THE TOURNAMENT IS OVER

 

Pokémon Showdown is a free website which allows you to create your own Pokémon with its own abilities, moves, shininess, EV, IV, etc. and battle other trainers!

It is meant for competitive training and It'd be wonderful if we can host a KH13 tournament for everyone to participate! For those who want to join please create an account here and create your team(s):

 

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/

 

 

 

PM me if you would like to join or type your request here! If you have any questions ask it here or PM as well.

The tournament will begin sometime next week (or this Sunday) depending on how many will participate.

 

WE HAVE ALL 16 PARTICIPANTS

THE TOURNAMENT WILL BE HELD STARTING FRIDAY TO THE END OF MONDAY, PLEASE DISCUSS WHAT TIME BOTH YOU AND YOUR OPPONENT SHOULD BATTLE. THE REASON WHY I CHOSE THIS FORMAT IS BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE COMPETITORS THAT ARE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

TIME ZONES PEOPLE.

 

TOURNAMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON MAY 24th, 2013 (EST) AND WILL END ON JUNE 2nd, 2013 TO AVOID TIME ZONE PROBLEMS

 

The Winner of the Tournament is...

 

OmegaForte!

~OU Rules~
 

 

 

 

• A player may not use any Moveset that is not obtainable by the Pokémon.
• Using both a Pokemon with Drizzle and a Pokemon with Swift Swim on the same team is banned.
• Only Pokemon that have been proven to have a released Dream World ability will be allowed to use that ability.
• Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
• Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
• Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. The items BrightPowder and Lax Incense are banned.
• OHKO Clause: Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KOing an opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.

 

 

 

 

~Personal Rules and Tips~

 

- Only one legendary is allowed, if you choose to add an legendary. You don't have to add one, but if you do just know it's just one legendary.

- Be sure to have a strategy, don't Earthquake through to win, this isn't RBY.

- Being annoying helps a lot, trust me.

- Don't overdo it though.

- Switch a lot, don't be afraid of switching.

- Make smart decisions, learn your Pokémon's abilities, strengths, weaknesses, etc.

- You are allowed to watch another teams match and comment.

- If you win I'll ask hatok or someone (or I personally) to create a badge for you. 

- Know your type advantages and disadvantages. 

- Experiment with your team before you go fight in the Tournament. By experimenting I mean doing OU battles with people you don't know. It's like testing the team and deciding if something needs fixing, it's perfect, or it's downright terrible. 

- I recommend playing sometimes for 3 days before the Tournament. 

- You're allowed for having multiple teams, the max teams you can use is 4 different ones. You don't have to, but if you want to go ahead.

- Don't get pissed and whine that you didn't win, just incase some of you do.

Sure; I'll sign up. I'm terrible at competitive battling, but whatever. I went ahead and made my username "Jilly Shears".One question, though: what tier would we use for teams?

Sounds awesome.

Okay great! 

 

OU

 

Ubers basically means legendaries 24/7, and the rest aren't as fun. OU has more strategy involved, and from what i've experienced, the most fun.

I was terrible too, just try to keep on battling till you get the hang of it. 2 - 3 days should work.

So you'll join?

What about stats? Do you have you use all of your stats/ and or can you? And yes, I'll join.

Alright make an account on that site and tell me your accounts name and I'll put it on the list.

You can apply EV's and Natures (as well as any Stat boosting items and moves).

 

Also you have to go by OU's rules. They will tell you if a Pokémon is ineligible of competing because of a certain ability/move they have or if they are banned.

Evasion moves are banned completely and Dream world abilities that are not released in the games (Like Serperior's Contrary Ability) are not allowed, unless they have been released (Espeon's Magic Bounce ability) 

 

ALSO

Tell me what your accounts name is, since I need to add it to the list.

Legendaries are allowed I believe, but try using less legendaries and other Pokémon. 1 is the minimum.

Okay...question, is Victini considered Ledgendary? I don't think so...Like a pseudo one, I believe.

I hope to be able to control who fights who, because him and you will probably go first 8D.

What are OU rules? o.O

Damn...I already have a legendary...I'll need to think if I'll have ONLY two Ledgendaries...

Do we have to have a legendary?

Do we have to have a legendary?

I honestly don't know why you wouldn't.

What are OU rules? o.O

 

 

• All BW OU matches must be played on Pokemon Online.
• A player may not use any Moveset that is not obtainable by the Pokémon.
• Using both a Pokemon with Drizzle and a Pokemon with Swift Swim on the same team is banned.
• Only Pokemon that have been proven to have a released Dream World ability will be allowed to use that ability.
• Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
• Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
• Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. The items BrightPowder and Lax Incense are banned.
• OHKO Clause: Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KOing an opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.

I think these will be good enough, I changed some of them since OU in this site allows them. Smogon on the other hand says no, so I have to change it.

But most of the rules are similar. Don't worry, there are a load of strategies in the site even with these rules. 

 

Do we have to have a legendary?

 

Yes you can but only one. You don't have to, but if you want to, just pick one.

Yes but you don't have to use them. There are plenty of other Pokémon you can use, as far as I've seen. Like Crobat and Gothitelle.

Also thanks for joining .

Yup, I wrote the rules, personal rules and tips in the first post. You can check it out if you want. 

Workin' on my team right now.

I think we should make a rule here against the use of more than one field damage move. People too often combo Toxic Spikes Spikes the one attack with stones on switch out move and sandstorm or hail and whirlwind, roar, dragon tail, ect.
