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".

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.

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.

 

 

- 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 Pokémon 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. 

 

- 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!

I'm surprised Cradily didn't make it to the list despite being one of the creepiest plants you can ever see in the wild

Is it just me, or... I don't see Joku760 in the competitors list/ brackets even though he signed up? 

Edited October 3, 201312 yr by Newa

You're in and you stay in. Practice with your team.

Brackets:

 

But but but... me? As Newa already said too, I think I'm missing from that bracket. Well, as it seems to be full, I can sit out this tournament. No need to pull anyone from the tournament (if you even had done that for me). Accidents happen so I can be the audience for this tournament

 

Username (Your account on Pokémon Showdown):Jude-kun

Time Zone: CST

Days Available in October (The date when to start and end the tournament is undecided until we get enough people for the tournament):Any day.

 

I have nothing to do so I guess I'll give this a shot.

 

Ready to battle buddy ^_^

May I sugest Garchomp? I'm certain that Gen 4 Champ Cynthia would agree, and I'm certain for most more causal fans like myself we still have the nightmares about this. Anyway, keep a slot open for me. I'll likely get KO'd in the first round, but still. I'll sign up later.

It doesn't work that way. Then we'd have the infamous Milktank.

A.K.A Whitney's Miltank

I PMed Kihara hours ago but he didn't respond

 

Can you see if he can battle today Shana??

It doesn't work that way. Then we'd have the infamous Milktank.

But... Miltank really is scary. That thing's a demon cow. D:

I thought I double checked the people who joined and I still haven't seen you. I'm really sorry! If someone drops out or is being excessively absent during the tournament, I'll put you in. Be sure to have a team ready just incase! Again, I apologize.

Yeah it doesn't work that way at all. These are scary Pokémon not OP Pokémon.

Hey Shana I contacted Xylek for a battle but he surrendered straight away, so what happens now?

What do you mean? 

What do you mean? 

I mean I contacted Xylek and asked him if he was free to battle and he sent me back this:

What was he too scared to be beaten or something?

Besides, if this is lazy bum is not joking then I'll add Joku760 as a replacement since he signed up and I didn't notice. The next person to fall out will be replaced with Vexoria.

You can't tell me that if you saw a Garchomp IRl you wouldn't freak out/scream.

 Anyway, since you need no more, I guess I'll be a reserve if anyone else leaves.

Username (Your account on Pokémon Showdown):StarBurst

Time Zone: Pacific(West siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide)

Days Available in October (The date when to start and end the tournament is undecided until we get enough people for the tournament): Pretty much any time after about 2:45 PM to 9:30 PM my time, unless my match is on the weekends, which most of the time I'm free all day for.

Your favourite Scary Pokémon! (Optional): Eeeeeh... Um... None, really.

Questions (Optional): What is this for, anyway?

 

1) If you mean the tournament, I made it for fun. It's been going on since May. Every month there was a tournament. In May there was a KH13 League tournament, in June there was a Baby Tournament, in July there was a MAFSUST (or something like that) Tournament, in August there was a Summer Seasonal Tournament and in September there was a Mono Type tournament. Halloween Tournament for October, Fall Seasonal Tournament for November and KH13 League Tournament. In fact I always thought of having a "Champion", "Elite 4", "Gym Leaders" of KH13 but I think it might have been a bit difficult, a bit cliche and also someone took the idea but I don't think it was ever brought to life. I might do it someday, I'm good at making big stuff like this. It'll be determined by the tournaments especially. 

 

2) If you mean sign up sheet, there are countless of reasons (Explained by each step of the Sign up Sheet)...

 

A) Username is needed so your opponent can know what your username is to find you and battle you.

B) Time Zone is needed sometimes when it comes to planning who fights who in the First Round. It didn't determine who battle who in the Mono Type Tournament and this tournament though.

C) Also helps determine who battles who. Also so we all know why you are gone during those days. But it wasn't used for planning opponents in this nor the last tournament either. But still we need to know why you aren't able to respond nor battle.

D) Well It is optional after all.

E) Optional too.
