Catch & Evolve Tournament [WON BY CHRISTOS]
 

Catch & Evolve is a tournament format that encourages creativity and the use of the few resources you're given to start off with. In this format, a randomly generated base stage Pokemon is given to each participant. Upon defeating their opponent, a participant can "catch" one of the opponent's Pokemon and add it to their team, and also evolve either the Pokemon they just "caught" or one of the Pokemon already on their team. Catch & Evolve has a few stipulations and guidelines that keep the format running smoothly so I'll outline them below. Follow them to a tee so that you don't get confused or disqualified.

About Starters
... each participant is issued one Pokemon;
... each participant has one re-roll, meaning they can get a new Pokemon;
... however, upon re-roll, the new Pokemon is permanent and cannot be changed.
... the following Pokemon will not be issued as starters:

About Catching and Evolving
... a "round" is defined as one match-up;
... only one Pokemon can be caught from a defeated opponent per round;
... only one Pokemon can be evolved from a participant's current party per round;

About Battling
... Focus Sash may not be used in round one (prevents stuff like SS Clamperl from being advantageous);
... Eviolite may be used in round one and on;
... no moves or abilities are restricted from Pokemon, but builds must be legal in OU.

An example of how this plays out, for those of you who are visual:

Spoiler:
Round 1
P1 (Torchic) v. P4 (Timburr) - P1 catches Timburr, evolves Torchic
P3 (Shellder) v. P2 (Eevee) - P2 catches Shellder, evolves Shellder
P5 (Machop) v. P6 (Vulpix) - P6 catches Machop, evolves Machop
P7 (Scyther) v. P8 (Sneasel) - P7 catches Sneasel, evolves Scyther

Round 2
P7 (Sneasel, Scizor) v. P1 (Timburr, Combusken) - P7 catches Combusken, evolves Combusken
P2 (Cloyster, Eevee) v. P6 (Machoke, Vulpix) - P6 catches Cloyster, evolves Vulpix

Round 3
P6 (Cloyster, Machoke, Ninetales) v. P7 (Blaziken, Sneasel, Scizor) - P6 wins!


Round 1
Exile vs. Squirrel
ScraggyTrainer vs. destinedjagold
Sphealo vs. Aslan
Necrum vs. Bidoof FTW
static vs. apocalypseArisen
Christos vs. King Syn oddish
Yoshikko vs. Mueez
Archer99 vs. Castform

Round 2
Necrum vs. Archer99
Aslan vs. Yoshikko
Squirrel vs. Christos
static vs. destinedjagold

Round 3
Christos vs. destinedjagold
Aslan vs. Archer99

Final
Aslan vs. Christos

WE'RE FULL! POST HERE IF YOU WANT IN. I will private message you your starters once we have either 16 or 32 participants. If there's a number of participants between, I'll have to make two separate brackets, because this will not work very well with byes.
