in this article i plan to:

• discuss weather-relevant strategies in NU

• discuss the general makeup of weather teams in NU
  • weather teams will always be offensive in xy because of weather timer
• manual weather setters
  • liepard, uxie, prankster users in general
• rain
  • ludicolo
  • kabutops
  • seismitoad
  • poliwrath
• sun
  • exeggutor/victreebel
  • sawsbuck
  • typlosion
• sand
  • less common
  • has the automatic setter of hippopotas
  • stoutland
  • sandslash
• hail
  • there will be a brief mention of hail but not really because its bad

also, i'm going to semi grammar check this article while it's being written to make it easier on actual gpers (due to stuff ive been shown etc) that's if it's approved ofc!

outline looks good to me though lacking details. would like you to note that all effective weather teams in NU are going to be offensive teams - there really aren't any other truly useful ways to utilize it, and non-perma weather means that you'll be wasting defensive potential by trying to reset the weather that you built your team around. even with two pseudo-setters in snover and hippo, they lose their eviolite and become much less useful defensively.

(also, please put a lil unreleased section onto hail: it'll be much more viable than it is now when aurorus gets snow warning... although not much. it's still better than babby snowman!)

alright Zebraiken , do i have your approval to post this then?

 

[jake]

would just like if at least one of sg + ras come around to confirm and/or post their own thoughts, too - ik ras is super busy and sg is doing a lot of irl stuff lately, so if they don't get the chance to do it in the next couple days then you do. just be sure to hmu again when it's written up or the skelly is more fleshed out, and i can try to give some more help & input then. :D
