Hello, my name is faded love, faded for short. This is my first RMT. I am normally known as an extremely mediocre UU player with a tendency for shit talk perhaps a little larger than it should be, but since SS UU quickly devolved into a nigh unplayable mishmash of clicker offense and passive balance, I decided to try my hand at National Dex. As someone who loves to build teams that are outside the box, National Dex having as many options as it did was something that was very intriguing. After messing around for a couple weeks on ladder with a horrendous Zard X team, I decided to get down to business and build with a mon that summed up what in my mind that oozed the quintessential idea of National Dex, Gen 7 with Gen 8 addition:

Do you remember when Mega Slowbro had a viability ranking of A- in National Dex? Seems hard to believe that this mon is now completely unranked in the tier. Obviously a lot of this has to do with metagame shifts and Dracovish being banned, but Mega Slowbro is such a unique pick for fat teams that I really wanted to do something with. It's pretty niche unlike its non-evolved form but definitely has its uses. I've been able to adapt an old team from SM OU into the NatDex format and make use of Mega Slowbro without feeling like I'm sacrificing viability by not using a more standard fat pick for my mega slot. I think this is maybe the best team I've built in NatDex and certainly the most consistent when played correctly.
