Name: Utility Counter
General Description: This Pokemon is capable of being customized to counter virtually any specific Pokemon, but is incapable of countering a large number of Pokemon at the same time.
Justification: It is not unusual for people to say that "versatility is broken" from an offensive standpoint; less attention is given to versatile defensive Pokemon such as Zapdos or Hariyama. This Pokemon would allow us to study the impact of having a Pokemon that is capable of dealing with such varied threats as Salamence, Lucario, and Gengar....but not all at once.
Questions To Be Answered:
--How useful is defensive versatility in a metagame with so many different threats to account for?
--Given the existence of a Pokemon that can hard counter only specific major threats, which threats will be prepared for the most?
--How would team building change if certain difficult-to-prepare-for threats became easier to prepare for?
--Which is more useful, a Pokemon that can somewhat handle a wide range of threats, or a Pokemon that can handle a few threats extremely well?

IMPORTANT: This time there will be NO confusion in regard to how you vote in this thread. You will post the list of non-attacking moves, and bold the ones you want to allowed. Don't bold the ones you don't think should be allowed. There is no abstaining. The script counts what is bolded, nothing more, nothing less.

Controversial

Heart Swap
Aqua Ring
Encore
Transform
Metal Sound

Moves that receive a majority of the votes will be listed as allowed in the final movepool submissions thread, and ones that recieve a minority will be considered disallowed. This is a bold poll, so you *can* just post a vote and nothing else, but you are welcome to back up your choices with logic. This is not an on-going discussion thread, so you should confine what you have to say to your one post and move on. If you post in this thread and you are not voting, the post will be deleted and possibly infracted.

I also want to make this completely clear: If a move is not listed here and it's not listed in disallowed, you can pretty much assume it's allowed due to not being judged as competitive. So you shouldn't be worrying about that.

No being a Negative Nancy. This thread will be open for about 24 hours, again.
