oh helll no bro actually summoned the pbfies to vote DCongrats to Team D by tick_tackplayz for winning this cycle! Your team will be added to the Hall Of Fame.
Cycle Seven
One of the most unique additions to Generation 9, Pecharunt has steadily become more popular amongst high level players thanks to several unique attributes. Parting Shot, a decent defensive typing, and massive physical bulk combined with solid speed make for a great pivot that can help check massive threats such as Ogerpon-W, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny. Meanwhile, this sinister stone-fruit can disrupt your opponents team with infuriating Poison/Confusion combinations and Parting Shot while even having some trickery with different Z-Moves and items. What can you cook up with this foreboding fruit?
Submissions end Monday, April 14th, 7 PM GMT -7
Welcome to NatDex OU Teambuilding Competition! In this project, a Pokemon each week will be presented for you to build a team around and then submit. This will then be taken into voting. The team with the most votes is the winner and gets spotlighted in the room!
There are no strict rules for this project, but here's how things should work:
Remember to have fun in this project; may the best team win!
- Entry submission: Post team in the thread itself with import and explanation in hide tags. Please, when you are submitting a team, try not to slash movesets / items in the importable. The finished product should be the build you are most confident in. It is fine to do minor set changes throughout the week, but if you want to give an option for one of your Pokemon, note it in the Explanation instead. Make sure the team you post are according to the Pokémon, Core or Theme of the Week: or else you’ll obviously get disqualified. Joke teams will also be disqualified. If you'd like to submit an idea for a theme, don't be afraid to PM me through Smogon or Discord (@hidinwastaken).
- Disputes / Copying: Obviously, there is potential for disputes over copying or people making similar entries. In general, if your team entry has the same cores of Pokémon and similar move sets to an earlier entry, it will be disqualified. If anyone tries to abuse this by reserving an early post in the thread for their entry, please bring it to my attention and they'll be disqualified. If you are caught doing this there is a high possibility you will not be allowed to post in the building stage for an indefinite amount of time.
- Discussion and team changes: One part of the process is to have discussion about the teams and the core. While I'd like to keep this from being a speedy RMT thread, suggestions of improvements to entered teams are allowed. In the interests of fairness though, I'd ask that any suggestions don't involve anything more major than move set changes, and that if you've already submitted a team you won't change the Pokémon in it. Basically, just be sure that you're happy with the team before you send it in.
- Clean and Tidy: I'd like to keep the thread as clean and uniform as possible, as for ease of browsing, so this means keep formatting consistent, using the provided links for sprites and avoid posting one liners during the submission phase.
- Sprites: Please use this sprite option below:
- https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/
- Alternatively, you may use the :pokemon: format to get your sprites. For example,
:dondozo:
will getand
:sv/dondozo:
will get you- Voting Phase: We are changing the voting system compared to last time! Now, you can only vote for one team. This is to prevent any potential cluttering with votes and such, making things simpler. For example, if four teams are submitted, they will be given letters in their order (A, B, C, D). You can choose which one to vote for and say so in the thread. If you made a team, you can vote, but NOT for your own team.
