The death of Next Best Thing was… greatly exaggerated. The time has come to let the people cook!
The Next Best Thing is a project where the users can submit & search for various creative, but viable Pokemon sets, utilizing the power of various overlooked & unexpected moves/items, or a combination of both in a set. The sets have to have some sort of viability - nothing completely troll like Choice Band Blissey. The hosts reserve the right to reject any such sets. Please read the Procedures and Rules of the thread before submitting any set.
