Hello everyone!!
This thread has been inactive for quite a while, so to remedy that, we as a council have decided to update the resources on a
monthly basis, which includes the VR mainly. This will be quite different from the previous updates which were mostly done by the council themselves. Here we expect as Jordan said above "old and new fans of AAA alike" to contribute so that we have a larger sample space to fit the VR and other resources according to the community itself. So I encourage everyone to share their favourite sets and what not, if you guys feel like it has potential/niche to do well in meta (replays would obviously help/or solid reasoning) without the fear of being ridiculed even if it isnt up to the mark. Who knows you might be able to discover a set that could potentially push your
favourite mon, up the VR, or at the least if
Funbot28 approves it, it can even go on
AAA set-pedia, with credits to you for it :D . This is very relevant because the VR will obviously go under some massive changes considering how centralizing zygarde was, so more sets are bound to emerge.
Also another good news, there are plans for some
exciting activities in the near future, so stay tuned!
I'll get it started with couple of nominations(more later) :
: Definitely the most underused mon right now, which will obviously get better now that zygarde has been banned. Water Absorb sets are amazing counters to CM water types, it along with regen checks volcarona, noivern effortlessly. While having a slew of utility stuff to make sure it isnt passive. While maintaining a good match-up against common defoggers. Obvious issues still remaining are unable to touch steel types, which makes offensive sets quite shaky, but it's defensive sets can be potentially top notch on correct teams.
( to B+ or potentially A-)
: Another defensive mon which has gained prominence lately after the introduction of Zera in the meta, even other than that basically another of those walls w/o any quad weakness and decent from special side too, makes it amazing if it fits on your team.
( to B+)
: Similarly another of those anti-meta mons. It feeds on all the triage spam, and due to magic guard, it can be surprisingly hard to take down. But a stellar offensive typing and rocks types being uncommon, helps its cause too, not to mention outspeeding weavile is just gold.
( to B+)
I won't fiddle with the topmost VR for now, I'll leave that for you guys.
