Something Worth Fighting For
Another Boring Sun Team
Introduction
**Hello everyone and welcome to my first ever RMT. While we've been waiting for Gen 7 PU to come out, the PU Community has been playing a lot of what we call "PU Old Gens," in preparation for our PU Classic Tournament. Unfortunately, I was eliminated in Round 3 of the BW PU Open, which at first may not seem too impressive. However, this team has went toe to toe against some of the biggest NU and PU players, and is very hard to stop if you don't have a dedicated Sun check.**

Conclusion
**Thanks for looking at my first ever RMT. I'd also like to thank you in advance for all your feedback. I'm really happy to share with you all this team I've found success with, and I hope you all find success with it as well.**
Threat List
- Jumpluff--This thing is a nuisance for my team as 99% it has Chlorophyll itself and can outspeed either Victreebel and Shiftry and can KO them with Flying Gem Acrobatics or put them to sleep with Sleep Powder. The best way to remove Jumpluff is to put alot of Offensive pressure on it with Rotom-Frost and Rapidash and let residual damage from Stealth Rocks take care of him. Volbeat can also check it by utilizing Thunder Wave. However, Volbeat doesn't really want to take an Acrobatics in return, especially if its Flying Gem boosted.
- Scarf Cloud Nine Golduck--This Pokemon plays a lot of 50/50s with this team. If you predict a Water-type move, stay in with Victreebel and Shiftry. If you predict the Ice-type move, go into Rapidash and Rotom-Frost. Every Offensive team member has a Super-Effective move against it, so if you play carefully, it shouldn't be an overwhelming issue, especially since Shiftry's Sucker Punch does a hefty chunk.
- Scarf Zebstrika--Scarf Zebstrika outspeeds the entire team even in Sun, and threatens the team STAB Thunderbolts and Sun-boosted Overheats. However, this is another Pokemon that takes a hefty chunk from Shiftry's Sucker Punch.
