Everything I waste gets recycled
Taken over from Can-Eh-Dian who took it over from Lord Alphose who had taken it over from Minus's version which can be found here

Welcome, NUers and all those looking for an excellent competitive Pokemon experience! A new installment of an old Pokemon game means we've got new Pokemon to research!
Keep the following things in mind during every Research Group:
- Be open-minded, don't just say something is terrible and walk away; look at its stats, movepool, and typing and think something up!
- Feel free to theorymon early in the research period, but make it clear you're doing so. Later in the period though, you will be expected to back up your posts with hard evidence like logs, actual sets, perhaps even teams.
- Just because an analysis has been done for a Pokemon doesn't mean there isn't more to explore; it's very likely that something has gone unnoticed.
- Do not post in this thread complaining about the Pokemon I choose and / or suggesting ones we should do for future weeks. Feel free to VM / PM me these suggestions, but don't expect me to always listen to you.
- Early period means the first three days of the research week, so let's keep the theorymoning to a minimum after. The late period refers to the last four days of the research week, where raw evidence and discussion should become the basis of the thread.
- Sign-Ups close three days after nominees are posted, so be sure to sign up before they close!

How useful are these Pokemon in ORAS NU? What sets can they run effectively? What gives them trouble? What advantages do they have over other Pokemon? How well do they work in the metagame? If you have anything to say about any of these Pokemon, please post about them! It doesn't matter if you've used them or have just faced them in battle, anything is fine (but please, do try them). Just be sure to back up your posts with good competitive reasoning. Remember, discussion is not limited to this topic, you are encouraged to talk about these Pokemon in #neverused and the Pokemon Showdown NU chat as well!
The Research Group:
In order to participate you must do the following:
The Research Group:
In order to participate you must do the following:
- Each week, I will propose 3 Pokemon for discussion. The community will vote on one of the proposed targets and the rest is up to you for discussing and battling.
- Please actually use the target. Initial thoughts are fine, but go shouting what you think a Pokemon could do or what your experiences with it were in a previous meta.
- Post your experiences with the Pokemon you're using, participate in the discussion!
- Post logs of this Pokemon in action against other teams - don't just tell us, show us!
- At the end of the week, post the set(s) of the Pokemon that you've been using. We'd love to see what creative sets you used and hear how that worked out for you.
The first stage of the challenge will be very relaxed so theorymoning will be allowed as long as its backed up by good reasoning. During the later stage, discussion will be expected to be backed up by hard evidence, such as teams, actual sets, and logs. The winner of the challenge will be the person who has the highest ladder ranking on the Pokemon Showdown NU ladder on the alt they registered at the time the challenge ends.
