Alright this team is pretty good, you've got your bases covered but there's a large sd sciz weakness once rupt is down and trick on gar could be used instead for vital coverage. Otherwise it's a-ok Well for one, Lop values a coverage move such as t-punch, ice punch, etc to hit other things besides what normal/fighting doesn't already take out with scrappy added on other than that maybe Iron Head or Bulldoze >Flare Blitz/Sacred Fire depending on which stab you don't want. @pyrromanis

Alright you seem to have your basic bases covered, however I'd recommend HP Fire on Lapras over Hydro in order to help against the Mega Sciz problem your Sciz has, and maybe on Oricorio too, Mega Sab does not want to switch in on the +2 Stab and Absol needs to be able to take the +2 stab to begin with tbh +2 0 Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 4- Def Absol: 307-363 (113.2 - 133.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO while Absol needs 40 SpA Life Orb Absol Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Scizor-Mega: 343-406 (100 - 118.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO to be able to kill near max hp. However 252+ SpA Choice Specs Lapras Hidden Power Fire vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Scizor-Mega: 324-384 (94.4 - 111.9%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO on the basic specsra set should kill it @HUEnd

Looks decent, but switch stone edge and x-scissor on Cobal for rocks and taunt, and maybe switch toxapex for a less passive water type wg user, like pelipper or araq.

Alright seems, like a good squad in general, maybe switch out flygon for something that benefits more from the sand maybe, examples being lycanroc-day, chomp + it's mega, etc. also could afford to give shifty a mixed set for sun sweeping if you stick with flygon but if not keep as is b/c it's your only defogger. Ooo I like this one tbh, could afford to switch hydro out for coverage on primarina and psywave for a better stab on Bronzong. In addition, Rock Slide is better on Mence, or maybe Heat Wave to make it more special oriented. Might want to give Sciz K-off, otherwise types such as normal can wall this with ease with the basic of wall spams. Swords Dance Bewear is nice, but the lack of recovery or speed control to use it effectively makes it a bit of a liability, and as such it'd be better with the 4 moves set. Other options beside it include Virizion, which opens you up to hurricane spam from the leaders but performs the fighting stab role well and Cobalion which does the same role + it's steel typing, but also gets taunt + rocks for extra hazards and to stop set up sweepers. Clef with toxic + flamethrower seems a bit weird, I'd make it a cm set so it can help secure more wins or matchups. Could go sub over taunt for easier set up on certain matchups, or maybe eq or bounce for coverage. Pain Split + Trick on Rotom Heat is also a bit odd, and either can be swapped for WoW to cripple physical attackers. Donphan is also a niche choice, with Exca outperforming it in that role, as well as giving it the great steel typing for extra resistances. Alright this team has a host of problems. For one, Trick Room is a playstyle in which mons that can get kills, primarily OHKO's-2HKO's are used to bring about enough havoc before TR is up or to use it to win. 3 TR users isn't optimal, so I'd recommend switching Diancie out for Mega Steelix, as it's bulky, has a nice typing and helps you out on the physical side as well as setting rocks up. You can also switch out Bisharp for Pangoro, as it can grab more OHKO's with a band or an LO set in a turn, while Bisharp needs a turn to set up to doe the same. In addition, your faster mons outside of TR as well as Cresselia (Unless the based Megahorn misses) get smacked by the basic LO Scolipede set, especially with the opposition's rocks up so keep that in mind. @pyrromanis Could switch t-wave on Toge for defog, or switch Scizor from an SD to a Defog set since Virizion is your phys set up sweeper as is and Toxic on PZ could be switched to Shadow Ball or another coverage move, but if you really want toxic, make it a PZ and switch tri attack to recover. @Snowy Amine ( MC Kapper)

Aight here's what I got so far

Welcome everyone to the Mythos League Rate My Team thread. This is a place where you can share your teams so that other competitors can give you some advice for it, and we hope you can do the same for your fellow challengers. No rules to speak of, all we ask is that you use spoilers to make it easier to read, and that you be on your best behavior when criticizing others. While you may not get a reply quickly, the PR will try their best to give you some advice to help make your team as strong as possible. You only get one chance, after all, unless you decide to restart your league challenge. Lastly, the Sign Up Thread will be up by the middle of next week. Said thread will enclose our start up date as well so look out for it in the very near future!

Hello one and all to the new attraction for you all! Welcome to the Mythos League, a grand new challenge for any Pokémon Master, in training or otherwise. Expert and beginners alike, I welcome all of you to meet against the 15 powerful trainers that will stand in your way. So how’s the challenge going to work? To start, we have 12 Leaders skilled in a single type to start you off. Of course, we thought we’d let them have a bit of fun with their teams, and gave them four specific Pokémon outside their type. Don’t worry, they can only use one on their team, and will run at least a single move of the Leader’s type on their moveset. Once you get past them however, you’ll have the Elite Three above them, skilled in two types each, but without wild cards to use against you. As for you all, you’re given eight Pokémon to play around with against the Leaders. You’re free to rotate them however way you wish, as long as you stay with the same eight Pokémon throughout the League. Not only that, as you battle through the League, you’ll be given currency to purchase a few extra edges to help you through your run through, all of which to be revealed in time. Enjoy team building, everyone. We’ll have more information on the start of the League for you all later on. We’ll see you all then! Rules >Challengers will be allowed to choose eight Pokémon to use in battle against the Leaders >Challengers will be allowed to fight only one Leader per day. >Challengers will be restricted to two Legendaries on their team. >Challengers will be allowed to restart the League once per month, but will lose 50% of their Mythos Points (Shop Currency) and all of their badges. Their inventory of shop items will also be cleared. >Silvally and Arceus are locked to one type on a challenger’s team. Unless they are in their Normal Forme, they must be equipped with their proper Memory. >Challengers will gain access to one of the banned mons within the competitive OverUsed tier upon defeating all 12 single type Leaders, at the cost of one of the Pokémon in their team (as of USUM, almost all. We'll have a banlist shortly) >Z Moves are banned. >If an illegal Pokémon, item, or move is found on a challenger’s team, that fight will be considered a loss for the challenger.

Regardless, check the RMT here for teambuilding advice if you need it: We have several people on task to answer any questions you may need and to make topics as well as other jobs. These people are myself ( @DW~/DW#6253), Trevore ( @Trevore/Trevore#6470), and Exalted @Exalted/Exalted#0039). There will also be a FAQ made soon here if we see a question being asked frequently. Finally, I would like to give credit to @Felcatty for helping us with the spritework!

Congrats to @sailboat for winning the tour!

Okay just reminding that the TT is on the 10th at 10am est! Hope y'all show up

http://www.strawpoll.me/13598022 Here's a poll for the time/dates! I tried putting in a poll via forums but that borked on me rip :c

I'll think about it but since this is my first time hosting I didn't want to have such a restrictive mon pool, I do have ways to restrict gameplay which I am considering though (also @the draining move, you could just spam toxicroak since it fits both but I'll check out mon movepools first before implementing.)

@Bibs Both Megas are banned due to the tier being NU so that shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, both are legal as long as one mon with an absorption ability is run, doesn't matter which one in particular. So you could run Lightningrod Manectric if you wanted to.

Alright then so I'm having my try at hosting one of these theme tours and as such there's a challenge. As the title may suggest, in this tour you must run a mon with one of the absorption abilities, which are the regular abilities that absorb attacks, and ones that reduce damage in general by my definition (Water Absorb, Volt Absorb, Flash Fire, Lightning Rod,Fur Coat, Thicc Fat, etc.) OR a draining move (Giga Drain, Draining Kiss, Drain Punch,etc.) . The tier that this tour will be run in is Gen 7 [NU]. *Banlist: Z-Moves, Life Orb, Flame Orb, Toxic Orb (latter 3 for the purpose that the theme of the tour is taking attacks and hp restoration, these items take away health every move or turn) *Might be edited more later but I'll actually do updates on this thread as compared to @Guzam Also feel free to discuss time and date below in the thread! Edit: Just remembered I won't be here on the 5th to host so the tour won't be held then, any other date and time is acceptable until the 12th.
