It's back--again--by popular demand because I want it to be, AGAIN: NAME THAT TEAM :>
How to play
Using a list of a team's tier placements, weaknesses, resistances, and immunities, determine the members of that team.
Team Selection Guidelines
1. Smogon tiers only: http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/
- For the purposes of this game, assume all BL Pokemon are UU, and all BL2 Pokemon are RU.
- For the purposes of this game, every Pokemon's Dream World ability is viable for selection, even if it hasn't officially been released.
- Until the Kalos natives have been tiered, you will receive "Gen 6" as a tiering hint.
-- If a Mega Evolution is present on a team, it will be tiered as Gen 6 instead of its standard tier (i.e. Mega Blastoise would be listed as Gen 6 instead of UU).
2. Teams will always have six Pokemon.
- NFE Pokemon may be valid team selection choices if they appear in the tier listing. (The NFE tier will never be used, however.)
-- Only fully evolved Kalos natives are eligible, however, until they receive official Smogon tiering.
3. Species clause is in effect.
4. Once a Pokemon has been correctly guessed, it must be included in all future guesses for those guesses to be considered legit. If any previously revealed team member is not in the current guess, the entire guess will be marked wrong.
5. You get five guesses max. If you don't guess all six members correctly within five guesses, I win.
6. Guesses must be properly formatted to be counted as a guess. See below.
How to guess
Put this anywhere in your post:
PMJ, we think this is your team:
Poke1
2
3
4
5
6
Then I will reply with which Pokemon, if any, are part of the team, and relay how many guesses you guys have left.
Misc. tips
1. For the purposes of this game, a weakness is any type that does at least 150% damage or more. Conversely, a resistance is any type that does 50% damage or less. An immunity, obviously, is any type that does no damage.
- A Pokemon with Dry Skin is weak to Fire.
2. This is a team game, and the teams are everyone vs. me. Work together. You can use any research you like in your search for answers.
3. If a Pokemon has a double weakness to a type, it will be listed only once.
- ex. A team of Butterfree, Ledian, Yanmega, Beautifly, Vivillon, and Mega Pinsir would only show 6 Rock weaknesses, not 12
4. If a Pokemon has two Mega Evolutions, you must distinguish between the two if you believe it is part of the team.
5. Each team member will have a specific ability, the same as if you were actually building this team. Keep that in mind when determining weaknesses and resistances. A Ninetales with Flash Fire is immune to Fire, but one with Drought is not.
6. Don't look at competitive viability when figuring out team members. If you figure out Drought Ninetales is on the team, don't start looking for Chlorophyll sweepers and sun abusers because chances are you won't find them. Team members are pretty much chosen arbitrarily.
7. Post freely. The point is to work together, so you can post whatever you want. Not every post has to be a guess.
And that's pretty much it. Once the round ends, I post new team specs and the game begins anew.
Can you Name That Team?
Here are the specs for round 1:
Tiers
6 Gen 6
Weaknesses
1 Dark
1 Dragon
1 Electric
2 Fighting
1 Fire
1 Ghost
2 Grass
4 Ground
1 Ice
1 Poison
1 Psychic
2 Rock
3 Steel
2 Water
Resistances
3 Bug
2 Dark
1 Electric
1 Fairy
3 Fighting
4 Fire
2 Flying
2 Grass
3 Ice
2 Normal
2 Poison
1 Psychic
1 Steel
1 Water
Immunities
2 Dragon
We're gonna start off with an easy one.
