I'm assuming by the fact its called Create-a-Team 1 that, if this is a success and goes smoothly, the PokeCentre will run another one? Also, if anyone wants to see it, my two nomination reasons:

Pokemon: Snorlax
Tier: Overused
Reasoning: Snorlax doesn't get nearly enough love anymore, especially with alot of its counters dwindling in use. Its a great special sponge, letting it come in on baited ice or fire attacks with easy, and once its got a Curse or two up, the number of physical Pokemon that can hurt him drops severly, most of them are on the bottom end of OU, as well. Thus, with some good support, it becomes easy enough for Snorlax to sweep a team.

Pokemon: Heracross
Tier: Overused
Reasoning: Most people assume that with Scizor getting a priority move, its now infinitely better than Heracross. However, a late-game SD Heracross is rather hard to take down, especially with Guts making WoW mostly useless and TWave not as useful. Megahorn and Close Combat make for some absurdly powerful STAB moves, with the possibility of Reversal instead of Close Combat, as was the standard during RSE. Lastly, Stone Edge allows for some great coverage with Megahorn and CC/Reversal, letting Heracross also be a great late-game sweeper.

Everyone get your votes in, or else hold your peace.

For everyone's information, after this we'll be moving on to discussion as to the moveset and team-type of the pokemon.

Oh...I thought we were definitely using Manaphy. Looks like we will be anyways

 

[Mewter]

Is it just me, or did Manaphy being suggested first drastically influence the results (besides it being new to OU)?

Seems that way.

 

[CRASHiC]

Nah, we were all really hyped about Manaphy anyway since she MIGHT comes to OU.

 

[Pete278]

I'm not particularly fond of using the first CaT for a Suspect team, since it may never be usable ever again after this testing period, so remember that people.

Well, yeah. That's how it works. Everyone got so used to the idea of manaphy that the poll was over before it started.


Anyways, congrats manaphy, let's close this poll and work on ideas.

This should be closed now to prevent further spammage (if that's even a word).
