Random Battle Tournament - Alola Version


Information

Pokémon Sun and Moon is here! Have you finished playing the game? Want to dive right into competitive, but unsure of what is new? Worry not, for this Random Battle tournament will help you experiment with the new changes without having to build a team of your own!

Post "in" to join. Make sure to invite your friends! The more, the merrier!


Rules

  • All battles will be held in PokéCommunity's battle server since a custom random battle format will be used.
  • All battles will be a Best of 3 using the Alola Random format (named [LotW 28] Alola Random on the battle server). The Alola Random format is a random battle format that consists of all Pokemon native to Alola.
  • Standard PokéCommunity battle rules apply.
  • Deadlines will be strictly enforced but extensions can be given for valid reasons.
  • Absolutely no cheating of any form will be tolerated. Please be mindful of other players and maintain sportsmanship throughout the event.

Prizes

I'm currently in talks for a possible shiny Pokémon prize! Keep an eye in this section for possible updates.


Brackets

The tournament will be in single elimination format, with each battle being a Best of 3.

This section will be updated as each round progresses.

10 people so far! Ideally, I'd like to reach the sweet 16 participants, but if circumstances won't allow it then I'll be happy to adjust. Anyway, the server hasn't been updated yet so the Alola Randoms format is still unavailable. :( Don't worry, I'll be notifying everyone if the format is available in case you want to get some practice matches in :p

Please invite your friends to join! Convince them that battling is the only thing that matters in Pokemon fun, especially if they join this tourney! :D

Heads up to those who haven't done their battles yet! You have approximately 3 days to get them done. If you've contacted your opponent and they haven't replied, you can post in this thread to serve as an "activity check."

I VM'd him on the 23rd to set-up a time to battle, and he has not responded to it or logged onto PC since then. We'll see if he does.

Though I should probably hop on the server to check if he's hanging out there and only there for some reason.

Punkysaur has informed me that their internet is way too unreliable to participate, and has allowed me to take the win.
