WELCOME!
THROUGH RAIN, SNOW, HAIL, OR INTENSE SERVER LAG, IT'S SHOWDERP! REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT SHOWDOWN GENERAL. ONLY COME HERE IF YOU'RE PREPARED FOR SOME SUPREME FAGGOTRY.

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, SPAM EBIC MAYMAYS (ACTUALLY PLEASE DON'T DO THAT), HECKLE, GET BANNED, DISCUSS COMPLETELY RELEVANT TOPICS IN OUR OWN CHATROOM ON SHOWDOWN AND JUST GENERALLY CIRCLEJERK.
NOTE FOR CHAMPS: PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT CHALLENGES FROM ANYONE, THE POINT IS FOR THE BATTLES TO BE RANDOM.

THE CURRENT CHIMP IS:

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
MAKE SURE TO MESSAGE AN ADMIN TO CONFIRM THAT YOU'RE FROM THIS THREAD.

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