ORAS Mono-Type Tournament
 
SHOWDOWN BRACKET
REGISTRATIONS END/BATTLES BEGIN JANUARY 1st, 2015


Ever wanted to showcase your aptitude for being a Gym Leader? Then this is the tournament for you! Everybody picks one type that they'll stick to for the duration of the tournament, and a maximum of two people may claim the same type. Your team must consist of 5 Pokemon that share the type you've chosen, and your 6th Pokemon can be whichever typing you'd like. Pokemon that change type upon Mega-Evolving will be counted as the type of it's Mega-Evolution (Mega-Charizard X is viable for Fire and Dragon teams, Mega-Pinsir is viable for Bug and Flying teams, etc.)

***The type you choose is what you have to stick with for the duration of the tournament - but the Pokémon, Movesets, EVs, etc. can change from round to round as long as you're still using at least 5 Pokémon of the type you chose.***

Not unrelated at all! I was planning on giving about a week to register - especially considering this week is busy for a lot of us. So I'm gonna say January 1st battles will start. I'll add that to the top of the first post, thank you for reminding me.

Ghost it is, and yes it begins on the first :]

timemagetim December 23rd, 2014 8:14 PM

Also is there a difference between the forums competetive thing and the standard pokemon showdown?

To be honest it's been a few years since I've battled here, but Smogon is usually a reliable source for Tiers / Banlists / Clauses / etc so that's what I tried to model the rules around. The main differences I've noticed in battle format/rules is between The Pokemon Company's VGC Rules and Smogon Rules. I hope that answered your question!

timemagetim December 23rd, 2014 8:24 PM

Yeah long as we're playing by smogons rules I've got no worries. Are we gonna tell about our teams or are we being all secretive?

Yeah it's all based around Smogon rules, so no worries there. No you don't have to disclose what your team is, all your opponent will be able to know beforehand is what Type you chose. Only 5 of your Pokemon have to be your chosen type and your 6th is up to you :]

JustJeff December 23rd, 2014 11:37 PM

I'd like to join as well~ Psychic on the Showdown Division~
Although i do have a Question. Will it be following Smogon's Mono-Type tier list? Found here --->>> http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/monotype-xy-read-post-393-for-tiering-updates.3493087/page-16#post-5694854
i know that the 6th slot is a wild card pkMn if that's the rite term 4 it, but nonetheless~

Oh I didn't know they had Mono-Type Tiers, though it seems to pretty much cover their usual banlist. Though the type only bans kinda of confuse me - for instance Aegislash is banned on steel teams but it doesn't say anything about ghost teams. So they allow Aegislash for ghost?

I kinda play Mono-Type a lot so yeah, they do~
Also Genesect on Bug Teams. N the general T-Flame Ban~ ;)
Soooo.... is it implemented? Or perhaps later you'll come to a conclusion~

I'll take more time to study that link before the start of the tournament - I just don't want to implement something before I fully understand it haha Thank you for sharing the link, I may consult you if I have more questions :]

halcyonic December 24th, 2014 1:32 AM

i suggest following standard ou rules and not monotype rules. some of us are unfamiliar with the monotype rules and banned pokemon and it might take some time for certain people to familiarize themselves with the rules. on top of that, most of us are already accustomed to standard ou rules so yea.
