DougJustDoug said:Name: Perfect Mate
General Description: Pick a good-but-not-great OU pokemon, and design the perfect teammate for it, similar to the way Celebi & Heatran, or Blissey & Skarmory complement each other so well on competitive teams.
Justification:
This would allow us to explore in detail how synergy between two pokemon can be achieved, because currently there are only a few perfect teammates in OU. And depending on the base pokemon we choose to give a "perfect mate", we can open a new niche in the metagame based around the efficient pairing.
The niche we create will be inherently tied to an existing pokemon in the metagame, which should provide a natural limitation to prevent this concept from being broken or "too different" from standard OU.
Questions To Be Answered:
- Is the base pokemon's usefulness (and usage) in the metagame increased as a result of having a "perfect mate"?
- What strategies are more effective for the base pokemon, as a result of having a perfect teammate?
- What are the most effective aspects of the new pokemon, for purposes of making a great teammate with the base pokemon?
- Is the new pokemon viable in the metagame without the base pokemon as a teammate
