PokeCommunity Stadium 2
Welcome to PokeCommunity Stadium 2, a PvE Pokemon autobattle event
How does this event work?
Selects a team of 6 rental Pokemon from Pokemon Stadium 2. Pits them against several trainers from Pokemon Stadium 2's Gym Leader Castle in Pokemon Showdown. Scores each match based on damage dealt and health remaining.
Comes with a twist: Cannot directly participate in the battle itself. Handles all the move selections for you. Chooses the moves semi-randomly. Applies to the enemy trainer as well. Amounts to being a step up from Metronome battles.
Do not worry about owning Pokemon Stadium 2 or using Pokemon Showdown, also. Requires neither to fully participate.
What do you control?
- The Pokemon on your team. Chooses a team of six at the beginning. See the list of rental Pokemon further down for your options. Sticks with that team for the entire event.
- The order of your team. Selects three Pokemon to send into battle, as well as the order. Make sure not to put a Baton Pass Pokemon in the back.
- Each Pokemon's item. May give each Pokemon an item. Choose wisely. Sticks with that Pokemon for the entire event. Cannot give any two Pokemon the same item. See the Item List down below for your available items and their effects.
- Each Pokemon's command. Instructs each Pokemon how to behave. Do you want your Kingler to never use Leer? Command it to be "Aggressive" so it will never pick Leer. Do you want Aipom to focus on status moves? Pick "Tricky". Allows you to change each Pokemon's command prior to each individual match. Listed all the commands directly below.
Commands
- Aggressive: Always selects a damaging move (unless forced).
- Confident: Selects a damaging move 75% of the time.
- Quirky: Selects a damaging move 50% of the time.
- Cautious: Selects a damaging move 25% of the time.
- Tricky: Never selects a damaging move (unless forced).
- Random: Selects all moves with equal likelihood. (Defaults to this if a command is not chosen. Uses this for enemy trainers.)
Clauses
Plays this on the Gen 2 Nintendo Cup 2000 format. (Could not figure out how to do it custom.) Includes various clauses.
- Stadium Sleep Clause: Limit one foe put to sleep
- Freeze Clause Mod: Limit one foe frozen
- Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon
- Item Clause: Limit one of each item
- Endless Battle Clause: Forcing endless battles is banned
- Event Moves Clause: Event-only moves are banned
Notes Generation 2 mechanics as well. Will not encounter any Fairy types. Never technically designated any moves as "status" yet, also. Uses Generation 4 classifications for that.
Scoring
Every 1 damage dealt = 1 point
Every 1 hitpoint remaining after battle = 0.25 points
Also awards a x1.1 score multiplier if you include a Pokemon who is not fully evolved in that match's team of 3. Increases to x1.2 by bringing two and x1.3 for all three being not fully evolved. (Note: Determines "not fully evolved" by Generation 2 Pokemon standards. Will not qualify for the multiplier by bringing Murkrow, for example.)
Adds up the scores from all of your matches to determine your final score. Drops the lowest of your four individual match scores.
List of All Rental Pokemon
Spoilered all the possible Pokemon below. Copy/paste these when sending in your team. Add your item after the @ symbol.
Lifted all the level 100 rental Pokemon from Pokemon Stadium 2's list. Leveled them down to 50. Feel free to browse them on somewhere like Serebii or this Rental Pokemon pastebin too. May be easier to read.
Notes three things:
1. Maximum DVs on all of them, unlike the rentals in Pokemon Stadium 2.
2. Selects 0 Friendship for Pokemon with Frustration and 255 Friendship for Pokemon with Return.
3. Ran into issues with Pokemon Showdown enforcing certain rules. Forced a few changes.
- Cannot select Tyranitar or Dragonite. (Must be at least level 55.)
- Cannot select Mew or Celebi. (Banned for being Uber.)
- Replaced Suicune's Mist with Psych Up. (Learns Mist at level 51.)
- Replaced Hitmonlee's Reversal with Jump Kick. (Learns Reversal at level 51.)
- Replaced Porygon's Conversion 2 with Conversion.

Item List
May select any of these items for your team. Copy/pasted it from Showdown with some rearranging. Regains any consumed items between matches. Do not forget the limit of one of each item. Stays with the Pokemon for the entire event too. (Posted an Item pastebin for alternate viewing.)

Enemy Teams
Squares off against Pokemon Stadium 2's Gym Leader Castle Round 1 teams. (Serebii link or pastebin link.) Will face 2 random gym leaders, 1 random Elite Four, and Lance.
Provides full opponent information below. Selects 3 of their 6 Pokemon listed randomly, as well as the team order. Always faces the exact same Pokemon and order as every other participant. Keeps things fairer.
One note: Dealt with format issues for Lance's team. Switched out Dragonite and Tyranitar for Kangaskhan and Feraligatr (from the Round 2 team). Tested the other teams, also. Found no issues.
Spoiler: Gym Leaders
Spoiler: Elite Four
Spoiler: Champion
Bombarded you with plenty of information. How about an example battle?
Participant's team: Magby, Ampharos, and Nidorino. Chose the Confident command for each of them.
Whitney's Team: Clefable, Dodrio, and Gloom. Picks moves fully randomly for these.
The match replay: View attachment Gen2NintendoCup2000-2023-07-13-devalue-stadium2tester.html
- Dealt 201 + 166 + 166 damage. Adds up to 533 points.
- Ended the battle with 141 health on Nidorino and none on the others. Calculates that to be (141 * 0.25) = 35.25 points.
- Brought two not fully evolved Pokemon. Puts the multiplier at x1.2.
Score = (533 + 35.25) * 1.2
Score = 681.9 points
Submit your teams to Devalue via private message on the forums or by direct messaging "devalkyr" (without the quotes) on Discord. Remember to give your Pokemon items too. Reveals these teams after the results of the first match, for the record. Feel free to ask questions in-thread or through the methods just mentioned. Permits users to join midway through the event also.

Created three achievements for this event too. Awards each of the first two achievements to a single person.
- One-Hit Wonder: 10 points. Land the most OHKO moves (Horn Drill, Fissure, Guillotine). (Tiebreaker: Fewest OHKO moves from a single Pokemon.)

Awards this third achievement to anyone that qualifies.
- Gym Trainer: 5 points. Win at least two matches with a monotype team. (For example, a Ground monotype team with Ground/Flying, Ground, and Ground/Poison. Only looks at the three Pokemon selected for a match, not your entire team.)
Future deadlines
- Leader Pryce: August 16 at 12:01 PM EST
- Gym Leader #2: August 19 at 12:01 PM EST
- Elite Four member: August 22 at 12:01 PM EST
- Lance: August 25 at 12:01 PM EST
To-do:
- Add achievements. Maybe one for landing
athe most OHKO moves like Horn Drill? - Figure out GT point scoring (not the event scoring).
Change the image on top. Likely needs to custom-make it, rather than try to photoshop the existing image. Note to self: Exploud Surround. PokeCommunity logo for the upper-right.Done. May not be a graphical masterpiece. Smiles at it, nonetheless.
Edit: Reworded a few things. Added a day to the first deadline. Spends the most time in this event picking a team. Listed all the deadlines too.
Sidenote: Works as a PvP event too. May take a while to process results for both PvE and PvP, though.
Edit2: Changed URLs to dark red. Could not figure out how to change the Showdown replay's text color. (Did nothing outside the Attach tags. Broke the attachment by putting the color tag inside.) Settled for a red underline.
