NeverUsed Showcase
In which, we discuss offensive and defensive threats in the NU metagame. Song of the Week:
Pokemon of the Week: Steelix (Mega) Viability in NU: S Rank - Steelix's versatility makes it easy to fit onto almost any type of team.The ability to beat many Setup Sweepers 1v1 while simultaneously supporting the team and packing quite a punch make this snake a force to be reckoned with. Its combined offensive and defensive prowess make it a crime to not include the Iron Snake in S rank. Sets to use on Steelix:
Also a very neato core based around Mega Steelix is Vileplume-Hariyama-Megalix:
These are Megalix's main sets which have been proven successful time and time again on the NeverUsed ladder. Common lures to watch for are Specs Swellow carrying Heat Wave and Focus Sash Jynx with Counter. Not overly common but just be on the lookout for them if they try to switch into you :]. Good teammates for Steelix are things that can sponge up Fire/Fighting/Water attacks aimed at Steelix. Setup Sweepers that enjoy Steelix's impeccable wallbreaking ability are also great teammates. I hope everyone learned a little from the very first "NU Showcase"!! Be prepared for a weekly thread breaking down the scariest threats in NU.
