Pokémon Matchmaking
All Pokemon are unable to function completely independently; this is where teammates come in. Teammates assist one another in achieving goals that a Pokemon may have in mind--whether that be sweeping or walling, there are effective teammates for every Pokemon.
This project aims to find the best partners for a variety of Pokemon. These may range from metagame defining Pokemon to more underrated threats.
Procedure
Every week, a Pokemon will be nominated for discussion: the goal being to find the best, and most effective partners for the nominated Pokemon. During the one-week period, everyone will have the chance to submit one Pokemon that they feel supports the nominated Pokemon best. I will then open voting and a participant-number-dependent number of winners will added to the winners archive, with users who enter five or more times being added to the hall of fame. In addition, the posts which I feel display a very high quality with regards to post quality (amount and relevance of info, concision/lack of fluff etc.) will be put in a separate, more prestigious subjective archive archive which will function as a "sample posts" section, so to speak.
Rules
1. Stick to Pokemon ranked above D on the NU Viability Rankings. Pokemon that are not ranked, should not be nominated unless you really know what you’re talking about.
2. Reservations are allowed. If you have not posted your reserved Pokemon after 24 hours, other users may nominate the Pokemon you had reserved and may complete it themselves.
3. Please include a set for your submission; don't submit a Pokemon if you aren't even going to give me any other information about what it is you are submitting.
4. Don't theorymon. Post Pokemon that you have had experience with.
5. Explain how and why the Pokemon you have nominated works well. For example, do the two Pokemon have offensive synergy (with respect to being able to wear down similar checks and counters) or defensive synergy (with respect to being able to wall a portion of the metagame due to typing, or role fulfilment)?
6. Be considerate of others when posting, and only post when necessary; try not to post one-liners.
7. Calcs and replays are nice, but not compulsory.
