Huh? Me? Not this time...
Hey guys, quick update for you all!
As most of you have already seen, we won Other Metagame of the Month, and our ladder is now live on Pokemon Showdown. I implore you all to go give it a go while we're live.
Second thing, the council is currently getting a VR together. Votes are still coming in, so just give us a little bit of time to finalise everything and they will be added to one of the first posts in this thread. We have updated our samples. If you're lacking in ideas or just need a starting point, every one of these is something we've had a lot of fun or success with, and they're a great place to start.
Lastly, I'd like to just give a PSA on building. I love the creativity and some of the ideas I have seen in this thread, but it's very important to remember this isn't 2v2 doubles. This is far more akin to Doubles OU with its building, and while some of the 2 Pokemon cores that I've seen are super cool, sometimes they're not always the most practical. When you're building, try to make sure everything synergises as much as possible as you're going to have a cohesive unit of 6 Pokemon, rather than 3 separate cores of 2 that don't necessarily overlap well. When you're putting cores together based on moves or abilities, just think about how these work when they don't have the absolute optimal partner next to them. Also think if your idea needs your opponent to basically ignore what you're doing to work. When you build a fully synergistic team, you're going to find a lot more success!
