Pokemon Showdown Tournament

over 8 years

I'd like to start up an OU tournament on Showdown. I know we've got some die-hard fans here for sure, so who's down to make some teams? We'll likely do it in a match format as well. If you're interested, post your Showdown name, and I'll sign you up! If you don't have a Showdown account and are unfamiliar with it, don't worry about it, it's free. For anyone unfamiliar with showdown, here's the link: http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/

Get in today, and prove you're the best that ever was!

Also, to anyone who wants help building a team, we do have some experienced players who might be willing to help, or I can give you some advice if you'd like.

I'm adding Goodbar because his participation is non-optional.

UU is a more strategic tier, true. But OU is easier to play with, especially for newer and more inexperienced people. You should join anyway, lilin.


Also, ghibli, I'll add you to the list.

>not random battles


not random because even building an OU team requires skill and balancing. Random is mostly luck of the draw.

what's the rules here


The rules are simple! You build a team that is valid in the OU tier (for current OU tier listings go here: http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/formats/ou/) and you enter the tournament. You will battle your opponent in a match game, which means best two out of three, which means first one to 2 wins is the one who wins the match. If you win, you will advance to the second round. If we have enough people join, we might even be able to do a B side too. If you're interested, just sign up!

I don't really play but I'll have a shot. I made a new team recently, but it still needs a lot of work.
