So that's the end of the voting stage for Week 7. I hope you enjoy these new battles!
I will drop my votes here too:
5gen
Ho3nConfirm3d
Rav3ndan
To make a long story short, I will draw the final Table with all the votes and I will highlight the ones that have to battle for this week :]
Please read carefully the rules of the thread. However, I will point out some things that I think are really important:
1) The battle is preferred to be done until Sunday, however, if more time is needed an extension could be granted.
2) Bo1 but it is optional to make it at Bo3 or whatever
3) Feel free to put clauses for yourselves (some cores, old gens...)
4) Let me know when do you want to battle and I will post it in this thread.

Okay, so Quaggs and I did a bo5 that I won in 3 games but we decided to play the 5 games cuz it was super fun and I was supposed to be better at nfe and quags better in ZU.
Game1: DPP ZU. Winner: ktut
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen4nu-912509171
This was the first time I touched a tier where slaking is good. I saw ariados in lower ranks but then realized the only hazard remover was wartortle and that there was no real tspikes absorber in the tier, so I went with ariados+slaking+dusclops (spinblocking). Lairon helps dealing with all the normal types (guts raticate etc), tropius wincon, and pikachu breaks physical walls.
Game2: SM NFE. Winner: ktut
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7nu-912514247
FLEXinder strikes again.
Game3: SM NFE. Winner: ktut
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7nu-912521341
Mirror match-up LMAO. Pure coincidence, since we had never fought each other and I had never used this team yet.
Game4: SM ZU. Winner: quags
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7zu-912527232
For the second time hippopotas and friends were defeated :( Semi-sand team that isnt too bad. Sand force nose+sand rush hedgehog are the 'abusers', while kekturne is my water resist (lol). Poisonvally solid shiftry check and tspikes absorber.
game5: SM ZU. Winner: quags
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7zu-912537770
or maybe not. lol.
My best Xtreme killer smeargle team. Which wins once every two games. :( If someone can do better, feel free to tell me how to master Xtrm killr smeargle's powa.
Was an EPIC series, thanks Quagg for being so chill, I've never enjoyed a botw more than today's :]
