Type Cores are cores that originate from 3 types that work well together. They can be great offensively, or have really good defensive synergy. Some examples of popular type cores are the FWG (Fire, Water, Grass), SFG (Steel, Fairy, Dragon), and PDF (Psychic, Dark, Fighting). These type cores are further discussed in this helpful The Smog article by Albacore. The goal of this project will be to have the community come up with cores using the types assigned that week, and hopefully discover new combinations in the process. It'll be mostly focused on type affiliations and type synergy rather than matchups against specific Pokemon (e.g. "Garbodor switches into Fighting-type attacks" rather than "Garbodor switches into Toxicroak").
Here's how this will work:
1. We'll nominate a type core for the community to work with.
2. Submit your cores!
3. After the submission cycle has passed, voting for the best cores will take place. Everyone is allowed 2 votes, but you may not vote for the same person twice. For the case that only 5 core were submitted, everyone can only vote for 1 core.
4. The winners core/-s will be placed in the Hall of Fame.
Rules for posting your cores:
- Each core requires 3 mons.
- You may only post one core per week.
- You may reserve cores as long as you finish it in a timely manner (~24 hours). If it has not been completed by then, your core can be taken by anyone.
- Each core will require an explanation of its efficiency (e.g. why is this core effective? How do these mons cover each other's weaknesses well?)
- Post an import of the sets used.
- Be sure to explain any unusual EV spreads or moves used.
You generally shouldn't pick the same three Pokémon as another poster unless they have sufficiently different sets and functions. To make this easy to follow, I will try to make sure that each type in the week's combination can be represented by multiple NU-viable Pokemon.
Innovation is great, as long as it's viable and effective. If you are skeptical about the effectiveness of someone else's submission, feel free to provide constructive criticism. One-liners, arguments, and insults will not be tolerated, however, since those are not helpful.
For those who are unsure of what is expected in your posts, here is an excellent example that you may use for reference when making your own nominations.
(S/O to Rapture. for the post).
Have fun! I will start Week 1 tomorrow.
