I warmly welcome you to ZU's annual Secret Santa 6th Edition! It's that time of year again where we celebrate the festive season and what better way to do that than to give and receive gifts!

As most of you probably know, Secret Santa is an event in which the members of a community anonymously exchange gifts between themselves. In this particular Secret Santa, which, deep down, will work similarly to a teambuilding workshop, each person who signs up will PM me (Smogon or Discord) with a Pokemon or a core (I'll provide more information on this below) they'd like someone else to build a team with. Afterwards, everyone who joined the project will receive one of the aforementioned ideas and will have to build a team with it until the submission deadline. Finally, the teams will be sent to the people who requested them and this thread will be used for further discussion. Easy, isn't it? Let's get to the rules then!

General Rules:
  • Post "in" or whatever else you want to (as long as the intent is clear) to join.
  • Don't sign up if you can't guarantee that you'll be able to finish building a team in time. I'll try to keep tabs on everyone and help if needed, but depending on the amount of sign ups we get, it could be hard to do this.
  • Avoid telling people what request you sent/got, as it could ruin the project's purpose.

Submission Rules:
  • Each request submission should be sent to me through Smogon PM or Discord. You don't need to do it right after signing up, but if you fail to do it until the deadline then your sign up will be void.
  • Requests will be looked at on a case by case basis. It is preferred that requests are kept viable, but if you really want a team with an unranked/seemingly unviable Pokemon then you can try your luck.
  • Cores are usually preferred over individual Pokemon unless one of the Pokemon is known to be hard to build around or straight up uncommon. Once again, this will be looked into on a case by case basis, and while I might not directly enforce anything, I could end up suggesting changes.
  • If you want your requested Pokemon or core to have specific sets, you're allowed to mention it.
  • After sign ups close, I'll use the same PM each user sent with their request in order to let them know the Pokemon or core that was assigned to them. This is going to happen 1 week after this post comes up approximately.
  • Once you're done building, post the team you made on the thread and share the gift! (Try to add a small description to make your gift even better!)
  • You don't have to wait until building deadline to share your gift, share it whenever you feel comfortable with it!
Recommendations:
  • Don't be afraid to join just because you feel like your teambuilding skills aren't on par. I'm down to help everyone who feels this way (or even if you're just having a hard time finishing a team. It happens to everyone sometimes!)
  • I encourage you to build and test with other members of the ZU community as Christmas is a festive in which families/communities spend time together.
  • You're allowed to change requests until the sign up deadline, but avoid doing it if possible, as it could lead the host into making mistakes.

Have fun and happy building!

ho ho ho happy holidays Apagogie ! you said "frosttom, frosttom, frosttom, any set but i want to blizzard you in this christmas season" and i'm here to deliver not one but TWO teams!

:sv/rotom-frost::sv/venusaur::sv/orthworm::sv/snorlax::sv/morpeko::sv/mesprit:

i thought that i'd have the most success with a np pivot, so i started there. i went tera fairy to snipe cc and mach punch users and to resist dark moves like knock and sucker. knowing full well that i'd need a lax answer, i added leech seed + knock venusaur to whittle it down and force it to rest. orthworm takes advantage of opposing lax quite well, especially one thats had lefties removed and is seeded, and gives rocks support. these three mons are zard food so i added a lax of my own. i needed spin next and thought peko would be a fun pick, as frostom + worm check grounds nicely, and frostom and venu chip away at regirock. the team needed speed control and a fighting resist besides venu, so i opted for mesprit with tbolt because i didnt want dazzling gleam and therefore a third tera fairy mon, but im sure that would still work just fine

:sv/rotom-frost::sv/spiritomb::sv/snorlax::sv/hitmontop::sv/venusaur::sv/basculin:

went in a different direction for this one, but kept the same frostom. added a physdef spiritomb to blank fighting-type attacks and chip down mons like regirock. spdef lax adds an answer to zard that the previous two lacked, and then top adds immediate power and hazard control. team was very basculin weak so i have the same venusaur as the previous team, which is also the team's knock off user. last is basculin for speed control and late game cleaning! also i forgot to add rocks so you could maybe go for an offensive sandslash with rocks and spin
