they built the team.
