Hello all! Welcome back to Ubers UU NBT! After a bit of a hiatus - TB ban would have rocked this so was best to wait - we are ready to get going on a more regular basis.
The Next Best Thing (NBT) is a community-led project intended to encourage innovation for Pokemon in ways never seen before. Users will submit sets for the Pokemon of the week that are not listed on their Smogdex pages, where they can choose new items, moves, EV spreads or Abilities. I encourage creativity but also carefully consider viability! The host (me) can choose to reject any sets I seem to be garbage, though anything thoroughly explained is likely to be accepted. Please read the Procedures and Rules of the thread before submitting a set!
Hello all! Welcome back to Ubers UU NBT! After a bit of a hiatus - TB ban would have rocked this so was best to wait - we are ready to get going on a more regular basis.
The Next Best Thing (NBT) is a community-led project intended to encourage innovation for Pokemon in ways never seen before. Users will submit sets for the Pokemon of the week that are not listed on their Smogdex pages, where they can choose new items, moves, EV spreads or Abilities. I encourage creativity but also carefully consider viability! The host (me) can choose to reject any sets I seem to be garbage, though anything thoroughly explained is likely to be accepted. Please read the Procedures and Rules of the thread before submitting a set!
- Every cycle (1 per week), a new Pokemon will be chosen for participants to create a new set for. All the existing sets (or WIPs) on the Smogdex are banned, so make sure to double check before submitting. (This includes move variations listed).
- Participants have 4 days to submit their sets in this thread, starting on Monday and running until Friday.
- Voting will occur during the remaining three days of the week, from Saturday to Monday.
- All the winning sets will be kept in the Hall of Fame (see tab linked on this post).
Set Rules
Be as creative as possible, but your creativity must also show viability. Don't make a set solely to make a set!
Be as creative as possible, but your creativity must also show viability. Don't make a set solely to make a set!
- You may only post 1 set per cycle. If you wish to change sets, delete your original post and notify me!
- As mentioned above, do not take sets from Smogdex!
- You must explain your set in detail. It is recommended to include a replays and/or notable calcs of the set in action, and you are welcome to include teammates options, threats, usage tips, & even a team built around the set. Your set may be excluded from the ballot if it does not have sufficient explanation of why someone would use it.
- You are allowed to reserve your set in this forum, but the reservation expires after 24 hours. Please have your description complete before after this point.
- Please name your sets based on the moves and items, and not random funny names. If no set name is provided then only your profile name will appear on the ballot.
- You aren't allowed to copy anyone else's set.
- Follow the guidelines for voting specified each week. If multiple votes are allowed, you may still choose to only vote for one set if you wish.
- You can't vote for your own set.
- No vote manipulation.
- If you have any questions, please ask in DMs, Smogon profile, or Discord.
- Consider a 'Like' reaction to mean your post is approved, or 'Angry' to mean it needs changed or deleted.
- Follow the Forum Rules and be polite with other members here.
- Have fun! Any and all engagement is really appreciated.

, and 176 Speed with Timid nature guarantees outspeeding it. The rest goes into HP for general bulk. Tera Fairy, aside also being a good defensive type, blanks phasing from Dragon Tail, making it that much harder to remove.
