Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
1. Are there any special considerations that need to be had in the context of our typing and role?
The obvious special consideration should be Levitate since that will invalidate a major part that makes the typing a contradiction since an electric-type with levitate being defensive seems a bit...
Contradiction 1:
1: Is the weakness profile something we need to build around, as to minimize the range of Pokemon we want to check that are able to break through us? Or, should we lean more into a set of resistances being so potent that these weaknesses are harder to exploit due to the...
1: What exactly makes a typing contradictory in the context of being a wall? What qualities of typing contribute to making a successful wall? Is it absolutely necessary for our typing to near entirely lack these qualities for a successful response to the concept, or is it instead necessary to...
Wall + Mismatched Defense Stats - This would be a Wall with a stat spread that skews away from either Defense or SpDef but functions as a more effective wall for the weaker defense.
I would like to think that specific drawbacks in a particular area aren't as wildly different to cause someone to vote for something they would hate if it wasn't what they had in mind for that drawback. (Says the person who's examples for sweeper + movepool were: Only STAB attacks but threatens...
It would allow a better chance to discuss and make arguments concerning specific drawbacks that fall into a certain category, would it not?
Edit: Plus would it also not allow for getting even more specific about what we want to allow/disallow?
Looks like the two I would have submitted have been submitted already so I guess I'll say why I like the concepts:
Sweeper + Movepool - Movepool seems (to me) like it would be the hardest one to get right since you need to find a way to make it be effective at its chosen role without making it...
