Hello everyone! You may have noticed that this thread is under new management, I host this thread now! Functionally this thread will work in the same way as it did before. I plan to run this similar to how A Very Gay Girl runs NBT thread, I'll give a mon for you guys to match on Saturday/Sunday, and then I'll put voting up Wednesday or Thursday.

For now, I'm going to start the voting for Lucario and you'll have till the weekends to vote. Without further ado, here are the submissions:

Ribombee by NEON_Voyager
Gardevoir by Oathkeeper
Raikou by Dr Ya Yeet
Celebi by C0nfiden1 0yster
Slurpuff by Yourwelcomethanku
Klefki by montegom
Seismitoad by Hidden Power
Registeel by Emil Heskey

I do plan on making some sort of leaderboard, though I am unsure if I'll continue the last one or create a new one. You have till October 16 to vote!

[Yourwelcomethanku]

Nidoqueen (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave
- Ice Beam
- Taunt / Stealth Rock / Focus Blast / Fire Blast


Rotom-Mow's Volt Switch is fairly difficult to block, Grass-types often times take the Volt Switch and Nidoqueen has a good matchup into some of the tiers Grass-types such as Roserade and Vileplume. Rotom-Mow's Trick could also potentially ruin other special tanks that may switch into it like Umbreon, and AV Reunilclus which are both Nidoqueen checks. Nidoqueen isn't the best Electric-type check on its own so Rotom-Mow being a Grass-type could help in dealing with Xurkitree and Raikou. Rotom-Mow can also check Flygon for Nidoqueen as well even if its shaky at that.

Hey I could use one or two more submissions so I could start voting tmrw. If you were to participate that would be greatly appreciated! : )

Edit: I'm hoping for at least one more so voting will not start today like I had hoped. In a future week, I do plan on revisiting Mowtom as I think there is a lot of potential, just with a different set.

 

[Holy-Darky]

Darmanitan @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Toxic

I nominate Darmanitan as it pairs nicely with Rotom-Mow in my opinion.
Firstly, U-turn enables Darmanitan to form a good VoltTurn core with Rotom-Mow. Darmanitan takes advantage of the bulky Grass-types that Rotom-Mow often baits onto the battlefield while Rotom-Mow checks the troublesome bulky Water-types for Darmanitan. Darmanitan also deals with Registeel and Bronzong that Rotom-Mow sometimes struggles with.

 

[Voyager]

Obstagoon @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Facade
- Knock Off
- Close Combat
- Obstruct / Switcheroo

Rotom-Mow's Volt Switch is fairly difficult to block, Grass-types av reuniclus often times take the Volt Switch and Nidoqueen Obstagoon loves oppurtunities to wallbreak. u can tell if its av and not colbur based on volt switch damage, so calc and stop giving letting reun beat u

 

[C0nfiden1 0yster]

This week's Pokemon is...
Tornadus- Incarnate

Tornadus (M)
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Acrobatics
- Superpower
- Knock Off
- U-turn

Itemless Tornadus as been impressive in SCL recently as its attacking combo of Flygin and Fighting has been hard to play around, combined with possessing Knock Off and U-turn, making it a potent foe. Odr used a team with this set in SCL Week 5 against Ark as it was able to KO-Incineroar Turn 1 and keep momentum throughout the game. This set struggles defensively though as there is no recovery and weak to rocks, but its offensive contributions can certainly make up for that!

Submissions are due Sunday 10pm -4! If you have any questions please let me know, Contact info is on post #1!​

xatu


Xatu @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 152 HP / 252 SpA / 104 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Future Sight
- Teleport
- Roost
- Heat Wave

Xatu has a double bonus when paired w this set. Its magic bounce keeps the rocks off that torn it susceptible to w out boots, and uses future sight which is hard to block w a dark type thanks to superpower 1hko'ing incinc and having good odds to 2hko umbreon.

 

[Yourwelcomethanku]

Starmie @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Toxic / Teleport
- Rapid Spin
- Recover

Starmie is a great teammate to Tornadus being one of the more reliable hazard removal options and its capable of checking the Steel-types that Tornadus so often lures in. If Starmie elects to run Teleport it can attempt to lure Grass-types such as Celebi and Roserade that may swap into Tornadus.

 

[C0nfiden1 0yster]

Hey If I could get 1 more submission before voting starts that would be great! In general the min will be 3. Thanks!

 

[C0nfiden1 0yster]

alright we didn't get any submissions but I wanna move onto the voting so I will make a quick submission.


Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Trick
- Healing Wish

Helps Torn with another fighting resist, which torn can struggle with. Garde also gives it good speed and can heal it back up with healing wish. It can also trick onto mons like Registeel, which can be an issue.

 

[C0nfiden1 0yster]

Ok now moving on to the voting stage... we have three submissions
Xatu by NEON_Voyager
Starmie by Yourwelcomethanku (badged user btw, congratulate him if you haven't already!)
