First person chooses a Pokemon
Next an item
Next Ability
Next EVs
Next Moves
Next Nature
Then the next person starts us on our second mon. Give explanations for your choices where you can. Teams will be recorded in the OP.

I'll start you off with...

OU legal mon only.

I'm not sure if SM Mew is played same as XY, but I would go with

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/88/Dream_Leftovers_Sprite.png

I remember using one with Toxic and Rest during XY era and Leftovers is great item to go with it.

For Ability, I would have to suggest Synchronize. It's an excellent Ability for Mew since it lets Mew afflict its opponent with Burn, Poison, or Paralysis when Mew itself is afflicted with one of those status conditions. Switch Mew in on those nasty Clef TWaves or Rotom Wisps and you can end up crippling your opponents. Synchronize is definitely the best Ability for Mew hands down.

Levea March 26th, 2018 9:57 AM

I will propose an EV spread of 248 Hp, 146 Def, and 112 speed.

gimmepie March 26th, 2018 9:37 PM

Mew @Leftovers
Ability: Synchronise
EVs: 248 HP / 146 Def / 112 Spe
- Ice Beam
- Soft Boiled
- Will-o-Wisp
- Stealth Rock


A pretty standard mew set. Ice beam stops things like Zygarde setting up on it. Wisp cripples physical threats switching in like Bisharp. Stealth Rock and Soft Boiled are self explanatory.

Timid Nature, to outspeed stuff like Adamant Zygarde and Lando-T

OU legal as in: at the time it was picked? Worst case scenario would be something got banned while the team was still in the making.

Tapu Fini @Choice Specs

Let's try an offensive set!

5qwerty March 27th, 2018 8:01 PM

Hi, minor suggestion. Can we do the Nature right before the EV spread? It feels really awkward to do it after moves. I think Nature should affect EVs and moves, not the opposite.

Also Misty Surge for Fini.

That seems completely backwards to how I've always done it :')
I'm game for the change if others support it though.

EVs: 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 4 Spe

Ok yeah I guess it's fine since it's kind of how you would do it in teambuilder? I just thought that generally EVs and Nature should be adjacent to each other.

Also I guess Modest Nature.

gimmepie March 29th, 2018 4:16 PM

Next mon then.

Anyway, new mon...
