not really a new project or anything, but i wanted to revamp this a little, spark up some news ideas and maybe convince a few people to post up sets they have been seeing some success in recent games. i'll be sure to be throwing a few sets of my own up in due time, but i wanted to set this up for the time being, maybe get some input from slammen past. i'll steal trc's op bits for reference, since i liked them, so thanks dood.
be sure to give a proper description of the set and what it stands to accomplish, and feel free to support these with calcs, replays, and so forth if you feel so inclined. i'll be archiving the sets i feel aptly fit the categories, and i know you wanna look fly on the smogon dot com.Here are some guidelines:
What is a new and creative, good moveset?
What is an underrated, good moveset?
- It successfully pulls off a role, and is not strictly outclassed by others.
- It takes advantage of metagame trends.
- It has had some success. Post replays / logs to strengthen your case.
What are some things that constitute a shitty gimmick?
- It is an existing set that for whatever reason isn't common.
- Its use is meant to prey on specific facets of the metagame.
- It might be able to surprise and demolish Pokemon that normally counter the usual sets, but does not become a gimmick in order to do so.
Have fun!
- Using a Pokemon that has no business being used in RU, for the sake of using it in RU.
- Movesets that are inferior and ineffective compared to existing movesets, or use an obscure move for the sake of hitting an even more obscure check or counter.
- Movesets that are utterly impractical or are horribly outclassed by another Pokemon.
