...I think that list will do


note, these are just suggestions, ANY theme may go if you have any more ideas (unless the theme is Pokemon that are very strong and always win ;P). Color-coded teams include shinies


Please post your teams and explain why each pokemon fits the theme. If the thread decides that a mon doesn't fit the theme, a replacement is needed, so try and go with the theme, instead of shoe-horning the theme somehow unto the best and strongest. This is not competetive.




Note that if you choose to go with the option of changing your team upon losing, you may also change the theme

I'm still in for this

[scapheap]

Team myth-No legendary Pokémon, every mon has to be based on a real world legend or myth.

Lapras-Based on the Lock Ness monster
Houndoom-Based on Cerberus and every other hellhound story.
Lucario-Based on Anubis or if not allow, Skarmory-based on Stymphalian birds
Exeggutor-Based on a Jinmenju
Sableye-Based on the Hopkinsville Goblin
Torterra-Based on World Turtles from many mythologies and the disc world novels.

[Akroma]

sounds good. Lucario seems pretty anubis to me.



I think I will be going with "You mad bro"

Whimsicott - pretty obvious choice here. Prankster with status moves and subseeding options can pop blood vessel with rage
Jirachi - very good defensive typing, alongside the infamous serene grace ability makes for a deadly para-flinch set. basicaly cheesing your way to victory. ragequits left right and center
Sableeye - basicaly the same as whimsicott, Prankster with status and recover, also no weaknesses. People be raging
Gliscor - with poison-heal, Gliscor is just bordering unfair. stalling all day, everyday
Chansey - the infamous wall of "no you don't". nearly endless stalling abilities, and with wish the ability to basicaly revive any of the other annoyers make it a prime-annoyer.
Skarmory - like Chansey, but in the physical department. lays out them spikes and rocks, and then just shuffles the enemy around, a cheesy tactic that leaves people raging.

side-board: Ferrothorn - is equipped with a rocky helmet, it's a perfect switch-in into almost any physical attack, often the opponent will take more damage from attacking ferrothorn than Ferrothorn takes from that attack. If Sable-eye set that physical attacker on fire and/or leech seed is on, if the enemy holds a life-orb or is doing a recoil attack, the punishment for attacking ferrothorn can be ridiculous. I HATE ferrothorns that are played like this.


it's a first draft. I am aware that a team that is built upon "annoy the fuck out of the other player" might, well, annoy everyone, so I am willing to take a different team, should this team be too good at what the theme suggests

[scapheap]

sounds good. Lucario seems pretty anubis to me.

I am still stuck between the choices "you mad bro", "fluffy and soft" and "pokemon that probably taste good"

all have some fun choices

I was tempted to do team Wait, what?-6 magicarps since the 'no doubles' rule was missing, but Houndoom called out to me.

- Species Clause. Only one mon per pokedex number, for versatility. Negotations may be made in themed tournaments.


it's not missing

[Kashyyk]

But it's not a double it's a sextuple! /ruleslawyer


anyway, PTW

why just watch if you could join? make team rulemonger with pokemons such as...err...well....I have no idea, but maybe you do

[Kashyyk]

Because although I like it, I'm absolutely horrendous at the game.

[Akroma]

if you look around, you will notice you are right at home with that level of skill. Give it a try, it's not about winning, and I'll see ot it that you aren't paired off against the top players from the getgo. And with everyone using themed teams, nobody will have really strong ones anyway

[Kansa]

Yeah I am pretty terrible as well and if you need help with a build for a pokemon smogon university is a great place to go to

Edit:Also am I allowed to use different forms of rotom on the same team or do they all count as one pokemon

[Akroma]

same pokedex number. so same pokemon. If your theme is "inanimate objects" I suppose it's fine though

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Right, I'm willing to give this a go.

However, I'd advise placing a new rule: NO DISCUSSING THE META.

Insert joke related to this.
