Ooka and Penguinpal6's Tournament Thread

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

This tournament is going to be a double battle tournament, with the owners of the tournament me and penguinpal6.

This will be an orginized tournament and may lead to us using the top 11 people in a pokemon league.

That is if they want to.

I also haven't discussed the league part with penguinpal yet so that part is undecided.

This tournament will be set up here and fought on a different website. On the day of the tournament I will put the link in my signature and you just click on it and you will be at the right place.

We don't exactly know when the tournament will be so don't ask until we are ready.

This is what the sign-up form for the tournament will be:

Name:

Friend Code:

ps. you have to have six to be able to compete

Here is the setup for the battles:

If members of the same team end up fighting it's fine because we might end up not haveing the right matchups anyways, like someone from team aqua wins on one side and someone from team aquaa wins on the other side. I think we aren't going to be able to avoid having teams fight themselves every once in a while.

I will be updating this post later with some things so keep watch.

Sweet. Though, you shouldn't post the pokemon you are using, it just makes it more exciting.

This tournament is first come first serve, and we will determine the date as soon as all 32 spots are filled.

Mark us down as 1 and 2, lol.

Well let me be first to join.

10 Pokemon (will choose six out of the 10 for every new battle) and if you don't have ten then just post the six you have: It would better not to right?

I'll join. put me in at number 17.

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

I don't mean to be rude but I kinda did make the sign'up sheet for a reason.

i dont really care what spot im in

and i agree why should we post our teams?

Lastly: WHY are Shaymin, Celebi, and Jirachi BANNED? they are not uber. neither is Manaphy.

 

[Azonic]

OK do I have to do a demo?

Name: Mike

FC: 1547 2413 7124

OK, I think we shouldn't post pokemon to make it more exciting(and fair).

Prize 2

BTW this is really me.

And oh, Banned Items, almost forgot

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

Okay, you officially do not have to post your team. It now has two different teams though, team magma and team aqua.

 

[Azonic]

If you are number 17(:)) and below, you are Team Aqua.

All hax. :( hax makes me sad.

GO TEAM AQUA.

Oh yea, each team will battle another team member from their own team.

Number 1 battles with number 16, 2 with 15, and so on. The two survivors from each team will claim one prize, or face eachother for one.

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

I am not battling you first, I wanted to see if we could battle through each side and win. How about number 1 battles number 32 and number 2 battles number 31 and so forth and so on.

 

[Sr E]

So since I'm number 18, I'd be paired with number 31 for the whole tournament, right.

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

You aren't actually paired with them, that means you will fight them first, for example since you are 18, you will be fighting number 15

 

[Hinamori_Momo]

you guys haven't answered my question. Why are Manaphy, Shaymin, Jirachi, and Celebi BANNED when they aren't ubers and you ALLOW non-uber legends?

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

Manaphy because of tail glow, jirachi because of calm mind and sweepage, and celebi because of calm mind, leech seed, recover, baton passing. And I just think they are too hard to take down.

 

[Hinamori_Momo]

Uber:
Mewtwo
Mew
Wobbuffet
Lugia
Ho-Oh
Latias
Latios
Kyogre
Groudon
Rayquaza
Deoxys (all forms)
Dialga
Palkia
Giratina
Manaphy
Darkrai
Arceus

THESE Pokemon are the ones that need to be banned.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jirachi: same exact weaknesses and strengths as a Metagross which is used in most battles.
Celebi: 7 weaknesses man. that's not normal.

and BOTH are weaker than Pokemon like Salamence.

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

Well then why do you want them so bad if you think they suck, I stand by my decision of none of the legends on the list.

 

[Hinamori_Momo]

There is one thing i can agree on: Manaphy is an uber in some cases.

Manaphy is considered uber for a few reasons, Focus sash+ rain+ rest= one hell of a hard time killing it. Manaphy is THE best watertype(next to kyogre) in the game due to its ability of hydration(loses status effects in rain. 100 base stats all around means it will be able to take alot of hits in general. AND with the use of rest in rail manaphy just wont die no matter what you do to it. Tailglow is a really MINOR reason for why it is uber. It contributes yes as it was stated in smogon. Though manaphy's movepool is rather limited, It can sweep any team regardless of what is on it when it is properly set up. I dont agree that manaphy is uber personally BUT i do understand where people are coming from.

ALso, Because of manaphy's stats manaphy can also SET UP on its opponent rather easiely USING tailglow or something else such as substitute THEN tail glow(ive used this strat before find out it was uber) This quote is from mekkah over at smogon regarding manaphy and i think it says it best

On a related note, how the hell is switching in Tyranitar/Hippowdon/LOLABOMASNOW on Manaphy a good idea for countering it? Again, you just negate Rain Dance but you forget that it can also hurt a lot of crap with nearly 500 Special Attack and Tail Glow. Not to mention Manaphy doesn't even need Rain Dance itself - put it on Bronzong, put it on Kingdra, put it on whatever with a Wet Rock. Switch to Manaphy, 6 turns of free Full Restores left while Manaphy has only spent a moveslot on Rest. Add in Surf, Tail Glow, Ice Beam/HP Electric/Energy Ball and you are going to be in a world of pain.

Manaphy manages to threaten everything except Calm Mind/Electric move Blissey, Ludicolo and perhaps very maybe Lanturn with a great amount of 6-7 moves or so. Some Pokemon are thought dangerous because they have a big movepool and the stats to use them, and the only thing that can stop them is predicting the right set. Imagine your horror when Manaphy's core set steps over everything standard except one Pokemon, and that one Pokemon has to carry specific moves...

Just from this quote alone, Tail glow isnt the only thing that makes manaphy uber. its a combination of things.... Its stats,typing, and everything else MAKES it uber. Not simply tailglow. Im sure if manaphy's stats werent the same as mew/jirachi/celebi then it wouldnt be an uber. It would be OU

What i'm trying to say is that we should be able to use at least Celebi, Jirachi, and Japanese Shaymin.

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

And what I'm saying is no, don't you understand that. :D

 

[Hinamori_Momo]

apparently no i don't understand.

 

[Akuchiki Byakuya]

And fyi, I didn't make the rules, Mike did.
