Cycle 3, Slate 2: Drenched Titanium
For slate 2 we decided to bring two of the bulkiest yet offensively great types to the table. With empoleon returning to the scene with some fun new tools on its side with competitive to boost its special attacking capabilities along with roost given its bird like features and to pair the pretty penguin up with Scizor could lead to some amazing balance on Steel! Ogerpon, quite literally the cutest new "mythical" we have been graced with is quite the powerhouse on any of its respected types. This round we want to see you all utilize these new tools and additions to the best of your ability. Got what it takes to reach platinum beloveds?~
Deadline for Cycle 2 is Sunday, October 8th at 10 PM EST (GMT -4).

Scizor being the old head of this pair has crazy offensive capabilities on both its regular form along with its mega evolution on steel. The combination of close combat, bullet punch, and u-turn for momentum can make or break this amazing power house of a pokemon. Which is why we paireed it with the big penguin himself Empoleon! Empoleon provides the best specially defensive tankiness that can help remove the scary fire quad weakness that Scizor has.

With having the double typing of Grass and Water along with its signature ability to make its attacks 1.2x powerful, Ogerpon isnt to be meddled with on the battlefield. This week we wanted to pair the pretty masked oger with a newer addition in Samurott (the goth one that is..) With Ceaseless Edge providing hazard support along with both having an amazing attack stat and abilities to synergize with together the pair looks to be amazing on either rain or balanced water. Tread these waters lightely..
