Aaron Takes on Showdown
Hello!
Many moons ago, I started a small PC Daily series, in which the community (that's y'all) gave me Pokémon sets both serious and wacky to take on Showdown's OU ladder, with myself then posting my results in the form of a Daily Article! So this will be the first thread, all I want is for you to post a set of your choice in this thread, I will then be choosing 6 mons to use in the Gen 8 OU Ladder for next week! Then on the Sunday of that week, I'll collate my results and put together the article ready to post, before starting Week 2 after that! What are you waiting for, give me your worst! |

Dubwool @ Leftovers Ability: Fluffy EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Cotton Guard - Body Press - Payback - Thunder Wave I'll start with this team, but please do still keep posting sets in here! |

Teleport really is legal wtf?

yes, teleport is legal

Thank you for the sets for the first week chaps - gunna give it this week toget some more sets, then I'll ladder and write the article next week!
In the meantime, see how I fared this week in the following article!!!! |
Are we submitting here still?
Mew @ Normal Gem Ability: Synchronize EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe Adamant Nature - Block - Explosion - Swords Dance - Soft-Boiled |
Bulbasaur @ Focus Sash
Ability: Chlorophyll EV's: 252 Spe, 252 Atk, 4 HP Jolly Nature - Sleep Powder - Toxic - Knock off - Leech Seed Believe it not I had some success with this set as my lead in the 4th gen OU ladder and against a friend of mine who is quite good at the meta so I'd be curious to see how it'd fare in 8th gen. Wish Bulby had its own Gigantamax form so it could be viable in Ubers like Pikachu and Eevee apparently are. |
Article up soon! Just posting a set from the Discord server that was used this week:
Centiskorch @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Fire Lash - Leech Life - Power Whip - Coil |
Annnnnd article is up! Click this shiny to see just how useless that Bulbasaur set really was.
More importantly, Week Three be go! Send your sets in this week either via here or Discord (ping me please!) so I can start laddering next week :) |
