NOTE: The tournament is now over! The winner is indeed Shana09 (me), the runner up was Megaman X and the ones who got into the semifinals was OthersiderME and Metal Snake! Good job to these participants and good job to you all! Hope to see you all the next month and have fun battling!

Welcome to the Little Cup Tourney!

This tournament will consist of the first stage Pokémon, otherwise known as Baby Pokémon!

We will use this site as a way to battle each other by creating our own teams, you don't even have to have the game!

~Rules and Restrictions~

~ MUST be a Pokémon that is the basic evolution and NOT a Second or Final stage evolution. Meaning you can pick Pokémon like Dratini, but not Dragonair nor Dragonite.

~ Phione isn't allowed since it doesn't evolve into Manaphy, even if Manaphy breeds with a Ditto to create Phione.

~ Pokémon who don't evolve or doesn't evolve from another Pokémon can't be used. For example, Druddigon cannot be used.

~ If there is a Pokémon with LOW stats (like Ditto) it may be used. Consult me about this. 

~ Starters are allowed.

~ We will use "Custom Matches" when we battle and not "LC" (Little Cup) so we have a bit more freedom.

~ If you do not show up twice in a row, your opponent will be promoted to the next round and you will be disqualified.

~Personal tips~

 

~ If you want to train, you can go down two routes. LC, aka Little Cup, is where you will battle with strangers on the site. It will help to let you know what you need to improve on and what is working well. Another match type, which we are going to use in this tournament and future tournaments, is "Custom Match" which will only be allowed when you battle with other users directly. Like if you go down to the list of members and challenge them, it will appear as an option. Use that match on other competitors in this Tournament.

~ Strategy. OU Pokémon strategies and LC Pokémon strategies are very different, since you aren't that strong and tough. So you will have to experiment on your teams against other LC players and competitors in order to get the gist of it. You need defensive Pokémon with Eviolite, I'm going to let you know that.

~ Fast attackers are very welcomed, theres a ton of them.

~ Stat boosts and Baton passing works very well with Focus sash.

~ Type advantage and disadvantage is very important.

~ I recommend practicing a lot, even I have trouble at times.

~ You can use up to 4 different teams. Due to it have a First Round, Second Round, Semifinals and then Finals, I think 4 different teams should suffice.

~ Switch very fast and make a lot of predictions, trust me it helps.

~ Don't get frustrated at all if you lose, sure you can be like "Damnnn" but don't go on and hate the other opponent and bash everyone else. If you do you're not going to participate anymore. 

~ Being a wall wont help always, since like I said before, LC is not OU.

 

Hope you enjoy the tournament! Any questions and tips and I will happily help you through this thread OR PM!

Ah. So a specific regional baby Pokémon tournament? Not sure how that'll work out, I think general is way better. 

We have Regional tournaments though, but baby regional tournaments is kind of iffy. We'll try next year (June 2014). Thanks for the suggestion though.

I meant like Regional Type Tournaments (Regional pokemon with a specific type) or a general Type Tournament. (Certain pokemon with certain types)

We already have those suggestions in the "Future Pokémon Tournament Suggestions". It's called Regional Tournament (Tournament for each region), Mono Type Tournament (Choose 4 types and go with it) and Singular Type Tournament (There is one type that EVERYONE uses).
