The Outsiders Challenge

Introduction & Rules
We should all know that our BW OU tier is dominated by strategies such as sand and rain abuse, as well as deadly VoltTurn teams. However, that's not necessarily all there is to this beautiful and diverse tier! In an effort to liven up OU and add a bit of diversity, I thought a fun challenge would be worthwhile! First, let's take a look at the top 10 Pokemon in the 1337 usage statistics.
Rules (Part 2)
Okay so we're not done with the rules yet, sorry! Before you hit the ladder with your amazing team, I would love it if you could please fill out a form to help us keep track of your laddering escapades!

Rules (Part 2)
Okay so we're not done with the rules yet, sorry! Before you hit the ladder with your amazing team, I would love it if you could please fill out a form to help us keep track of your laddering escapades!
This is to help me keep track of our current leaders! Updating your standing after peaking is usually a good idea, and taking screenshots frequently after getting high on the ladder is also recommended. After achieving a qualifying ranking (1400+), post here with your screenshot and an importable of your team so we can see what ways you are using to be creative! By the way, you must start a new laddering alt for each team you make, and you must start with an alt of 1000 points or lower. Remember, this is supposed to be fun and challenging, and cheating is no way to promote that!Registry Form said:PO alt used when laddering: harsha2014
Type of team: balance
Ladder standing: 1000
Now, some tips for discussion:
- Feel free to post an importable of your team and point out weaknesses to see how people would go about fixing them. However, this is not the build-me-a-team project! You should be trying to be as self-sufficient as possible!
- Feel free to discuss current trends in the metagame and good Pokemon that readily combat them! This will help others that are attempting the challenge and can help in promoting diversity!
- Try and be helpful when addressing other people's problems! You would want help when you hit a rut, wouldn't you?
