OU CCAT: Nidoking Edition

Sorry, Run, no more new nominations. We already have nearly 40 candidates already.

EDIT: alright, I added Run's Uxie into the list.
 
1. Parashuffling D-Nite
2. Shell Smash Cloyster
3. Choice Band Darmanitan (If you accept Run's Uxie, replace this with his Defensive Momentum Grabber Uxie instead)

also I highly recommend we take Run's nomination into consideration; if you look at some of the nominations, there are a few that can be removed because they are jokes. No offence to the creator, but the counter + selfdestruct lax is a pure joke and shouldn't have a team built around it; much less have DST legitly nominate it. The defensive momentum grabber Uxie sounds interesting and has good potential.

Alright, I added his set, so I will count your vote for his Uxie set. The quality of his post warrants it.

I am not worried about all the "joke sets" in the ballot, b/c it's up to us to decide what we want. If it's a joke, no one will choose it.

I am not speaking in behalf of Zurich, but I also always thought that these sets are not fixed, and can be tweaked later on to better fit the team. That particular Counter + Self-Destruct lax may be a joke (I mean Focus Sash on a Lax?), but the concept is interesting and has the potential to pull off with a little bit of refinement.
 
DDTar
Sub Kyurem/Abomasnow
Azelf

I've tried building around DD Scrafty, and it's not suited to the current metagame at all. A combination of low speed, attack, and relative frailty make it really hard to set up without screens.

also 50th post woo nigskis get at me SO DYNAMIC
 
Wobbuffet, Just Wobba. He needs some love people D:

Wobb @Leftovers
Calm Nature
Shadow Tag
28 HP/ 228 Def/ 252 SpD
Encore
Mirror Coat
Counter
Tickle/ Safeguard

I mean, Shadow Tag is an awesome ability- traps Ferrothorn, Blissey, choiced pokemon, and set up sweepers. It's an underrated pokemon and still BL. He has potential for more usage and works great on teams to help set up sweepers.
 
1. Latias (sub+cm)
2.DDmence
3.Leech Seed Shaymin


Seriously wtf, you dont build a team around wobb, you use wobb to build teams around other pokemon.
 
I'd specifically love to see a team that struggles with weather, so they use Abomasnow as an offensive Pokemon that can keep the opponent on their toes. With a Choice Band or Life Orb, it has a great enough physical movepool to hit all other weather starters for super effective damage. This is a role that methinks Abomasnow could play really well, but he seems to almost always be used on a Hail team or not at all.

On another note, one of the least loved sets of Dragonite is the Parashuffler set. With the loss of Excadrill and Thundurus (and the downfall of Gliscor), this thing can cause a headache to so many teams. As we all know, Dragonite is nearly impossible to OHKO at maximum health thanks to Multiscale, and this set abuses that directly. If we picked Parashufflin' Dragonite, we could then model a team that fights well against paralyzed teams, which means tons of variety for us! Perhaps Conkeldurr or Head Smash Rampardos could join his posse. It's a greatly effective set that could really use some love AND makes a fantastic team player. The Special Defense EVs allow it to not get plowed over by random HP Ice / Ice Beam, but some could easily be distributed to Defense.
