Welcome to the Autumn Pokémon Seasonal Tournament! 

This tournament will consist of Pokémon that is either 6 types listed below. Note these types are basically my interpretation of how Fall should be described. If you have any questions regarding the types or anything at all, just ask me on this thread. 

 

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

~Rule and Restrictions~ 

- MUST be a Pokémon surrounding the type below. Dual types are allowed.

- 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.

~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. 

 

- This time around there is another seasonal tournament. If you want to know how well the other seasonal tournament went you can check it out in this link (http://kh13.com/forum/topic/60686-kh13-august-summer-seasonal-pok%C3%A9mon-tournament/). As you can see it was surrounding certain types as well, so you should pick up some strategies from this tournament if you want. It will help make it more easier to deal with when you have a certain amount of types. But unlike the previous tournament, this tournament is filled with Pokémon types that are not wildly used like the Fire or Water Type. 

 

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

Did you purposly make your team based off of each generation?

 

Gen 1 - Gengar

Gen 2 - Scizor

Gen 3 - Groudon

Gen 4 - Garchomp

Gen 5 - Volcarona

Gen 6 - Yveltal

 

Congrats though!

You'll be fighting Natronspore the next round. 

Didn't think anyone would even notice that I made my team of all generations, nicely noticed, Shana.

Oh wow. Our battle was amazing. He KOed most of my team with Gengar, but Gliscor and Volcarona pulled through. gg, joku!

I'm sad I wont get to see it. ;;

So who exactly one? You or Joku? 

I did, just barely. It hinged on one attack from Outrage, and my Volcarona survived with 3% health left. It's too bad the replays aren't working.

GG, NatronSpore. If I had used my mega-garchomp right away rather than trying to beat your gliscor with yveltal, I could've won, but I made that mistake there Good luck for the rest of the tournament!

I made the mistake of switching in my Gliscor against your Gengar. It was very close.

Second Round has started people! Get to battling!

But we already did. . .

It appears I can only battle him on the weekend because he loggs in around 10 my time and I'm in class then.

But we already did. . .

 

Sorry fixed it. I'll post it once the 2nd round is over. 

Here's my battle against Blake,I barely won this one

damn that was close!

Good game to both of you, it was a fun battle. 

One thing I want you to prevent Shana next time.

 

All Mega evolutions should be done during the match instead of using an already Mega evolved one.

 

Using a Mega evo without his stone would kill the chances of you tricking your opponent into guessing which Mega evo you'll use and which one you won't

 

Besides,please please don't Tell me that choosing the Mega evo without it;'s stone means he can hold an item(A.k.a Mega Gengar with focus sash)

I approve. I used megastone with my garchomp and I thought that it would be pretty obvious that people have to do that. Mega evolutions have that "illegal" mark on them when you choose them on showdown, shouldn't that give a little hint?

I thought I made it clear it had to hold a stone. This is common knowledge. 

Did anyone do it in this tournament?

Not really, I shouldn't have made so many bonehead mistakes with forgetting my typing. I liked the way Shana made one of her teams, and so I wanted to try an emulate it but morph it to my own style but PS didn't save my team for some reason...

You should never ever go by someone elses team. The minute I saw you do so the minute I saw how you lost. You should always do it your own way.

 

Also the real reason I beat you with my team is because of my status afflictions: 

 

Burn - Hurts you overtime. Halves Attack Stat. Ruined any of your physical attackers.

Paralysis - Has a chance to paralyze you. Halves Speed Stat. Ruins every Pokémon, especially those that rely on speed.

Toxic - Hurts you overtime, gets worse overtime. Literally hurts any Pokémon that is a big wall. 

 

Imo you were better with your old team.
