Welcome to SV RU Creative and Underrated Sets! This project will be used for sharing effective yet non-standard or uncommon sets for any viable Pokemon in SV RU. There will be an archive for sets the community posts that are particularly effective or outside of the box. Here are some guidelines for posting sets in this thread:
What constitutes an underrated and/or creative moveset?
Happy posting!
Welcome to SV RU Creative and Underrated Sets! This project will be used for sharing effective yet non-standard or uncommon sets for any viable Pokemon in SV RU. There will be an archive for sets the community posts that are particularly effective or outside of the box. Here are some guidelines for posting sets in this thread:
What constitutes an underrated and/or creative moveset?
- Creative Movesets would be those that are:
- Not commonly seen on the ladder whatsoever.
- It successfully pulls off a role and is not strictly outclassed by others.
- It takes advantage of metagame trends.
- It might be able to surprise and demolish Pokemon that normally counter the usual sets, but does not become a gimmick in order to do so.
- It has had some success (sufficient testing/replays).
- Underrated Movesets would be those that are:
- Somewhat common but still under-utilized despite being effective choices in the current metagame.
- Underrated sets are meant to prey on specific facets of the metagame.
- Movesets that are highly inconsistent.
- Unviable Pokémon. Check out the Viability Rankings if you are not sure/do a nomination there instead.
- Movesets that are inferior and ineffective compared to existing movesets, or use an obscure move for the sake of hitting an even more obscure check or counter.
- NO GIMMICKS. They don't add any positives to the discussion and only derail the thread. These posts may be subject to being deleted.
- Explain a little as to what your set does and how it accomplishes its goal.
- Dumping multiple sets at once is perfectly acceptable as long as all are well explained.
- Replays are not required, but are encouraged whenever possible. Make sure if you use replays, they aren't low on ladder and adequately reflect the niche of the set you're posting.
- Be nice LOL
Happy posting!
