Approved by the PU moderation team.
Welcome to PU Battle of the Week! Every other week, the community will have the opportunity to decide a matchup between two players for everyone to enjoy!
What is the purpose of this thread?
This thread is a great way for newcomers to hone their skills and be watched by everyone outside of common tournament settings. It’s also a space to showcase some of the already established talent of PU across the generations. Creative teambuilding, new faces, effective game knowledge and more, decided by the community for the community.
So how does it work?
There are technically two phases to this project: Phase 1 consists of a vote; anyone can vote for 3 individual competitors, these can be literally any member of the community, new or well known. At the end of the week, the 2 competitors with the highest vote count get to face each other.
Phase 2 consists of the match between the two competitors. As a competitor you will be given a full week to get your games done against your opponent. You’re able to decide your rules for the games, though if there isn’t a preferred set of rules, SV BO3 is usually the best. If you’re knowledgeable in old gens, you can also opt to play one or multiple ones. This is a fairly flexible “rule”, just have fun and showcase your love for the PU tiers in whichever way you prefer and settle on it with your opponent.

Rules
- You’re not allowed to vote for the two previous competitors. This thread is meant to showcase a varied cast of personalities, so seeing one or two of the same people go at it against each other is just kinda sillycoded.
- Please do not vote for yourself, silly!
- Replays are mandatory!

so lets look at it thru the team matchups!
thanks to its broken ability, the grassy terrain style, and other forms of HO cheese are definitely not as viable as they were last month. This is because of 
and 
dropping back down, with high spdef stats and haze, cheesing through them is extremely difficult. Without them, I have no doubt Farigiraf would be broken. More ways of stopping cheese like prankster encore, and clear smog 
and low power moves from slowish mons, sub bu 
HO like the farigiraf team are a very risky load for a high stakes environment, though I wouldn't count it out, we have a lot of new strong attackers.
