not quite too old for this, apparently
We need to get the ball rolling on this, and since Doug appointed me head of testing, Im going to split this up to make it more efficient. The main purpose of this is to make weather teams using the pokemon named and pokemon that can take advantage of the weather.
Im going to split this up into "Divisions". All division leaders will be chosen by me, however, they can choose people they want in their division (I'll review the choices after.) Rosters should have 5 people MAX, not including leaders. The two Kyogre/Groudon variation pairs must find counters to themselves and the Hail/Sand teams, not the other set. What I mean by this is that the level 78 teams need to find 4 different counters: Blue Team, Red Team, White Team and Brown Team. The same goes for the "lite" variations.
However, the Sand and Hail Teams don't need to find counters for each other, but counters for ALL variations. The Control Group only needs to test itself against all the teams and find counters for the Sun/Rain teams. The reason for this is that Hail, Sand, and "Clear" aren't being changed. I hope it somewhat makes sense.
Division 1: Level 78 Kyogre "Blue Team"
Roster: Bass, SkarmBlissCounter (Dixie Normas), Sanjay120, Eric the Espeon
Purpose: Since Level 78 was found to be the optimal level for balancing ubers in OU by X-Act (Who i'd be very grateful of if he posted his formula here for intelligent discussion), Kyogre is being tested at this level in OU.
Division 2: Level 78 Groudon "Red Team"
Roster: The Artic One, Oxymoron, 3N3MY
Purpose: Same as Kyogre. However, after reading the previous thread, the general consensus was that people thought that Rain had a large advantage over Sun. If this is found to be true, we could raise the level of Groudon to balance it out.
Division 3: Kyogrette "Purple Team"
Roster: Sunday, Kr3wbro (Spanky), Logann
Purpose: Kyogrette and Groudonino were brought up in the other thread. The main concept is to take 30 points off all stats and make it a set amount of time for Auto-Rain/Sun. This is because some people think that Perma-Rain/Sun is broken, and is instead of lowering the level of the weather ubers.
Division 4: Groudino "Pink Team"
Roster: Deck Knight, Cooley, Galahad, Lord Gloom
Purpose: Same as Kyogrette.
Division 5: Abomasnow "White Team"
Roster: Stall
Purpose: This is to use standard Hail with no changes for better or worse as a comparison to the other teams.
Division 6: Tyranitar/Hippowdon "Brown Team"
Roster: Bloods Cuc, GuyNamedBlaq
Purpose: Same as Hail, only with Sand. This may be the better measure of wether or not the other weather teams are broken, since Sand is MUCH better than Hail due to more pokemon able to take advantage of it.
Division 7: Control "Clear Team" (Just a standard team.)
Roster: Time Mage, Alphabet_Soup
Purpose: Dane's idea. Basically create a standard no-weather changing team. This may or may not include Air Lock/Cloud Nine pokemon.
Ok, post away and we'll discuss this for about...3 days before we start.
QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED NOW:
What Level for Kyogre and Groudon and why.
How long the Auto-Weather lasts on the "lite" versions.
Should they get Water Spout/Eruption.
