Strategy & Metagame NU sets popularized by SPL

[scorpdestroyer]

hi, can I write an article about some of the sets popularized by SPL players in NU? Sets like:

- CM + 3 attacks Uxie
- CB Sneasel
- Healing Wish Musharna
- fast offensive spikes Garbodor
- Hariyama with coverage moves (ThunderPunch, EQ)
- AV Magmortar
- bulky SD Scyther
- maybe more?

and for each mon I'd talk about: metagame trends at that time, what they do, show a replay in action

I know Raseri liked the post, but gonna ping him and Zebraiken again just to make sure there isn't anything else to add here.

I thought bulky sd scyther was a thing even before SPL? :o

it got way more popular because of SPL, before that band and scarf were more common (i took it from the SPL dump threat, still think its a set worth mentioning)
