NU CCAT 2: Step 1

Not open for further replies.
Well I'd like to nominate Calm Mind Sneasel... Nah but I would like nominate something a little different. In particular a set I've been using to quite a bit of success. Belly Drum Magmortar, it works wonders at taking out Mortar's usual checks such as Licky , Miltank and Grumpig.

Magmortar
252 Atk , 252 Spd , 4 Def
Jolly / Vitial Spirit
Expert Belt / Leftovers
Belly Drum
Fire Punch / Flame Charge
Earthquake
Cross Chop

Some physical walls still give it a bit of trouble, If electing for Flame Charge Missy can quite easily take it down. The general idea is to Belly Drum on something Mortar forces out as the opponent switches in their counter and proceed to sweep with Cross Chop taking out the specially defensive Normal types , Earthquake Grumpig and co and Fire Punch / Flame Charge for anything that takes Super Effective damage. Even at +6 Flame Charge is rather weak but the +1 speed is invaluable if going for a slightly premature sweep.
 
Ok the suggestions have pretty much stopped. Here are your choices. Please bold your choices in order that you would like them (since we're doing instant runoff voting). I picked the slate based on viability, how often they're used in the metagame, and how much team support they need.

The choices are:

Butterfree
Zangoose
Serperior
Ampharos
Kangaskhan

ps this will be open for 24 hours after this post
 
Kanaskhan
Zangoose
Butterfree
Ampharos
Serperior

Just the reverse order of how often I use them. I've been using Kanga recently and it is simply brilliant.
 
Serperior
Zangoose
Kangaskhan
Ampharos
Butterfree

I use butterfree and amphy a lot, kanga is alright, zangoose seems cool i guess, serperior is a boss.
 
Kangaskhan
Butterfree
Zangoose
Serperior
Ampharos

I was originally going to nominate Kanga before someone beat me to it, so I'd like to see her in action. Butterfree would be nice too. The others...well, I don't really care too much for them.
 
Butterfree
Serperior
Kangaskhan
Zangoose
Ampharos

Even if i think that CurseTank is more viable then Ampharos and needs less team support. But a team around QDButterfree or Serperior sounds interesting too.
 
Zangoose
Butterfree
Serperior
Ampharos
Kangaskhan

Kanga and Amph are pretty easy to put into most teams so they're at the bottom for me...
 
Kangaskhan
Serperior
Ampharos
Butterfree
Zangoose

Kanga's my own suggestion, so it obviously goes at the top.

Butterfree and Zangoose are too one-dimensional for me, in addittion, they both get butchered by the two most common scarfers in the tier, as they attempt to sweep. You see them, and you know EXACTLY what they are going to do.

Serperior could be quite interesting between Phazeing with D-Tail and Leaf Blade for offense, unlike Butterfree and Zangoose, you can do more than one thing with that set.

Ampharos can also play a bulky attacker with Cotton Guard or an Agility Sweeper. You also don't see many of them around at Scarf Sawk/Rotom-S like Butterfree and Zangoose.
 
Serperior
Butterfree
Kangaskhan
Ampharos
Zangoose

reasoning: subcoil serp is fantastic and i also didn't want to vote for my set first. kanga is also a cool mon, definitely worth trying. not really feeling it for zang or amphy though :(
 
Serperior
Butterfree
Zangoose
Ampharos
Kangaskhan

Why is everybody (except for the cool people) hatin on Serperior? He does great with team support, i am currently rank 339 <-edit, now 100 something(ok not that good, but i have lost literally one match) with a team based around sub coil serpy. anyways, i love buterfree. rest just kinda came to mind
P.S. i guess i am a worse person than Zebraike ;)
 
Zangoose
Ampharos
Butterfree
Serperior
Kangaskhan

Umm.. I like Zangoose? I like Butterfree the most but I already have multiple Butterfree teams.
