What's up ZU Gang! This thread is a fairly simple forum project that will help teach us about the meta! In this thread, users will have to counter the last 2 Pokemon posted with one Pokemon.
For example, let's say I start off the thread by posting a set for Wish Tect BU Komala and Scarf Electivire. 5gen can respond by posting a set for Rest Talk SD Silvally-Fighting. 5gens Silvally counters the initial Komala and Electivire, so the next person needs to post a counter to the Silvally set and the Electivire set, and so on. If no one can come up with a counter for a certain pair of threats, I'll reset the game after a few days. In this thread, you can be as creative as you want, just keep in mind that posting a weird/unviable set might be really easy for the next person to counter.
RULES
1. If two people respond to a threat at the same time, the first one to post takes priority. Or, if the first poster doesn't actually counter the threat, the first one to post with a real counter takes priority, and their Pokemon becomes the next threat to counter. Feel free to dispute whether or not a Pokemon is an actual counter.
2. FOCUS SASH IS BANNED - Hopefully, this is self-explanatory; this item gives freedom to many Pokemon to defeat a bunch of mons they wouldn't normally counter. So please don't submit mons with Focus Sash.
3. The ability to win must be greater than 50%, preferably much higher. If your mon relies on hitting multiple Focus Blasts in a row or Zap Cannon or something, it won't be counted.
4. No reservation posts. This is a somewhat fast-paced project, so take the time to make an actual post if you're going to post.
5. Don't post terribly unviable sets for the sake of posting terribly unviable sets. It goes against the spirit of this project, as it requires next to no thought for the next poster to counter the mon, and it doesn't teach us any relevant information about the metagame. I'm completely fine with niche or lesser used mons being used, but not intentional garbage mons (use your judgment). Stick to Pokemon on the VR C- and above.
6. Please please post calcs unless we'll dealing with a 4x SE attack or something else ridiculously obvious like a 2x SE fire attack in the sun.
Contact me on discord or PS for any questions regarding the thread. It's my hope that this thread will be entertaining for all and foster some potential ideas for teambuilding. Let's get started!

If a pokemon that is D (UU) or Unranked is the only Pokemon that can counter 2 mons than it is allowed.
If a Pokemon is gaining traction in the current meta and hasn't been moved up yet.
Remember to use your judgment!
