 While doing the ‘lightyear’ long anti-meta writeup, I came across an idea that I found highly potent and simultaneously a Pokemon that I really liked, Hariyama.

But do not fret as this isn’t going to be a thought vomit type of post, I will (try my best to) share with you a list of contenders I think might genuinely find a place on a team that gets a respectable finish in big tournaments. The viability of the ideas tapers down as we move to the bottom tiers of my list because sometimes you really have to get desperate to give a Pokemon a chance. This li...
