What is the Next Best Thing?
The next best thing is a project where users search through the listed Pokemon's movepool and post about it. In your post, explain what is does and why it should be used over a standard set.
Just be weary that the sets posted may not be standard, but have the potential to become standard sets in the future. However, it is not guaranteed that ever set will see this success.
How does it work? Every week a new Pokemon will be chosen for participants to create a new creative yet effective set, this set may not be in progress of being written or already uploaded on the smogon pokédex. The participants will get 5 days to make their set and create their post. People may discuss the set posted during 5 days, the following two days there will be a vote to represent the most creative yet effective set. After the voting and the winner has been announced their post will be archived.
Rules
Feel free to be as creative as possible, but you must be able to showcase the viability of your set. Replays are a good asset to demonstrate your arguments - especially for newer players - but are not compulsory.
Your set may not be changed after the voting phase as begun, but may be changed prior to the voting stage.
You may only submit one set per week, unless given permission my myself.
You cannot vote for your own set.
Do not post sets that have either been reserved or have been posted. You may take or reserve a set of a post if the reservation has not been altered for over 24 hours.
Please do not reserve a set that currently has an analysis or is in the process of being created.
Finally, please do not post one-liners, unless voting. Try to avoid double-posting if possible.

The first mon we will be looking at is Landorus-Therian! With its great ability, Intimidate, and its great stats overall, makes this mon great in general.
You will have until May 1st to post a set and describe what it does! Good Luck all!
Most common sets not allowed: Rock tomb + groundium Rock tomb + flyium Bulldoze + Rockium

BEAUTIFUL (Landorus-Therian) (M) @ Choice Specs Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Earth Power - Grass Knot - Sludge Wave - Hidden Power [Rock] / Hidden Power [Electric] / Focus Blast I love this set, lures in Gyarados-Mega, Swampert-Mega, and other Waters you might see. Earth Power is the main stab for Electric types like Tapu Koko, Sludge Wave is for Fairies like Lele and Bulu. Focus Blast can be used for Normal types like Lopunny-Mega, I might have missed out on a couple moves so just tell me if I did. Landorus-T can also run Scarf but i'm not allowed to post 2 sets.

~ LANDORUS DASH THERIAN SCARF EDITION ~ THE set: Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf Ability:Intimidate EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe Adamant/Jolly Nature this is kind of a trade off but i found adamant to overall be better - Earthquake - Stone Edge / "how unlucky u are" choice of a rock move - Superpower - Fly/hp ice/u-turn/iron tail/ --- (extremely specific) sludge wave/knock off/outrage/grass knot/fling
what it can beat that the standards cant (from VRs) : Charizard y, specs Tapu Koko, scarf Pz and other fast Pz sets that dont have a lot of bulk, Gardevoir,non scarf Greninja, other Lando-ts, Naganadel, Diancie, Zygarde (i just heard hp ice beats it i didnt actually check), Hoopa-u, Togekiss, specs Latios, special Lucario, Pheromosa, 2 z VIctinis, Volcarona, non scarf Blacephalon, specs Deo-s, waterium Haxorus (lol didnt know this was a thing), lo Infernape, non bulky Keldeo, Nihilego, A Ninetails, Pidgeot, Thundurus-t, Manectric, Salazzle, offensive Alakazam, Vivillon + Things that can be beaten by flinging scarf. If u hate these colors i know i do: Charizard y,specs Tapu Koko,scarf Pz and other fast Pz sets that dont have a lot of bulk,Gardevoir,non scarf Greninja,other Lando-ts,Naganadel,Diancie,Hoopa-u,Togekiss,specs Latios,special Lucario,Pheromosa,2 z VIctinis,Volcarona,non scarf,Blacephalon,specs Deo-s,waterium Haxorus(lol didnt know this was a thing),lo Infernape,non bulky keldeo,Nihilego, A Ninetails,Pidgeot,Thundurus-t,Manectric,Salazzle,offensive Alkazam,Vivillon +Things that can be beaten by flinging scarf to stall mons i can add 4th move coverage and calcs for every move but i dont see a point in that
