Welcome to Alola!
The tournament
To celebrate Pokémon Sun and Moon's releases, we are hosting a Generation 7 tournament! In this, you will have to choose one of the Alolan starter Pokémon's evolutions, and any other Pokémon new to Generation 7 for your team. You are, however, restricted to only using up to one Island Guardian, no Ultra Beasts, and no Ubers (Solgaleo or Lunaala).


The rules
  • Battles are to be held on PokéCommunity's Showdown server, or the main Pokémon Showdown server
  • Battles will be Best of 3, in the Gen 7 OU tier
  • Your team must have one of the following: Decidueye, Incineroar, or Primarina
  • Your team can have at most one of the Island Guardians: Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Fini or Tapu Bulu
  • Your team may only have new Pokémon from Generation 7, including Alolan forms
  • Ultra Beasts are banned from this tournament

First round bracket can be found in this post.

Question: Are we allowed to use unreleased hidden abilities (i.e., Intimidate on Incineroar)?

Speaking of unreleased stuff, since you didn't mention them, I assume Magearna and Marshadow are usable?
Gen 7 OU rules, so unreleased stuff are not allowed!

Can we use Magearna?
It's not released yet, so no. It'll be released on December 5th, but since this tournament will start before then, Magearna will remain banned for the tournament.

I know it's not an Alolan Pokemon but what about Ash-Greninja? It's only available in Sun and Moon and without Protean I don't think it will be Uber.
Greninja is no longer banned but as it's a Generation 6 Pokémon, it won't be allowed in this tournament.

Here's the bracket for the first round. The deadline is next Thursday, December 1st. The battle server should be getting updated with Generation 7 very soon, but in case Gen 7 OU is not available yet, you can battle on Showdown's main server instead.
