2. Each person is allowed 1 Lure per week, and I'd personally prefer it if people don't copy other lures from that week. The more original the better. Also, I'd like it if we kept a low amount of resist berries.
3. After the 5 days have passed, the community will pick the top lure as a winner. Next everyone will vote on which lure they deem to be the best.
4. The winners and their lure will be saved and recorded.
5. For the voting phase simply post the users name without @'ing them to not cause any inconveniences
Keep this in mind when you post a lure:
1. Does this Pokemon have to sacrifice anything important? If you're losing a key part of a set just for an uncommon threat that isn't even lured in that is what we call a "bad lure", always consider what you give up in order to lure something, that is very important.
2. Does this Pokemon gain anything important when using this moveset? The contrary to point number one, does this pokemon or the team benefit from the lure.
3. Could this method be better aided through teammates? Does your lure need team support to carry out it's role effectively.

READ THE BIT ABOUT WHAT MAKES A GOOD LURE BEFORE POSTING A LURE
Welcome to the PU Lure That Thread! We all know what lures are and what they do, specific pokemon that run an unexpected move or moveset in order to weaken or directly ohko a specific threat, and pave the way for another sweeper, having said that though, there isn't that much of a focus on lures in the PU Forum, and a good deal of lures used by battlers aren't really that optimal, this project tries from a competition to see what the ingenuity of people can come up with, and, hopefully; improve the Teambuilding aspect we have at the moment, without further adeu, here are the rules:

How the thread will function:
1. Each week I'll nominate a threat (with their moveset) during the following week the community will nominate their lures in order to handle said threat or wall, of course Damage Calcs (under a Hide Tag) are appreciated.
2. Each person is allowed 1 Lure per week, and I'd personally prefer it if people don't copy other lures from that week. The more original the better. Also, I'd like it if we kept a low amount of resist berries.

An example of a lure submission post:
Mesprit as a lure to Skuntank
Mesprit @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Hidden Power [Ground]
- Stealth Rock
- Healing Wish
Skuntank is commonly used as a Mesprit check since it can threaten Mesprit with crunch and defog any Stealth Rocks that it wants to set. In return Mesprit commonly uses Ice Beam, which only chunks Skuntank a small amount when considering Black Sludge recovery. With Hidden Power Ground over Ice Beam Mesprit has a very small chance to 2HKO Skuntank after Black Sludge, meaning that it is able to severely weaken Skuntank if it tries to switch in on Hidden Power Ground, or if it chooses to Defog immediately after Mesprit sets Stealth Rocks. Colbur berry further helps the match-up as it allows Mesprit to survive Crunch even if chipped, and also helps it stay healthy if Pursuit trapped.
