Every generation is different and the metagame is constantly changing. However, there has always been and always will be threats. Whether they are defensive threats or offensive threats, every competent player should have a way to handle top-tier threats. That's where you guys come in! This project aims to gather some of the common top-tier threats in the metagame and find Pokémon that can either check or counter them.
Procedure:
1. Every round, I will nominate a Pokémon for discussion. Within ≈ 3 days' time, you guys will have the ability to discuss and nominate various Pokémon that you think can either check or counter the victim of the week.
2. I will post voting on whenever day 4 is. Vote for your favorite check and favorite counter, and I'll choose the top three of each on Friday.
3. The results will be archived and the process will continue week after week.
Rules:
1. Follow the definitions for checks and counters, by MattL in The Smog Issue 32!
2. Focus on posting PU-viable, but if you feel as if it's niche as being a check or counter to the selected Pokemon is big enough you may post.
3. The first two days of a week each user can only post one answer. From then to when I start voting, however, each user can post as many answers as they want.
4. Different sets of the same Pokemon can be nominated. For example, person a) can nominate Calm Mind Clefairy as a check to something, while person b) can nominate SPDEF Clefairy as a counter to the same thing in the same week.
5. Help people out if you think they're wrong, but please be nice.
6. Post calcs if not obvious.
7. If there is more than say 4 checks then start posting some counters and vice-versa to not have too much for one spot. Unless said Pokemon has no more counters or checks.
8. Have fun!
Edit: Reserving is allowed, but must be done in a 24 hour period. If not then someone can steal it.
