Welcome to Project (Balanced) Hackmons, where we "investigate" parts of the BH metagame, be it pokemon, items, abilities, or moves, in the hopes of discovering unique sets, fine tuning old ones, and giving old and forgotten sets a second chance to shine.
Project (Balanced) Hackmons will be updated weekly (every friday) by myself and moderator DTC.
With all that taken care of, the concept we will be investigating this week is...
Contrary
I know we've been doing pokemon up to this point, but I'd like to take a look at one of the more popular battle strategies, specifically the pokemon that can utilize Contrary.
Staple Contrary Mons
Lesser Used Contrary Mons (If you present sufficient evidence for a pokemon's potential it could end up in here)
