Counter That Pokemon! EXTREME EDITION ZOMG CAN WE HANDLE IT
What's up CAPpers! This thread is an expansion upon the gen6 CAP Yum or Yuck thread with one important rule change: the Pokemon that you post must be able to counter the two previous Pokemon posted. You post only one mon at a time, just like always. I have no idea how we're going to be able to handle this thread, but I'm bored so let's give it a try!
For example, let's say I start off the thread by posting a set for Physically Defensive Cyclohm and Flame Orb Colossoil. cbrevan can respond by posting a set for Kerfluffle. Cbrevan's Kerfluffle counters the initial Cyclohm and Colossoil (YUM), so the next person needs to post a counter to the Kerfluffle set and the Colossoil set, and so on. If no one can come up with a counter for a certain pair of threats, I'll reset the game after a few days. In this thread, you can be as creative as you want, just keep in mind that posting a weird/unviable set might be really easy for the next person to counter. All Pokemon legal in CAP and OU are fair game!
There are just a few rules
1. If two people respond to a threat at the same time, the first one to post takes priority. Or, if the first poster doesn't actually counter the threat (YUCK), the first one to post with a real counter takes priority, and their Pokemon becomes the next threat to counter.
2. FOCUS SASH IS BANNED - Hopefully this is self-explanatory; this item gives freedom to many Pokemon to defeat a bunch of mons they wouldn't normally counter. So please don't submit mons with Focus Sash.
3. The ability to win must be greater than 50%, preferably much higher. If your mon relies on hitting multiple Focus Blasts in a row or Zap Cannon or something, it won't be counted.
4. Don't make reservation posts. This is a somewhat fast-paced project, so take the time to make an actual post if you're going to post.
5. Don't post terribly unviable sets for the sake of posting terribly unviable sets. It goes against the spirit of this project, as it requires next to no thought for the next poster to counter the mon, and it doesn't teach us any relevant information about the metagame. I'm completely fine with niche or lesser used mons being used, but not intentional garbage mons (use your judgement).
6. Please please post calcs unless we'll dealing with a 4x SE attack or something else ridiculously obvious like a 2x SE fire attack in the sun.
It's my hope that this thread will be entertaining for all and foster some potential ideas for teambuilding. Let's get started!
