It's back by popular demand because I want it to be and we finally have tiers: NAME THAT TEAM :>
How to play
Using a couple of clues and a list of a team's tier placements, weaknesses, resistances, and immunities, determine the members of that team.
Rules
1. Smogon B/W tiers only: http://www.smogon.com/bw/tiers/
- For the purposes of this game, assume all BL Pokemon are UU.
- Smeargle will never be on any team because him learning everything makes it too difficult.
- Shedinja will never be on any team because Wonder Guard makes it too easy.
- For the purposes of this game, every Pokemon's Dream World ability is viable for selection, even if it hasn't officially been released.
2. Teams will always have six Pokemon.
3. Species clause is in effect.
4. Once a Pokemon has been correctly guessed, it must be included in all future guesses for those guesses to be considered legit. If any previously revealed team member is not in the current guess, the entire guess will be marked wrong.
5. You get five guesses max. If you don't guess all six members correctly within five guesses, I win.
6. Guesses must be properly formatted to be counted as a guess. See below.
How to guess
Put this anywhere in your post:
PMJ, we think this is your team:
Poke1
2
3
4
5
6
Make sure it's in bold or I won't accept it. Then I will reply with which Pokemon, if any, are part of the team, and relay how many guesses you have left.
Misc. tips
1. For the purposes of this game, a weakness is any type that does at least 150% damage or more. Conversely, a resistance is any type that does 50% damage or less. An immunity, obviously, is any type that does no damage.
2. This is a team game, and the teams are everyone vs. me. Work together. You can use any research you like in your search for answers.
3. If a Pokemon has a double weakness to a type, it will be listed only once.
- ex. A team of Butterfree, Ledian, Yanmega, Beautifly, Masquerain, and Ninjask would only show 6 Rock weaknesses, not 12
4. Each team member will have a specific ability, the same as if you were actually building this team. Keep that in mind when determining weaknesses and resistances. A Ninetales with Flash Fire is immune to Fire, but one with Drought is not.
5. Don't look at competitive viability when figuring out team members. If you figure out Drought Ninetales is on the team, don't start looking for Chlorophyll sweepers and sun abusers because chances are you won't find them. Team members are pretty much chosen arbitrarily.
6. Post freely. The point is to work together, so you can post whatever you want. Not every post has to be a guess.
And that's pretty much it. Once the round ends, I post new team specs and the game begins anew.
Can you Name That Team?
Here are the specs for round 1:
Tiers
1 Uber
2 OU
3 RU
Weaknesses
1 Fire
1 Grass
1 Electric
1 Poison
1 Rock
1 Ground
1 Ghost
1 Flying
1 Psychic
1 Dragon
1 Dark
2 Fighting
2 Bug
2 Ice
Resistances
1 Electric
1 Ice

1 Bug
1 Psychic
1 Dark
1 Steel
2 Fire
2 Water
3 Grass
3 Fighting
Immunities
1 Ground
1 Ghost
1 Psychic

No extra clues for this round. I need to make this game hard enough to be enjoyable but not so hard no one can win. If it proves too hard I will add clues in future rounds.
