Welcome to the Halloween Pokémon Tournament!
This tournament will consist of Pokémon that is either deemed scary, creepy, Halloween appropriate surrounding popular scary fanfiction, visually, and cannon information. Also it's the perfect time to use dirty tricks against your opponents!
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 already! The winner is Joku760! Congratulations to Joku760 and thank you for participating and/or spectating the tournament! Hope to see you next month.

~Rule and Restrictions~
- MUST be a Pokémon surrounding the list of Pokémon given below. You can suggest a Pokémon and I will determine if I shall allow it. Giving a reason would give me a reason to put the Pokémon.
- 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 its type. For example, if your Arceus is a Water type, 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.
- If you are in the final round and you cannot battle with your opponent, you can hire a proxy to battle for you. This goes for the opponent as well, as both of you should have a substitute for both of you. For example, imagine Person A can't battle Person B due to work/time zones/etc., he/she AND his/her opponent must choose someone else to battle for them.
- You must fill out the sign out sheet if you are new.

Brackets:
This will be updated once we have a full set of participants and a few days before the tournament starts. Once it does, please talk to your opponent about when to battle. If you don't battle for the a lot of days and the round's due date is coming, I have to intervene.

XY Break: October 12th - October 19th. **
Semifinals: October 20th - October 22th
Finals: October 23th - October 24th.***
* = This round will overlap with the XY break. Same goes for any round at all, you can battle during the XY break.
** = XY break is for those who want to spend a week just to play Pokémon X and Y when it is released. I understand this your hype, so have fun!
*** = This battle can be on October 31st if you want it to be more suitable since it's Halloween.
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.

NOTE: These Pokémon have a lot of information missing such as moves and they are pretty buggy in battle. So I advise you not use them, but if you want to use it since they have enough information to be able to put up some kind of a fight then you can use them.

NOTE: Due to XY being released this month, if Pokémon Showdown updates with the new Pokémon you can be able to use them. The Tournament, due to XY release date, will go into the first week of November unless we finish earlier. There will be a one week break after XY so we all can enjoy it but you can always battle during that week if you want to.
NOTE 2: You can suggest Pokémon but that doesn't mean they can just enter. Give me a reason why it should enter and I'll think about it. Also if you have a question why a certain Pokémon is there then ask me.

~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.
- 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.
- Unlike last tournament, you have a wider choice of types to use. But it's still not that spread out, a lot of the Pokémon are Poison, Dark or Ghost types. Only a few others are other types. So be wary of easy threats like Sucker Punch, Mach Punch and more.
Hope you enjoy the tournament! Any questions and tips and I will happily help you through this thread OR PM! And Happy Halloween!
