Hey LC, the Dark Horse Project is back with a vengeance and coming for the ladder. The rules are simple: pick two unappreciated mons to build around, create a lordsquad with them and ravage the ladder. Doing so is not only fun but also can reveal mons with tremendously useful niches in the metagame, always a benefit. We'll have a leaderboard which we will update after the end of cycles so users can have something to compete over.
Here are our rules:
- Two mons on your team must be BOTH below B- (i.e, C+ and down) in the Little Cup Viability Rankings and below 3.41% usage.
- You must build a team with them as opposed to stealing one.
- You need to post here giving 1) your fresh ladder alt and 2) both your dark horse mons.
- Each cycle will last about 2 weeks.
- After you hit a peak, post a screenshot in this thread. Points will be given for specific ladder rankings, as well as bonuses awarded for being one of the highest climbers compared to your challenge peers. Also include a team importable (hidden please).
- After each cycle, the Leaderboard will be updated, and another cycle will begin; everyone's point total will be factored into the leaderboard.
- Discussion is greatly encouraged - share what works, what doesn't, what support is greatly appreciated for your mons.
- Friendly trash talk is not necessarily prohibited
When you post to sign up, please include the following:
Typical Showdown Username:
Challenge Ladder Alt:
Dark Horses Used:
Explanation For Mons: Here, just include a brief description of what you hope your dark horses to do, how you plan to support them, etc.
Some Questions:
- What did your Dark Horse mons do for your team? Did they fulfill any niches untapped by any current common lc mons, or were they purely outclassed?
- How did your team support your DH mons, or how did your DH mons support your team?
- Would you use your Dark Horse mon again in another context, and would you recommend your DH mon to a user you like?
Have fun with this!
