Welcome to the Mono Type Pokémon Tournament! 

This tournament will consist of Pokémon surrounds a certain type that I will randomly give to you through a certain method which will be explained later on! 

 

You will be using this site to create your team, and battle other competitors in this tournament in "Custom Match".

 

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/

 

The tournament has ended on September 27th, 2013 and the winner is OthersiderME! We had proxies (which are substitutes) for the finalists (both Teppo223 and OthersiderME) since they were not able to battle. These proxies were Shana09 who substituted for OthersiderME and Newa who substituted for Teppo223! Thank you all for joining and watching! Hope to see you in the Halloween October Tournament next month! 

 

Hint to the next tournament: Visuals. 

 

~Rule and Restrictions~ 

- MUST be a Pokémon surrounding the types you were given. It can be a dual type as well, like Bisharp who is a Dark/Steel type if you have a Dark or Steel type theme.

- If the opponent doesn't show up and doesn't battle till a certain Round deadline, then you will be promoted to the next round.

- You can use only 2 legendaries per team. If you pick Arceus, you have to have the plate that represents your type theme. For example, if your type theme is Water, then your Arceus better be holding a Splash Plate. Trust me, I know if your Arceus isn't having its respective plate.

- We will use "Custom Match" when we battle in the tournament due to the restrictions in "OU", but you can use "OU" or "Ubers" to practice against other strangers on the site.

- Be sure to tell me whether you can't battle ASAP and don't wait it out till the very end to tell me, if you do we then have to disqualify you and promote your opponent. If you are able to battle a bit after the deadline, and depending on how the tournament is going, then I will allow you to still battle.

- You must fill out the sign out sheet.

NOTE: If you finish your First Round match and your next opponent who you are going to battle in the Second Round has too and the deadline hasn't passed, you can battle him/her early on. This applies to ALL rounds, so if you finish early you can battle early. There are going to be due dates, you can start whenever you want.

 

 

Pokémon Type Method:

 

1) I go to Www.random.org

 

2) Generate a number between 1 - 17 (1 = Bug, 2 = Dark, 3 = Dragon, 4 = Electric, 5 = Fighting, 6 = Fire, 7 = Flying, 8 = Ghost, 9 = Grass, 10 = Ground, 11 = Ice, 12 = Normal, 13 = Poison, 14 = Psychic, 15 = Rock, 16 = Steel and 17 = Water.)

 

3) Whatever number comes up, that is your type! I will do this, not you. Trust me I wont cheat, the more harder to deal with the type is the better. Each type got their flaws and strengths anyways, so don't pout!

 

 

Pokémon Types Taken:

 

I will cross these out for whoever takes them

 

1 = Bug ISaix

2 = Dark OmegaForte

3 = Dragon (Ajexmi)

4 = Electric (teppo223)

5 = Fighting (Amelia Pond)

6 = Fire OthersiderME

7 = Flying (dimensionslayer)

8 = Ghost (teh lazy prince Xylek)

9 = Grass (joku760)

10 = Ground (Keyblade Knight)

11 = Ice

12 = Normal (DragonMaster)

13 = Poison (Newa)

14 = Psychic  (Vexoria)

15 = Rock (Megaman X)

16 = Steel (Metal Snake)

17 = Water (Weedanort)

 

 

~Personal Tips~

 

- Stuck on the fact that your team might be good or downright terrible? You can go down two routes! Ask a friend who is participating in the tournament or someone you know who is good at Pokémon and battle him under "Custom Match"! You should battle different teams rather than just the same one to conclude whether your team is good or not. The other route is to challenge strangers, but this could not work at all since there might be a time where OU/Ubers/etc. might not allow your Pokémon team to battle because one Pokémon has an ability unreleased or is not allowed in that tier. You do NOT have to change your Pokémon, you can just follow Route A, but just know that you could probably give your team away to your possible future opponent. Also if your team beats a good amount of opponents with different teams but lose to some others, its up to you to decide whether the team needs some tweaking or not. Remember, not every team is perfect, there are going to be walls so have some Pokémon that can take down those walls while the other Pokémon use whatever strategy you are using.

 

 

- Strategy has a good chance at winning. Sometimes it can even triumph over people who just put a team together for no reason. But also know that your Pokémon must be qualified for the types listed above and make sure they are strong and resilient. Strategy can come from parahaxers (Toxic/Paralysis/Flinching/Etc.), walls (People who can take many hits), Speedy Sweepers (People who are born to kill). Even Pokémon with Item-Ability combos (Toxic Orb + Poison Heal = Large amount of healing per turn), Move-Ability combos (Fire Punch + Iron Fist = Boosted Fire Punch), or even Surroundings-Ability combos (Rain + Swift Swim = Doubled Speed).

 

- If you want to go for boosting your stats but your Pokémon can't take any hits, apply Focus Sash with it. Focus Sash, if your Pokémon has full health, makes the opponents attack make your health go to 1 instead of 0. Imagine you use Shell Smash and then the opponent attacks and makes your health go to 1. You will get so much Speed, Attack, and Special Attack from that move than you'll be to sweep and attack every Pokémon. But it is all up to you! 

 

- Type disadvantage and advantage is very useful, it will work. 

 

- PRACTICE! It works like a charm! Sometimes you can get ahead with luck, but practice has a more of a chance of actually letting you win! I didn't get much practice last tournament due to some difficulties but I can assure you it will work. Sometimes luck has its ways, but if you want to win rather than getting past the first round, then practice.

 

- You can have up to 4 teams, due to we have 4 rounds. First Round, Second Round, Semifinals and Finals. 

- Switch out and make smart predictions!

 

- Don't get angry that you lose, sure you can be like "Dammit I lost" but don't take it personal and ruin it for everyone else. You can joke around, but if you are serious about it then you can't join future tournaments. 

 

- Due to you being restricted onto one type, you have to make the most of your versatility  If you are a Steel type trainer, then you gotta do something against those pesky Ground, Fire and Fighting types. Either moves, abilities, or to neutralize (or immune) yourself from the attacks. 

 

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

Sweet, the dragons are mine! legendaries are fine to use right?

 

2 is the most you can have, and there cannot be repetitions of legendaries.

For example, you can't have two Kyurems.

Everything surprisingly works perfectly on my Wii U internet browser. Unfortunately, I'll have to make my team every time I want to get on the site, even if I back it up as text. I'll just make it the days I have my matches, as tedious as that is...

Although my speciality is Dark, I'm really feeling the winds of fortune this month

Despite Dragons being strong they have a lot of similarities in terms of weaknesses and there are very little Dragon types to begin with. I wouldn't say you would be able to win, but if you get the first hits you should be good to go.

There are really good Bug Type Pokémon, I can list a bunch but PM if you really want to know.

Kay, so, I'm actually moving this weekend(Not telling where, of course <_<), and my internet is gonna be disconnected from Friday through Monday. So, whatever happens, if the tournament starts, give me some time or whatever with the time restraints.

Alright no problem! 

 

If you can, can you battle DragonMaster before the weekend? That way I wont have to extend the schedule and it might be more convenient.

Guess we won't be having our battle this weekend then (if it starts by this weekend, anyway). All right, thanks for letting me (well all of us) know. More time for practice then. Good luck with the move.

I honestly think before the weekend sounds good.

Oh, sure. Sorry, I just assumed that you wanted to wait until later, and I wrote that post before Shana edited. When do you want to do so?

Well, tomorrow should be good. If not, then the day after is when I get the internet taken away. Ah well. If it comes to that, then we'll just do it this Tuesday!

I should be good tomorrow, unless I get swamped with homework. Even then, I'll probably still be able to get on around this time. So if its alright with Shana, lets plan on battling tomorrow.

Righto! Tomorrow at...uh...well, I have no idea when I'll be available. If I'm on when you're on, Dragon, then I'll contact you. If not, and I have to help my family pack, then we can just wait until Tuesday. Either way, we still battle!

So,I'll be fighting Ghost Types huh,Good that I still have time to adjust my team for that.
