Have you ever tried to build around a certain Pokemon but found that it left too many holes in your team for standard sets to cover? Have you ever found yourself looking for a sixth Pokemon to add to a team, knowing exactly what you have left to cover, but just couldn't find a Pokemon that fit? These teambuilding traumas trouble me every time I try to build a team, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Welcome to Know Your Niche: the project in which we sleuth out all those niches you never knew you'd need! Every week, there will be a new niche on the slate; it could be anything from "submit your best partner for Pokemon x" to "submit a Stealth Rock user that can hold its own against Pokemon y". You'll have some time to submit sets you've found that fulfill the given niche, along with an exploration of exactly how and how well your set fills said niche. Submissions will close and 1-2 winners will be chosen by me and TP to be featured in the archive!
Rules:

Rules:
- Follow the rules of the OU forum and the global rules at all times.
- One submission per person per week.
- Reservations must be completed within 24 hours of being placed or the reservation will be dropped.
- Three or more lines of description per submission.
- DO NOT THEORYMON. It is blatantly obvious when people do this and its just a pain in the arse.
- Explain how and why it works for the theme. There are lots of buzzwords you can use that work well but I'm too lazy to list them.
- Pokemon do not need to be on the viability ranking list, but unranked/low ranking Pokemon must be paired with very good justification or else they will meet Team Pokepals' wrath.
- Be considerate of others when posting, and only post when necessary; try not to post one-liners, and no flaming etc. That said, offering advice is fully encouraged.
