So guys, first and foremost I like to say ty guys for accepting me into the guild.

Now I would like to talk about the new format recently released on pokemon showdown called "Gods and Followers"

This format adds an interesting to twist to the game. You build a team based around a "God" pokemon. Your god pokemon must be from the current uber listing. then the next 2-6 slots are filled using pokemon from the OU listing. Here is the 2 catches though. The other 5 pokemon you choose after your god pokemon must have at least 1 same typing as your god pokemon.

"Ex. If Dialga is my god then I can only have pokemon that have dragon or steel typing on my team"

Catch #2 is if your god pokemon is killed your team will become cursed and will start to lose hp gradually as turns go.

I have only tried it once and its quite fun.

I want to know what you guys think about this and what team ideas do you have?
