Summary of thread:
Ever faced a powerful team that sent you looking for a brick wall to bang your head against or spent the day laughing because you used such a team to stomp the meta? Such teams can define metas yet everyone knows those moments don't last forever and sooner or later the teams flaws will be exposed for the world to see and a group of Pokemon will emerge to break it. The purpose of this thread is to find said weaknesses and create cores that can break the teams of infamy because deep down Everyone knows no team is truly invincible.
This project aims to look at see how certain mons that work together to exploit said weakness, in other words a core that can break/destroy a team (Example Tauros + Specs Mesprit does amazingly well versus Stall/ fat balance). This can help fine tune teams in order to prevent them from getting destroyed by a simple core. Anyway without further ado, here are the rules.
Rules:
1. Each week I will pick a team and during the submission period, everyone can talk about what cores they think breaks a team and submit a core that they think is the most threatening to that team. In other words, what core they think destroys the selected team and why?
2. Cores must have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 Pokemon provided with full sets. Each core must be submitted with at least two lines of description, stating with the given core breaks the prescribed team. You can also talk about the weaknesses of the team being broken if you wish. In addition, all Pokemon nominated must be at least C- on the viability rankings unless they have an extremely well known niche (e.g. Magnet Pull Probopass). Anyone who posts crap like AV Swalot or DD Tropius will have their posts deleted.
3. After the submission period has passed (4-5 days), everyone will vote on the core that they believe is the most threatening to the team. Each person will be allowed 1 vote. You can also use the voting period to submit ideas on a team you would like to see broken next
4. The winner of each round will be placed in the Hall of Fame with their core :P
5. Please post cores no later than 24 hours after reserving them.
6. Good luck, have fun, and most importantly NO STUPID ONE LINERS n_n
