Boulder Gym Festival You make the Team Contest!

[Whitdjinn]

Welcome to the Boulder Gym's 2nd You make the Team contest - though this one is a bit different than the last.

The basics of this contest is fairly simple, I want to see what type of Pokemon you would design if you were the Boulder Gym leader, I want to see what innovative battling minds we have out there on Pokefarm. To enter this contest you will NOT need to breed or train the Pokemon to be judged.

Simply write in a PM form to myself and Revelp8 the EV spread, moveset, species, etc according to the steps outlined below.

The prize? Revelp8 and I will breed, train, and use the winning Pokemon regularly in Boulder Gym battles and a full write up on this Pokemon will be kept within the Boulder Gym archives. You will also be awarded the Pokemon Designer badge.

There will also be an in-game reward of an EV trained poke fitting our gym typing (not sure which one yet).

Lets get down to business - Here are the Rules

* Pokemon must have the EV spread recorded in your summary.
* Pokemon must fit with the Boulder Gym's typing restrictions (Rock and/or Flying)
* Pokemon must be nicknamed with explanation in the summary.
* Pokemon must be effective in battling. (or do whatever it is designed to do)
* You must also submit a write-up describing the strategy when using the entered Poke, and why the Nature/Moveset/Ability was chosen.


Other than that, its wide open, here is the judging criteria -

There will be a total of 50 points granted.

* 15 possible for Effectiveness
* 15 possible for Strategic Description
* 20 possible for Originality


I will send each entry a PM with a breakdown of how it was scored for feedback!

Please post if you would like to enter, as well as any questions you like in this thread, though be careful about exposing any secrets or strategies if you're planning on entering!

Entries should be submitted as soon as possible, judging will be done on the Ides of March! (March 15th)

***UPDATE Entry deadline is midnight on March 13th***

Are we doing an entire team or just 1 poke?
And, can we include the duel type bonus "if you have a poke that matches both pokes you can use one that doesn't match the typing"?

[Whitdjinn]

Just one pokemon for this contest, and it must be Rock and/or Flying.

[Trombones13]

I am in, though I'm not quite sure what I'm entering just yet. :-D

[meeker]

Sign me up too...and as I have copied Kurt on many occasions, I'm not quite sure what I'm entering just yet. (You are always stealing exactly what I'm going to say)

[Bumbee]

* Pokemon must be nicknamed with explanation in the summary.


Count me in for this but do we still need to have a nickname for this since were no longer breeding it?

[Whitdjinn]

yep, its all part of the designing.

[Amos]

[meeker]

Sorry, seems like I was unable to work on it between when I asked for the redo, and the end. So, is it okay if you guys use the copy i sent you the first time?

[revelp8]

yeap, we'll be using your first entry then meeks. I will be closing this thread now, since last night was the deadline. IF ANYONE PMs us with another entry, we will not look at it and it will be deleted.

[Whitdjinn]

This is way way WAY late, and I apologize, but We finally have results for this contest.

Bumbee has won with the following entry!!

(Fluffy)Togekiss@Leftovers
Calm (+SpDef,-Atk)
Serene Grace
252 HP/252 SpDef/6 Def

Substitute
Roost/Wish
Charm
Water Pulse

Togekiss has a high base SpDef of 115 so it would be able to take quite a bit of attacks from special sweepers. This Togekiss is made to force switching on your opponent and when used with toxic spikes and SR support it may destroy an entire team. Substitute and Roost/Wish is there to prolong Fluffy's life. The decision between Roost and Wish is really up to you. If you need more team support then Wish would be better however Roost will remove it's Ice/Elec/Rock weakness for 1 turn. Charm will be used to force switch on physical sweepers. With Serene Grace, Water Pulse will have 40% chance of confusing wich would also make your opponent want to switch. The EVs and nature are in place to survive as many special attacks as possible. Even a Thunder from a Modest Porygon-Z@choice Spec will not be able to OHKO Fluffy(you probably wont ever see 1 of these anyways). You will be able to just roost/sub according to stall out all special sweepers and let poison from toxic spikes kill them or confusion from water pulse when you get the chance. As for taunters, they would have to switch in on a sub and most of them will not carry the attack to put a dent in the sub so it would have to be followed by another switch giving Fluffy a 68% chance to confuse the pokemon before they are able to get through the sub(asuming they break it in 1 hit and go first)
p.s. I failed at thinking up of a nickname lol and this will probably end up as a farm event for me .


Look for revelp8 and I to each have a Fluffy available for us to use very soon!!
