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! We actually started at June 19th and finished well before the actual deadline date, which was June 28th, and we finished at June 26th! 

 

 

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!

Sorry, but I have to forfeit my match.  Xaon wins by default.  I'll compete next month and hopefully have some good practice by then.

Sally I think people are scared of me or something. They always forfeit.

I was thinking that too

This is like the 3rd or 4th person to even forfeit when facing you.

You still did pretty good. You would have done better if you switched out more often.

I think anyone against Dave would've lost.

Gotta love that Paras though.

 

You were doing alright, just a few things you didn't do well in the whole match.

 

1) Switching out a lot. It helps for you to switch around like Dave, but don't just switch out just for the sake of switching out. Either pull out someone who is immune, has strong defense, or is resistant against the opponents moves. Of course this relies on prediction 80% of the time.

 

2) Bulbasaur could've saved your life with the sleeping inducing moves, but if you had switched to Horsea and ended Litwick, who is a Ghost/Fire type and resisted all your moves you had thrown at it.

 

3) Some of your Pokémon have Special Attack and Physical Attack moves mixed in their movepool, which doesn't help when it comes to implementing EV's. For example, if you have a Bulbasaur and you give it Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Synthesis, and Energy Ball, it will be easier to invest your EVs for SpA. If your Bulbasaur has Giga Drain, Leech Seed, Synthesis, and Power Whip, it would make your Pokémon significantly weaker if you invest your EVs in BOTH SpA and Atk, since having one offensive stat is better than having two. 

 

You did well though! Thanks for participating.
