Hey guys! Welcome to the newest edition of PU matchmaking, with yours truly, pancake!
All Pokemon are unable to function effectively without their checks and counters gone, which is where their teammates come in. These partners are capable of dismantling multiple Pokemon proving a threat to their teammates, providing invaluable support and thus are often seen as the heart of the team. This project aims to brainstorm various ideal and effective partners to various Pokemon that may range from metagame defining Pokemon to more underrated threats.
Every week, I will nominate a Pokemon for discussion of potential partners and submissions. During the first few days of that week, you will submit a partner for that Pokemon. During the next few days of that week, you and the community will vote on your favorite partner for said Pokemon. The person with the most votes for that week will get their submission archived. People that manage to get into the archive multiple times with good submissions will be let into the Hall of Fame!
Rules
1. If it isn't on the viability rankings, don't nominate it. Also don't nominate it if it is E-rank on the viability rankings. You can find the viability rankings here. Pokemon such as Gigalith and Meganium are not viable in the PU metagame and therefore should not be nominated.
2. Reservations are allowed, but please complete your submission within 24 hours. If you do not finish your reservation within 24 hours, then it is allowed to be taken by another user.
3. Nominate Pokemon that you have used or have knowledge of using. Do not nominate Pokemon that you think may work, but don't know if they will.
4. Explain how and why the Pokemon that you chose is a good partner for that week's Pokemon. For example, an offensive threat may want partners that weaken its checks.
5. Be nice.
6. One partner per user per week!
Have Fun!
