RMT of the Week
co-hosted with Team Pokepals, IronBullet and Sun
Want your team noticed by a lot of people? Do you want all the efforts you put into testing your team and writing up your RMT to count? This is where RMT of the Week comes in! The aim of this project is to give people who put effort into making quality RMTs the attention they deserve. There are a lot of teams out there that are well-built and presented, but often left in the dark. Not anymore!
Concept

  • Every week, we will nominate a few teams as candidates for the RMT of the Week.
  • These teams are put in a poll. Everyone can vote for the team they think is most deserving of the award.
  • At the end of the week, the winner will be the team that receives the most votes.
Prizes

So what's in it for the winners? Well, the winning team will be announced on social media. It will also be recorded in the Hall of Fame, which will be posted in the OP for each week, and people are encouraged to rate it. Winning the RMT of the Week also increases the chance of having your RMT added to the Team Showcase, subject to review, since it brings it to the notice of the staff. Finally, the winner will have an opportunity to give a brief interview.

RMT Requirements

  • Make sure your team is viable and effective: This one is self-explanatory. If your team doesn't fit into its tier or metagame, or lacks any kind of success, it won't have a high chance of being selected. It doesn't have to be archive worthy though, and it doesn't have to have peaked at #1; a moderately successful team can make it, but it has to work.
  • Your team should be well-presented: Wouldn't you enjoy posting in a thread more if it was visually appealing? If you put effort into presenting your team attractively, people will be more willing to rate it. We appreciate it when you take time to improve the quality of your RMTs, as it enhances the quality of the forum.
  • Be nice and receptive to people's opinions: No one likes to rate the team of a close-minded person!
For those whose teams are selected, don't ask anyone, be it friends or anyone else, on the forums or on PS! to vote for you. For friends of the people whose teams get selected, the same goes for you as well: please don't post the link in chat rooms to try and get people to vote.

The first time someone is caught cheating, their team will be disqualified and removed from the ongoing week. If someone is caught cheating for a second time, they will be permanently banned from the project.

We caught up with Week 6's winner pancake to ask him a few questions about his PU RMT: Short Skirt, Long Jacket

1. Can you give a brief description of your team? What do you think is the reason behind its success?
My team is built around Sub + Belly Drum Politoed, which is kind of a meme, paired with special Gogoat to lure bulky Grass-types. Toed usually cleans, but I have an alternate cleaner in Scarf Mime. The rest of the team is used to additionally wallbreak or provide support for Politoed to sweep. It is probably successful because it takes advantage of metagame trends, i.e. the use of Lumineon as a water check and the popularity of Golem.

2. Have you received any useful feedback for your team?
Before I posted the rmt I got some feedback from friends like ShuckleDeath, The Jungle Fox, and Lord Sample Team and that was really helpful. I got my team rated by HJAD and it definitely suggested some decent alternatives that I will try.

3. Is there any advice you'd like to give to RMT posters?
Yeah, I always find RMTs more approachable when they are formatted nicely, perhaps with the RMT formatter tool or whatever. Also I'd suggest that people focus on the support that a mon provides for its teammates in the description, I feel like people focus too much on the moves a Pokemon has.

4. As a PU player, what are your plans until SM PU? Would you look into learning another tier or just wait until PU's ready?
It's a pain that we have to wait so long :/. I've been playing some SM OU which is pretty fun even though the tier is a little bit crazy right now, and I also played NU during ORAS so I'll start playing that as soon as the alpha comes out. Hopefully the time will go by fast.

Thanks for taking the time to do this and congrats again!
