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!

Oh good! I fixed the brackets then. Good game.

 

 

 

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. 

Well, we did one match previously, but then he busted an auto-mega'd Aerodactyl and we had to restart, which allowed me to remake the team that wasn't saved. I didn't even notice I was using the wrong deck when I challenged him the first time, and he destroyed me with the set I used against you, I think i KO'd one of his and he KO'd all but one of mine when he busted out the Mega Aerodatyle.

Okay we had our pointless rematch. I'm not saying who won, let it be a surprise :^)

It was a good match, but still rather go with the first one. Naziana09

Good game! See now you get to stay in the tournament too )))))

 

I rather go with this.

And I prefer Staliana 

So, what exactly happened to the tournament? There has been a total silence.

So, what exactly happened to the tournament? There has been a total silence.

 

NatronSpore won due to immense chain of disqualification. I would do another tournament but both October's and November's tournaments weren't a success. Also we are already half way through the month so there is no point.

I am more than happy to pass the baton to another person who would like to make tournaments, I might make one next month (or next year) about a general KH13 tournament and not the Winter Seasonal tournament, but that isn't a 100% garauntee. Like I said, if anyone wants to make a tournament then do so. 

I won? Well, that's stupid. I never even got a chance to battle Blake.

As said before, either people think I'm never available, no one gave a shit about the tourney, and/or busy schedules, so why should I wait starring at KH13 for hours waiting for an opponent when I could be doing something else on the internet, let alone other important things. Actually, I think I did do this 1-2 times while breeding in XY, yet no PMs the whole day. Yes, I go back and forth on the site from time to time to see if I get any PMs, but I hardly get them. I think I got more from Shana than anyone else lmao.

 

I hope future tournaments are a go now that XY hype has settled down and when the holidays are over. Also I suck at organizing any type of things on forums, hell I have a past of unsuccessful stuff, from clubs to tournaments. (I think the only thing I ever succeed in was having a successful trading thread)

 

Also anyone is welcomed to battle me for fun. Even better when Pokebank is out, for wi-fi battles instead.
