The Next Best Thing is a project where the users can submit & search for various creative but viable Pokemon sets, utilising the power of various underlooked & unexpected moves/items, or a combination of both in a set.
Here, you'll find many sets that might seem vague, but in reality carves out a niche in this metagame. These sets are excellent at acting as a surprise factor, which can totally change the the match.
You may also find how potent a Pokemon can be by looking, playing & even creating some out-of-the-box sets, that are definitely unworthy at first sight.
The sets here posted should obviously be viable, avoiding jokes such as Choice Band Blissey that can't be taken serious. Posting meme sets will also drive the host crazy.
Before submitting any set, you must read the Procedures, Rules & Regulations of the forum.
- Every cycle (1 per week), a new Pokemon will be chosen for participants to create a new, creative yet effective sets.
- All the existing sets (or WIPs) on the Smogdex are disallowed.
- The participants will get 4 days to submit their sets in this forum.
- Voting will be held during the last three days of the week.
- All the winning sets will be kept in the Hall of Fame (see next reply).
- Be as creative as possible, but your creativity must also show some viability.
- You may only post 1 set per cycle.
- You are not allowed to take sets from Smogdex & WIPs.
- Making some minor changes in the existing sets of Smogdex won't work.
- Set explanation is a must.
- Be detailed with your sets & replies as much as you can. You may (please) include Replies, teammates options, threats, usage tips, & even a team built around the set.
- You are free to discuss others' sets in the Submission time, but can't discuss set after the voting begins.
- You are allowed to suggest potential changes in others' sets, if it doesn't bother him/her.
- You are allowed to reserve your set in this forum (not suggested though), but the reservation won't last more than 24 hours. If so, your reservation will be denied & others will get the chance to copy your set (so don't lose the opportunity).
- Please name your sets based on the moves & items, & not random funny names.
- You aren't allowed to copy anyone else's set, not even the reserved ones.
- It is illegal to post illegal sets. If found doing such illegal stuff, you'll be declared illegal from this very Legal forum.
- You are allowed to change your set before the Voting begins (though this may create confusions & isn't recommended).
- You can't vote for your own set.
- Creating new accounts to vote, manipulating others to vote your sets & other such tricks are strictly forbidden. If found, you'll be banned from posting here.
- Try to avoid double-posting.
- If you have any queries regarding this post, prefer asking me personally through Conversations or Profile Posts. Avoid asking questions on this forum.
- Follow the Forum Rules & be polite with other members here.
- At last, the most important rule. Just Have Fun
