RMT of the Week V5: Week 27

[IronBullet]

RMT of the Week
co-hosted by Team Pokepals and Snowy.​

Want your team noticed by a lot of people? Do you want all the efforts you put into testing your team and writing up your RMT to count? This is where RMT of the Week comes in! The aim of this project is to give people who put effort into making quality RMTs the attention they deserve. There are a lot of teams out there that are well-built and presented, but often left in the dark. Not anymore!

The concept is simple:

• Every week, we will nominate a few teams as candidates for the RMT of the Week.
• These teams are put in a poll. Everyone can vote for the team they think is most deserving of the award.
• At the end of the week, the winner will be the team that receives the most votes.

So what's in it for the winners? Well, the winning team will be announced on social media. It will also be recorded in the Hall of Fame, which will be posted in the OP for each week, and people are encouraged to rate it. Winning the RMT of the Week also increases the chance of having your RMT added to Team Showcase, subject to review, since it brings it to the notice of the staff. Finally, the winner will have an opportunity to give a brief interview.

Now you're probably thinking, "Why would people rate this team in particular? After all, it's no different from any other team." Yeah, maybe. But this is the perfect opportunity for all you unbadged raters to draw attention to yourselves. If you post good rates for the RMT of the Week, something that most of the staff is going to look at, you increase your chances of earning the Team Rater

badge.

If you are interested in getting your team shortlisted, here are some things that you can do to increase your chances:

• Make sure your team is viable and effective: This one is self-explanatory. If your team doesn't fit into its tier or metagame, or lacks any kind of success, it won't have a high chance of being selected. It doesn't have to be archive worthy though, and it doesn't have to have peaked at #1; a moderately successful team can make it, but it has to work.
• Your team should be well-presented: Wouldn't you enjoy posting in a thread more if it was visually appealing? If you put effort into presenting your team attractively, people will be more willing to rate it. We appreciate it when you take time to improve the quality of your RMTs, as it enhances the quality of the forum.
• Be nice and receptive to people's opinions: No one likes to rate the team of a close-minded person!

For those whose teams are selected, don't ask anyone, be it friends or anyone else, on the forums or on PS! to vote for you. For friends of the people whose teams get selected, the same goes for you as well: please don't post the link in chat rooms to try and get people to vote.

The first time someone is caught cheating, their team will be disqualified and removed from the ongoing week. If someone is caught cheating for a second time, they will be permanently banned from the project.

Caught up with last week's winner Ha In Kang to ask him a few questions about his Ubers RMT Take It To Reality:

1. Can you give a brief description of your team? What do you think is the reason behind its success?

Well, I wanted to try something well prepared to face Xerneas. The idea was that not much, something creative and effective in turn see. +2 Moonblast holds up well thanks to its bulk. Yes, Arceus-Poison. With already had the base team, then you had to fit in with the right partners. I believe that success is to be focused and make good reading throughout the battle. I also think that every member of the team, especially Excadrill should. I used to start with and take advantage of the movement it is as broken as Rock Tomb and so press the "Defoger" opposite. Not to mention how useful Mold Breaker, allowing me to quietly make Stealth Rocks in front of Sableye mega and mega Diancie. He advantages all together to output Primal Groudon and powerful eruption moving before. It is important to strike first and hard, I think it also has to do with success.

2. Have you received any useful feedback for your team?

Yes, I have received to my surprise various aids useful. Each well designed to stop common threats. My team suffers not only them, but against offensive teams in general. Highlight the presence of Cloyster, where sports. The main thing would press it with something faster and if I fall, top it with priority. I was recommended by Arceus Arceus Water Poison. This way I can with this threat very effectively. Like Groudon vs Primal, with this one I was forced to change. The second recommendation I think is to Giratina-O by Yveltal. I'm a big fan of Yveltal, but it is true that every time I find Arceus Ex killer and I can only pray that the miracle happen. This change is very good, because not only would stop this pokemon, but the king of ubers, Primal Groudon. Immunomodulating not lose the ground type. The last change was to keep Yveltal but Life Orb Oblivion by damage to Xerneas that may be important. The other had to do with Arceus Poison again. This time the substitute is Arceus Ghost. Not bad, the CM is very good and would have blocking Rapid Spin users.

3. Is there any advice you'd like to give to future RMT posters?

Clear! It may not be the most appropriate but why not. I think the first thing is to catch a pokemon that you like or feel like assemble a team around and cover the weaknesses among all. Whether looking guides or videos. Then when I was on the way to present the team (RMT) in a forum, I think one thing to keep in mind is that you must have the essence of oneself. I mean, you can look at the scheme of another but not follow the same steps. You can put your signature guide but, do it your way. Take out your creative side, your imagination.

Thanks for taking the time to do this man, congrats again!
