but then what's left of me?
The RU council has brought up Dugtrio as being deserving of a suspect test. As always, if you'd like to see some in depth reasoning as to why this Pokemon is being suspected, there is a paragraph written below about why Dugtrio in particular was chosen.
The requirements for this test will not be the same as last time. There will be one ladder. Dugtrio is ALLOWED on this ladder. On this ladder, you will be required to reach a coil of 2950 with a game limit of 123 games (the B value is 11). I will know if you reset your win loss, given its determined by GXE, do not attempt to game the system you will be infracted if I catch you, and I will. Some sample game requirements are shown for a range of GXEs below.
Code:
GXE N
84 59
82 72
80 93
78.5 123
Dugtrio is being suspected due to its ability to dispose of a number of offensive and defensive Pokemon, notably Registeel, Diancie, Virizion, and Magneton, which dilutes their viability and narrows the number of reliable options that can be used to counteract defensive builds and offensive combinations created by it. Dugtrio's ability to remove anti-defensive Pokemon magnifies the power of bulky teams by limiting the number of consistent wallbreakers and allows such teams to focus on countering offensive threats that are not susceptible to trapping; inversely, it creates powerful offensive cores due to the fact that it can eliminate grounded-checks for Pokemon such as Braviary and Venusaur, both of which are otherwise held down by a handful of Pokemon. Dugtrio isn't limited to trapping Pokemon specifically weak to its Earthquake though, as it is more than capable of picking off slightly weakened offensive threats such as Life Orb Venusaur, Meloetta, and Escavalier, and it has the potential to generate free set up turns with Memento for offensive teammates, further cementing its proficiency as a trapper and support 'mon.
tagging The Immortal for the ladder; please also change the B value, thanks in advance !_!
