THROUGH RAIN, SNOW, HAIL, OR INTENSE LAG, IT'S SHOWDERP! REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT SHOWDOWN GENERAL, I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

THE LAYOUT IS SIMPLE:

IN THIS THREAD, WE HAVE A CHAMPION. HE IS CLAIMED WHEN THE PREVIOUS ONE RETIRES. TRIPS ARE REQUIRED IF YOU WANT TO CALL CHAMP. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TRIPS ARE THEN WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE.

THE FIRST SIX POSTS TO REPLY TO THE CHAMPION DETERMINE HIS TEAM.
THE CHAMPION THEN GOES AND BATTLES AGAINST PEOPLE IN THE POKÉBANK OU TIER ON POKÉMON SHOWDOWN.

WE WATCH, RUSE THE OPPONENT, HECKLE, GET BANNED, DISCUSS COMPLETELY RELEVANT TOPICS IN OUR OWN CHATROOM ON SHOWDOWN AND JUST GENERALLY CIRCLEJERK.

THE CURRENT CHIMP IS: SPHERICAL ICE (>>16398617)

REMEMBER YOU CAN COME AND CIRCLEJERK IN OUR plug.dj/showderp-1/ AND LISTEN TO MAD BEATS. ALSO, THERE IS OUR PRIVATE CHATROOM ON SHOWDOWN: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/showderp

WE HAVE A REFERENCE LIST OF ALL HALL OF FAME SHOWDERP SETS FOR NEW CHAMPS:
