NDOM MATCHMAKING
Welcome to NDOM Matchmaking! This is a project designed to pick the best partner(s) for a Pokemon! Every week I will post a Pokemon, and you will need to post a partner with a short description of how the two form the perfect match!
How this works:
Each week, I will submit a Pokemon and set, and people will have about a week to submit their best partner to the sample set, with a short explanation on why the two form a good core. After the submission period, I will choose the top 3 (subject to change depending on quality of submissions) submissions and they will be archived in the Hall of Fame (and may be added to the good cores project!). This project will rotate weekly between National Dex Almost Any Ability, National Dex Balanced Hackmons, National Dex Convergence, National Dex Godly Gift, National Dex Mix and Mega, National Dex NFE, and National Dex STABmons each cycle!
Rules:
- When you reserve a Pokémon, please state what set you are reserving
- Reservations expire 24 hours after they're posted. If you do not post in that time frame, someone else may take it.
- An explanation is mandatory. It doesn't need to be very long—two or three concise sentences should suffice—but make sure it's there.
- You may nominate a different set for a Pokémon that has already been submitted. However, it's important that the set is distinct from the other submission—Submissions where the only difference is something simple like 1 move or an EV spread unless the change substantially alters how the core functions, will not be accepted
- A little theorymonning is inevitable in a project like this, but please try to post based on your experience using and/or facing the Pokémon in question rather than just listing something you have no experience using and/or facing.
- It's completely fine (encouraged, in fact) to give feedback on other people's submissions, but please be nice!
I recommend using the following format when posting:
[For: ND NFE Nasty plot Misdreavus ] *exclude this
Gabite @ Eviolite
Ability: Rough Skin
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock
Gabite acts as a good Misdreavus partner thanks to its ability to deal with one of Misdreavus's greatest checks: Qwilfish-Hisui. Moreover, it provides stealth rock support to help misdreavus break better. In return, Misdreavus deals with commonly used Gabite checks, such as physically defensive Tangela. The two appreciate (slow) pivoting from the likes of mons like golbat and wartortle as they may sometimes find difficulty in finding safe switch-in opportunities.
