Galar Invitational

Welcome PC battlers to our newest tournament! Generation 8 is right around the corner and as you all probably know by now, all of the Pokémon that currently exist will not be in the newest games. This will have a huge affect on the next generation of competitive battling because the Pokémon that are excluded from the games will not be available to use in the upcoming metagame. This tournament will be a sort of a test run of what that will be like. Gimmepie has used a RNG tool to generate 60 Pokémon that are theoretically being sent to the Galar region. You may form a team of any of these 6 Pokémon to use in the tournament. This tournament will follow USUM OU rules, however, Mega Pokémon and Z-moves are not allowed.

Rules

  • All battles are to be held on our battle server.
  • Save and post all replays in this thread.
  • Scouting is possible so you may change your team at any time during this tournament.
  • Best of 3 format.
  • Have fun!

What's your time zone? I don't know when I'll be free on the 18th, 20th, or 21st (GMT -4), but I'm able to any other day like the 19th. 19th in the evening your time would be fine, or really most any other time.
