The Road to VGC! (Part 2)
 
So, onto part two! How will this one be different from the last one, you ask? Read on.

This time, you will have the opportunity to think about and build a team for yourself. You will be assigned a personal tutor and learn the ins and outs of battling, threats, team building, and strategy. When you feel your team is ready, you can challenge the tutors as well as everyone else who completed their training. Your tutors can be found on Trade Corner's chat. Yeah, we're rarely on PC's Showdown (/shrug).

What's so special about this one? Well! You can gain points for defeating a tutor or challenger! When you obtain a certain number of points, you will receive a prize, namely one RNG'd AND trained Pokemon of your choice (if available)! Your choice may be anything you wish, as long as it is possible for one of us to obtain for you. The maximum number of prizes you can earn is 6, so essentially, you may gain a free VGC team, if you choose so.

Rules:

- All battles will take place on PC's Showdown server
- All battles will be in doubles VGC
- Item Clause: All Pokemon must be carrying a different item
- Species Clause: All Pokemon must be of different species
- The following Pokemon are banned: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Chatot, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect
- The following moves are banned: Sky Drop, Dark Void
- All participants must not use unreleased Dream World Abilities or items
- Students may not battle against trainers and other students
- You may not battle a trainer more than once in the last 5 battles (effective only if there are enough participants among the tutors and trainers)
- Points will not start to accumulate until you reach Trainer status with the sole exception of winning against your tutor

Side rules:

- Report your wins here in a new post
- Both sides must confirm their battle
- When claiming a prize, please VM me exactly what you want, including: IVs, nature, etc.

May I sign up? My PS name is nemaizels

cbd98 August 29th, 2013 4:37 PM

I'll sign up too, PS name is cbd98.

Griffinbane August 29th, 2013 5:52 PM

Yep, I'll add you both in. For now I'll put you both under students until I can test out your teams. If you two can battle well, I'll bump you up to trainers but that won't disqualify you from seeking tutoring, just lets you start brawling. ;)

VM me whenever you wanna set up a battle.

Ooka August 30th, 2013 12:09 AM

I'd like to join, just hopefully this one won't be cancelled half way through. xD So yeah, sign me up.

Griffinbane August 30th, 2013 1:43 PM

You don't have to confirm our battles cbd, since I'm the one who lost against you. Heh. 2 wins for you and you now qualify for a prize. Enjoy!
