BL Tournament + GIVEAWAY
Day 1: Registration + Giveaway
>What is this? This is a standard single elimination /vp/ tournament. All UU Pokemon are allowed, as well as all BL mons!
Everything allowed in UU + (Alakazam, Breloom, Buzzwole, Conkeldurr, Diggersby, Mega Gallade, Mega Gardevoir, Gyarados, Mega Heracross, Hoopa-Unbound, Mega Houndoom, Jirachi, Mega Latias, Porygon-Z, Salamence, Scolipede, Mega Slowbro, Staraptor, Thundurus (Both), Tornadus-T, Weavile, and Xurkitree.)
>Is Mega Gyarados allowed? Mega Gyarados rose in usage and is officially OU. It is not allowed.
>What format and rules apply? Standard Smogon 6v6 rules. This will be played on cart, anyone with a copy of the Gen 7 games can play, including Sun and Moon.
>How do I sign up? You leave your IGN and Friend Code as a reply. On the actual Tournament day, you will be matched up with another player and you will battle. Making battles are up to the players, and replays (Battle Videos) must be submitted by code to me.
>When is the Tournament? The 7th of January. Please don’t sign up if you won’t be available on that Sunday. The 6th will be a preparation/teambuilding and discussion day.
>What about the Giveaway? A single bot is giving out some battle ready BL mons. Deposit a Cleffa to get them. You can get as many as you want, but keep in mind that there is only one bot. The sets can be found here.
https://pastebin.com/wSg5t8Ya Z-Crystals and Mega Stones have been replaced with rare items. The event legendaries can’t be handed out on GTS, so that’s up to you.
Have Fun!

>>34622522 Posting it on dead hours might not be a good idea bud. Will give you a good bump and my blessing as this sort of thing could be good for the board nowadays.
I'm rather unfamiliar with the BL format but isn't a 6vs6 on cart rather difficult to pull off? Matches on showdown can be pretty lengthy (and boring with all the switching) so I don't know.

>>34622692 Well I considered doing 3v3s, but the monotype tournament didn't attract many with those rules, so I'm going with 6v6. All of BL except for Mega Slowbro is super overwhelming for any UU defensive mon, so most teams will be hyper offense, meaning fast 10-15 minute battles at most.
As for the thread, I'm planning on keeping it up all day through the night and I wanted to start here maybe get some replies before more people come in to attract more at that point.

Is your bot working? The gts is pretty empty of Cleffas and none of them, including mine and those that are requesting mons from the giveaway, are not getting traded.

>>34622747 I've only seen 3 Cleffas that match the giveaway mons, requesting for Breloom, Alakazam, and Houndoom but all of them still haven't been traded. Maybe there's simething specific that we need to request?

I'm thinking for my team of trying to have a pokemon from every tier other then OU and counting BL. So basically a team of one BL, UU, RU, NU, and PU and one repeat. Seems like a fun concept.

Question: When on Sunday is this going down. I got work in the morning but I'll be freed up in the afternoon at 4 EST
!Uu4urskJRQ
Quoted By:
>>34625556 Well the matches go on all day but when they happen are up to you
Example:
Person 1 vs Person 2
Person 3 vs Person 4
Winner of each fight at the end.
So yes, you can basically do it anytime as long as I get the replays before the day ends.

Bots aren't preferable, though. If you snipe at the right time you can crash the bot without needing to run your own.

Day 2s aside carts don't need to use that met and it's kind of...counter intuitive to do so?

GGs those mons you have are quite formidable and I fucking the dark types a lot. Prankstercade was the replacement mon and it shows. There is no way I can carry him when even one dark type is on the other side. I always forget that A-Muk is dark otherwise I would have switched immediately and not sub.
Oh well. It was nice to see my Heracross get work done either way. Good luck in the tourney!

>>34642951 Got that nice 2-0 victory that is nice. Really wanted to have my favorite bird finish it off but man that defeatist is such a harsh ability. Amazing job by my Diggersby to really take those hits with some help of a screencade and nearly went the distance. Overall it was a fun match and was lucky that Salamence didn’t carry intimidate, or else it could have been much closer.
