    Introducing the Limbo challenge!

    The challenge focuses on lowering the bar by forcing players to use lower tier Pokemon for their team. This will open to a lot of different possibilities with teambuilding and to think out of the box and break free from the standard meta.

    For this challenge you will need to utilize a team with a mixture of the tiers. You will only be allowed to use Three Overused Pokemon, One Underused Pokemon, One Lesser used Pokemon (LU) and one Never used/Never ever used (NEU) Pokemon. That's 3 OU, 1 UU, 1 LU and 1 NU.

    NOTE: You may substitute one of the higher tier Pokemon for a lower tiered one. Obviously if you want to get crazier with the limits you can, but those are the maximum quotas for OU and minimum Quotas for UU and lower allowed. That means that if you really wanted you could use a team of 4 UU's and 2 NU's. We want you to think outside the box, not stick to the standards

    We will be following the current PO tiers located at http://wiki.pokemon-online.eu/wiki/5th_Gen_Tier_List

    The top player of the challenge gets a forum badge, and 2 the runner-ups get a colored user title!

    In order to participate in this challenge you must put the following information in the thread.*

    PO Account: Must be a blank account with no previous ladder record
    Team Style: A general overview of the strategy you are using for the challenge

    In addition to that, you should post updated ladder peaks in this thread once you reach at least 1400, accompanied by screenshots. You should also post an importable of your team and a few logs to show it off in action.

    You may discuss possible sets with other challengers and strategies you can use.

    Make sure that when you are laddering on your alt for the challenge you always have a team that fits the challenge. Anyone trying to cheat the system will face a punishment up to a ban from all future challenges.

    This challenge ends on July 15. If you have any question feel free to ask within the thread or contact me.

    I'm in and it doesn't look that bad, it's common to use even some of the NU pokemon out of that list in competitive OU laddering.

    PO Alt: Omega Weiss

    Team: Anything that I can brew starting from these NU pokemon appearing in the list found after clicking the link in the OP: Abomasnow, Drapion, Gorebyss, Seismitoed, Mandibuzz

    I think this is a great idea to try to find out what niche some of the lower tier pokemon can fulfill.
