Alright tier shifts are a better time than ever to /properly/ revive this metagame.
The Pokemon allowed in PU have been updated in the OP to match the most recent tier shifts.
I think it would be fun to do a speed CCAT akin to RoA's. Step 1 will be dedicated to choosing a Pokemon for our team to be based around and a playstyle. 24 hours will be spent suggesting and 24 hours will be spent voting.
I'm going to kick this off by suggesting Combusken
Trait: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Substitute
- Protect
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
and a playstyle of Offense
I'm suggesting Combusken because, although its special attack is mediocre, its strong STABs and the excellent coverage they provide make it worthwhile. Many top Pokemon such as Rampardos, Rotom-F, and Ursaring, as well as the plethora of Grass-types that appear are nailed by its attacks. Not to mention it's one of the few Pokemon to receive speed boost. However Swanna resists both of its STABs and presents itself are dominant threat
