Welcome to The Next Best Thing, a competition to share interesting alternatives to the standard meta Pokémon sets! Be as creative as possible, but you must also show the viability of your set - troll sets may work once but do not contribute to the growth of a competitive metagame. This project is meant to maximize a Pokemon’s potential: we're doing this both for research and for fun, so don't be afraid to give it a shot!
At the beginning of each week, participants will be tasked with creating a new creative yet effective set for a chosen Pokémon. A list of banned sets will be provided: these will be sets already popular within the meta and therefore are not to be posted for the week. The participants will get around 4 days to make their set and create their post. People may discuss the sets posted during these days. At the end of the week, there will be a voting phase to select a winner. Once the votes are tallied and a winner is selected, the set will be listed in the Hall Of Fame below this post and the process will start over with another Pokémon.
Rules and Guidelines:
Submissions must contain the importable set for the Pokemon of the week followed by an explanation of how it works and why you think it’s useful in the context of the current metagame. Replays are recommended but not mandatory.
As said previously, a list of bans will be provided. A minor change in the spread will not be considered as a different set. The change of one coverage move can be accepted if a detailed explanation is given of why it can be considered a good option. A tera change will be accepted but considered a minor change which should influence voters if there is nothing more to it.
- Your set may not be changed after the voting phase has begun but may be changed prior to the voting stage.
- You may only submit one set per week.
- You cannot vote for your own set.
- You may reserve a set, but if you haven't properly filled it in within 48h of your reservation, it may be taken by someone else. Additionally, sets that haven't been filled out by the time voting starts will not be included in the voting phase.
- Finally, please follow the global forum rules as well
