Metagames are dynamic, ever-changing, and constantly subject to change. However, there are always key Pokemon which must be prepared for and acknowledged during team building. This project is a great way for the community to come together and find ways to tackle these threats and develop a greater understanding of the tier as a whole.
1. When nominating your check/counter please take into consideration this defintion from The Smog:
3. Only post sets and Pokemon viable in RU. Try to stick to Pokemon on he Viability Rankings, however exceptions can be made on rare occasions.
4. Reservations are allowed, however if you don't complete your post within 24 hours someone else is free to take your Pokemon.
5. If someone posts an unviable set / mon, do not reply to their post. If someone does this I'll take care of it.
6. Post calcs if necessary.

- Every round, I'll pick one Pokemon from the RU Viability Rankings to be discussed. The submission stage will last one week.
- During the round, post a Pokemon of your choosing which is able to check / counter the current threat (Note that they MUST be viable, no gimmicks like Trapinch or Emolga, in some cases I'll be a bit more flexible with what's allowed, just PM me over Discord or PS and make sure I approve it).
- At the end of the round, results will be archived, so that eventually we'll have a bank of checks and counters for each threat in the tier with descriptions and sets to match.
- This project will last until I have gone through most of the Viability Rankings. This is obviously subject to change depending on various factors so if I feel the need to change it I'll let everyone know.
- If you want to help co-host message me on discord (roman#4216), accepting one co-host max since these are weekly. I probably won't accept anyone right away so wait a couple months before asking.
- Another note, for anyone not sure: The set of the Pokemon will be linked in the sprite, click the sprite and it'll open up a new tab with the set.
