Cycle 7
:ss/grimmsnarl:

With Screens being as good as ever, Grimmsnarl is at the top of the meta once again with its amazing Prankster Screens set. Grimmsnarl is tired of spamming the same set again and again however, and would like to try something new. Can you find its new best set?

Deadline is April 15th
Banned Sets​
 
:SS/Grimmsnarl:
Grimmsnarl (M) @ Darkinium Z
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Dark Pulse
- Dazzling Gleam
- Burning Jealousy

Our dark resists are almost all weak to Fairy, so Z Dark nukes most of the tier. Modest Firium is also usable to OHKO SpDef Celesteela, but Darkinium hits all the other Steels/Grasses while helping with the MU vs common mons such as Swampert, Moltres, Hippowdon, and Rotom-Wash. Timid lets you outspeed Adamant Bisharp. If you're really cool you put this set on an HO with Prankster so they think it's screens.
 
PHYSICAL WALLBREAKER
:Grimmsnarl:
Grimmsnarl (M) @ Choice Band :Choice Band:
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Darkest Lariat
- Superpower / Drain Punch
- Play Rough / Spirit Break
- Sucker Punch
 
Prankster RestTalk wincon:
Grimmsnarl (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD or 252 HP / 88 Atk / 168 SpD
Careful Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Spirit Break / Play Rough / Darkest Lariat
- Bulk Up

Grimmsnarl is attempting to act as a threatening wincondition thanks to its access to Prankster and Bulk Up. Spirit Break or Play Rough mostly aims to hit Mega-Altaria while Darkest Lariat alongside the second spread gives Grimmsnarl an easier time against Steels types. This second spread allows Grimm to 2HKO full HP Scizor with Darkest Lariat at +1.

this is my creative set for girm
grimsnarl
item: flameorb/toxic orb
moves
facade
fake out
spirt break
sucker punch

ivs
252 hp
252 attack
4 special defense
here is the set details on how it works
first of all frisk is good for scouting item as always. i always use fake out first to stop them from attacking on the first turn spirit break to counter fighting types of course and facade does half to a defensive togikiss in my testing and fake out can get the toxic orb/flame\orb up quicker and sucker punch if they decide to attack the grimm overall its a pretty fun set and i hope u guys enjoy it
the replay is a test of the set that i did on gen 8 1v1 before i take it to uu national dex

Unfortunately the deadline for submitting sets has already been hit. We're in the voting phase now for Grimmsnarl, but we won't be taking anymore sets unfortunately.
 
I'm going out and I'll be away from home tomorrow, so I'm ending the deadline a few hours earlier. Congratulation to R8 and his Bulk Up RestTalk set! Your victory will be added to the Hall of Fame shortly.

Cycle 8
:ss/celesteela:

With HO at its peak, it should be no surprise that Celesteela has emerged as a top threat in the tier once again. Because of its great typing, ability, stats and movepool it is able to pose an immense threat to the tier, both offensively and defensively. Can you find its hidden potential?

Deadline is April 22nd

WP Autot Steela
:ss/celesteela:
Celesteela @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Autotomize
- Acrobatics
- Earthquake / Seed Bomb / Stone Edge

Celesteela is a mon that has surprisingly good physical moves and a reasonable base 101 attack stat to utilize it's solid coverage options, steel/flying/ground hits basically everything in the tier bar the rotoms which have to be knowledgeable on all of steelas moves to actually wall it, this is due to seed bomb handling washtom if it ever tries to come in and stone edge handling heattom, which can also be used for different mons like opposing steelas as celesteela itself walls the steel/flying/ground combo.

It also has exceptional bulk which allows it to tank most non stab s/e moves without an issue, doing this allows for WP to proc and a free autot if its during the same turn.
