>>16677778 This is a tournament over what will be the Christmas Holiday for most folks on /vp/. It will start on December 20, and rounds will occur every 2 days, until it has completed.
The rules for this double elimination tourney are simple.
1. You have a team of 6 pokemon, but the actual battle is 3v3. Finals will be 4v4.
2. Pokemon on your team must all share a chosen type. Your type will be made public. Megas that change type are valid for ALL possible type teams.
3. Flat rules. So no special pokemon
4. Matches are best out of 3 battles. Substitutions are limited to your team of 6, but are allowed.
5. Be as assholish and dastardly as you want to be. There are no bans on any pokemon or moves, aside from the legendaries, as per flat rules.
6. Disconnects will count as draws, unless the players decide to redo that particular battle. Having a record of repeated disconnects may result in a disqualification.
7. Unplayed rounds count as a loss. More rules on this forthcoming
8. Mons obtainable in gen 6 only. This shouldn't actually be an issue though, as everyone should have their teams assembled before pokebank is up and running.
9. NO SIMULATORS! Let's do this all through the 3DS and then post up the battle videos for everyone to watch!
10. There are no prizes. If you hack to predict moves, all you're doing is cheating yourself out of any sort of real victory here. This is for fun.
Preliminary registration form is HERE:

I'm not sure about Zapdos but I don't see what you wouldn't be able to use it.
For the time, the real OP has tried to figure it out at one point but we never got anything set up.

>>16716431 All I see a threat would be fighting and fairy and for fighting you have dark/ghost types.
For fairy you have bisharp.
For bug I'm not to sure, but how often will you get hit hard with bug unless it's volcarona. And even then all you have to do is stop it from setting up.
I guess Galvantula is a threat as well in that department. Anonymous

I will put up a google doc when the first round comes so you can list your team. I'd like to gain some stats from this. You should also be considerate of your first round partner, since there will probably be less than a little surety. The official pairings doc will have more info.

>>16731976 Here's what I've got so far though:
- mandibuzz
- bisharp
- sableye
- greninja (mostly because he can turn into something that's NOT dark, and gives me well needed water/psychic/ice/whatever coverage)
I've dabbled a bit with assault vest ttar before. A focus blast from a life orb gengar only does about 65% to him - he's about the only special wall dark's got, besides maybe umbreon.
Hydreigon hits like a truck and is a great attacker. Problem is that he's relatively slow and doesn't have very many resists to switch into. Also that x4 fairy weakness isn't helping.
Absol's not a bad pokemon but doesn't bring anything useful to a dark team
Crawdaunt and weavile both have good priority
Malamar's a one trick pony
And then there's houndoom. Has a useful bug and fairy neutrality but not very bulky to withstand much of it.
I've never played 3v3 before so I imagine I'm overthinking it too much with needing two walls. Maybe I should just take mandibuzz as the one wall and make the other 2 slots the relevant attackers? I'm not sure
Anonymous
>>16732108 I think Hydreigon is necessary for you. Though you have Greninja, coverage coverage coverage, with Dragon you can hit a lot of things. I'd scarf it.
Crawdaunt isn't an awful idea, but maybe go with Weakness Policy TTar.

>>16732143 >Weakness Policy TTar. Is he fast enough for that?
I do definitely need the ttar since he's basically my rock/ground attacker

Ferrothorn.
Open with gyro ball.
Swagger? Please. 50% chance that liepard dies, period, the first round, and that's if i don't give him a lum berry (which I usually don't need to).
Substitute? Thanks to liepard and ferrothorn's speed difference, gyro ball hits the fucker like a truck. You just bought yourself one round and guaranteed the KO on the next round will hurt even more.
And Foul Play? You'll get one. Tops. and that's if you either use it the first turn or got lucky with Swagger.
then there's blissey and chansey, who LAUGH at your tactic.
Then there's Talonflame with a lum berry.
3/4 of those are fairly common, and don't even need to really catch on to your gimmick to render it useless.
