The metagame is focused around common sets and the reason is due to their effectiveness. Just because it is standard does not mean its bad - take the case of Mega Charizard X and Clefable. However, this thread is meant to showcase creative and underrative sets you have been using to decent success. Old movesets could fall in this category as well if the metagame is still somewhat favorable towards them.

A new and creative set is one that pulls off a role not strictly outclassed by others. A set that has had some success and takes advantage of current trends is what you call "new and creative". However, a underrated yet good moveset is one the preys off certain facets in the metagame or one that can exploit standard checks and counters to sweep or wall with ease.
Now, I would like to explain what garbage is. According to Webster's Dictionary, garbage is "a thing that is considered worthless or meaningless." If you post garbage or a shitty gimmick, you will be infracted, no expections. What constitutes for this? Using Pokemon that has zero business in Overused or just to quote Potter Stewart "I know it when I see it". Basically, don't be this guy:
Rules should be pretty straight forward, so I am not going to bother explaining them. Last requirement is that you must have atleast one replay because theorymon =/= practice. If you really need good reason to check yourself, read this post.
Have Fun!
