Hello!!!!!
Today we are going to start our new clan project, a clan Counter Team Competition. Hosting this will be mcdoodoo and myself, but I highly encourage everyone in the clan to participate and share your ideas! At the end of every round, mcdanger and I will post our thoughts on the teams so far, something contributors can use to help decide what to nominate next. The way this works is that there will be Team A (my team) and Team B (mcdoodoo's team), and the goal of the project is to counter each others team. The overall project shares many resemblances to a CCAT, in that each round will last one week, and each round will be composed of a nominations and voting period. Each nominations period will be approximately 4 days long, where contributors can nominate Pokemon for a team, providing rationale for both the set and EVs. The voting period will be approximately 3 days long, where the clan will vote on which Pokemon to officially add to the team. Now here is the twist, and what differentiates this from a normal CCAT. Team A will start off the project, taking one week to nominate their team member. Then Team B will get to nominate a member,
with full knowledge of Team A's pokemon and its set. Team B will need to find an appropriate counter for Team A's Pokemon, while keeping the dynamic of their team in mind. After the nomination period for Team B, Team A once again is allowed to nominate and so on. The basis of this project is countering eachothers team, while keeping in mind your own teams synergy and balance. Now naturally, since Team B gets to chose the last Pokemon they have a large advantage, so Team A will be allowed to change
one set at the end of the project, meaning that Team B's team needs to be able to work consistently overall and can't be a sole counterteam. At the end of this project we will have two members of the clan (not necessarily mcdanger and I) battle using the teams in a fun match to see how successfully each team was countered.
Remember that this project is all about having fun and looking at teambuilding from a different aspect, so don't get caught up in any Team A or Team B competition, but rather try and help both teams equally!
With that said, I'd like to open the floor to nominations for Team A's center Pokemon.
