The Goal
The object of the game is to post the best possible Pokemon that counters the core posted by myself at the start of every round. By posting 1 or 2 Pokemon that counters the duo, we will obtain knowledge of the metagame and you will gain points. Another aspect of the game is to prevent the other players from getting points, and this is done by proving in this thread that their post does not counter the duo as well as they say it does. Without further ado, let's play.
Logistics
The rules:
- You are to post 2 Pokemon or 1 Pokemon that counter(s) the above core single handedly. Needing SR, Rapid Spin, or Dual Screens support greatly hurts your argument and will likely prevent you from getting points.
- Post the complete set(s) of your Pokemon, including EVs, nature, item, and moveset.
- Do not include a Pokemon in your post that has already been used this round.
- Post reasoning and how you will play your Pokemon against the above core. If you can't prove to us that your Pokemon counter(s) the above, then you will not get points for it.
- Feel free to question someone's post with reasoning / calcs if you believe they are incorrect; this could prevent them from getting points.
- People will get points at the end of the round based on if I feel their Pokemon really does counter the above core.
