One at a time, and the Hackmons is going.

---

Mike passed last time his tourney was up, so he might not want to go again anyways. Someone should ask him next they see him.

---

We need to start a tour. Mike's in chat pretty often so I'll ask if he wants to do his tour this time round, or if we just go to the Mono-Smeargle tour.

I talked to Mike and Doc. We think Mew should host Mike's tour :3
In any case. We need to get a tour started. Heck I'll host it if no one else wants to.

---

Yeah who posts doesn't matter as long as they are active and are capable of hosting.

Tournament coming soon!

Answer 1

The color tournament.

About:
In this tourney, there will be 16 competitors, who will all be assigned a color at random. From that color, they may choose any 6 Pokemon whose Dex Colour matches the color that they were given. The Pokemon and their colors are listed here. The colours are:

1. Red
2. Blue
3. Green
4. Yellow
5. Purple
6. Pink
7. Brown
8. Black
9. Gray
10. White

Basic rules:

• Sixteen competitors are allowed.
• No exceptions to the above rules. Failure to follow the rules will lead to an automatic loss or disqualification.
• No Ubers.
• No Shell Smash + Baton Pass.
• No Prankster + Copycat Phazing.
• No F.E.A.R strategies of any kind.
• The color of a Pokemon is not changed if it is Shiny.
• One battle only. No rematches, even in the case of hax.

Smogon's clauses & banlist applies.
Don't care who hosts.

Comments

So Monocolour basically.

---

Pretty much.

---

We did this. And it was awful.

If we do it again, grey and brown should be banned.

Rocks should be banned, because red will go through hell with them.

---

woooo!! mass homicide!

Answer 2

Note:This is a tourney idea for when Smogon( the people whose tiers are normally used) has adjusted thier tiers to fit the theme of this tourney.

---

Welcome come one come all to the-

Sixth Generation Premiere Tourney.

This tourney is designed to let us see just what the new pokemon can do inside the metagame. It will be standard OU but with a catch. Your team must be made of entirely or most (4 out of 6) pokemon introduced in the new Generation to come. Good Luck and Have Fun you will need it.

Note#2:More details to come as more of the new games are reveals and when the Pokemon have all been successfully placed into tiers. If things don't work out how i want them to i will change the rules to better fit the situation, so these rules arnt finalized, so no badgering me in the comments okay :P.

Note#3:Even if this tourney makes it to the top of the list it will not start until all the details have been worked out properly. Im just posting it now before i forget about my idea.

Comments

Why would you post this like 10 months in advance?

---

So i dont forget about it, its 7 months and why does it matter i already stated that this wasnt going to take place yet, plus what if someone else decided to post one i would lose my idea.

Answer 3

We've all heard of Little Cup, and we've all heard of Monotype, but what about Monotype LC?

Bans

• Regular LC Bans
• Hax Items
• Mono-Ghost Type Teams
• Mono-Psychic Type Teams
• Mono-Fighting Type Teams
• Shell Smash
• Entry Hazards of any kind
• Weather

Notes

• 16 Participants
• All teams must be made up of LC pokemon
• All teams must be made up of pokemon that are all of the same type
• Double-typed pokemon are allowed, as long as one of their types is the type you are using
• You can use whatever type team you want, bar the 3 that are banned.
• All rules are negotiable, if you can provide a tangible argument as to why a rule should be added or lifted, it will be done.

Big thanks to Kyron for helping me with the bans

Answer 4

Inspired by Mike's troll tourney, I give you....

THE OU USER BAN TOURNEY!

The idea of the tourney is that it is just like a regular OU tourney with regular bans, however, the twist is that each participant gets to pick one Pokemon to be banned for the tourney. So if Mew joins and chooses Genesect to be banned, then Genesect is banned. A few pokemon can not be banned such as weather setters, but most everything else is fair game! Note that you must ban something off you join and you can not ban something that you know no one else will use. This would have 16 participants as usual and would be held on PO/PS.

Answer 5

How about a balanced hackmons tourney? If we have a hackmons tourney then we can do a balanced hackmons tournament :D Look it up.

When everything is overpowered, nothing is overpowered. ~trachy

Comments

Balanced hack moms are so much fun

Answer 6

DB Double Cup Classic

The First Database Double Battle Tournament.

Anyone can battle with one Pokemon, we've been doing it since Gen. I. But how well can you battle with 2 Pokemon?

Answer 7

GSC 1-v-1 Tournament

Answer 8

Mono Egg-Group Tournament

• The group Undiscovered is banned

• The group Ditto is not banned, although the only pokemon you can use is Ditto.

• The regular Items bans are obviously banned

• If you are clever enough to find an uber outside of the group undiscovered, report it and we will see if you can use it. Tell the host, so nobody else knows!

Answer 9

THE OLD SCHOOL TOURNEY
I remember a time a glorious time... Sweepers didn't exist mixmence wasn't around... It was called gen 1. I remember taking my charizard,articuno,zapdos,moltres, and a snorlax to go and have fun not win. So lets go old school!
RULES
-Only gen 1 pokes
-Legends and starters only
-Moves cannot raise a stat the must deal direct damage (no stealth rock)
-moves can deal direct damage and then raise stats (charge beam)
-No customized roles
- All moves must be STAB
-dual types split 2 and 2

Comments

quick question, if you say that its old school, why not just let them use gen 1 moves instead?

---

well... Gen III had more moves so let me think...

Answer 10

THE BABY CUP

its like the little cup but we can only use pokemons that have later devolutions like elekid, smoochum, magby, pichu, etc. we can also use pokemons that have newer evolutions that comes later on like onix, lickitung, sneasel,mukrow. Dont get mixed up with other pokemons like kirlia, eevee, snorunt, etc. which have another evoltuion roots.

HOW DOES IT SOUND? leave comments of what you think about it and also about how i can make it more understandable :D

Comments

This is called Little Cup.

Answer 11

Temple Run Tourney

This tournament is based on the game Temple Run 2. There will be road blocks and runners. There will be 8 road blocks and each of them will be one of these tiers: Random, CC, LC, NU, RU, UU, OU, and Uber. There will be 4 Runners. Runners will battle the road blocks in order. If a runner wins, it advances to the next road block. If the runner loses, thy will have to restart from the beginning. The first runner to defeat all 8 blocks will win.

If a runner wins against a road block in less than these turns:
Less than 25 turns = Boost; You get to skip the next road block.
Less than 40 turns = Invincibility; You get another try to defeat the road block if you lose against it. 
Over than 41 turns = Mega Coin; No effect

Comments

Sounds similar to Ninja's gauntlet tourney

Answer 12

So heres my idea for a tournement:

There will an odd number of teams. each team will consist of 3 members, each representing one of 3 tiers: Ubers, OU, and UU.

There will be one captain per team, who chooses the tier they wish to champion. The team captain also selects a co-captain, who is also assigned a tier. This will done between me andwhoever wants to help by being a Captain. talk to me on Showdown or in chat. All three captains will select their co-captain, and this will not be public knowledge. DO NOT ASK TO BE A CO-CAPTAIN. if someone wants you, they will ask. Once the Captains and axo-Captains are all selected, the signup board will be posted, with each team as well as who is the capt and co-capt for said team, and what tier they are representing. every team must have one for each tier, and this cannit be switched around. if you sign up for ubers, you are playing ubers. tiers can be changed PRIOR TO TEAM SELECTION, since you may wamt a certain tier that is already full. for this reason all entrants must list their preference in order 1-3 and if needed, they will be assigned whichever is available. your team must win 2/3 tiers against the other team. winner will go on to the next round. we also add a lossers bracket if volume allows. Rules are standard for each tier, Prankster Riolu and other such Apam Startegies will not be allowed. Teams will choose names once all 3 members are assigned and then we will track the battles and victory/losses. if you have any complaints about a strategy that you believe was illegal, we will appoint officials to watch battles and make sure everything is on the up and up. if you wish to be a ref, apply.

thanks, any more q' ask me. UPVOTE THIS!!!

Answer 13

Tutor tourney!

This is a type of team tourney where a member joins up with a tutor of theirs, past or present. The tutor basically picks one of his/her apprentices to battle along side with during the event. They will form a team with a team name (logo is not required) and battle other teams.

With the tutor battling the opposing sides tutor and the apprentice battling the opposing apprentice. In the likelihood of winning one losing one then the tutor decides to either fight or let the pupil do it.

Fight with or your heart,soul and pride in order to state yourself as the best teacher or best pupil and declare yourself champion!

EDIT: Some people might get left out. So what I am going to do is if two people wothout a partner join they will be assigned a temporary tutor/apprentice,just to practice with and enter. You do not have to stay as their tutor afterwards. Also, in case you didn't catch you can use previous tutors instead. But the tutor must acknowledge this,you can't just say "oh Hex is my tutor I'm with him!".

I'm gonna get the boring stuff outa da way ;}

1. Full 6v6 battles with no team preview.
2. No Ubers
3. No F.E.A.R
4. No soul dew
5. All basic clauses other than item MUST be on
6. Basic smogon OU banned strategies

If this goes ahead then I will not host, but will still over view stuff (if you know what I mean, which you don't cos I don't think even I do)

Thanks!

NOTE: please include obvious stuff like timezones and when you will most likely be on. In activity will get you DQ'd, and you don't want to let down you pupil do you?

Comments

Nice, but do you think that people without tutors will be feeling left out?

---

Well maybe. i'll think of something.

---

There Dat better? any ideas are welcome.

---

if you're short on apprentices, if this tourney runs I don't mind being adopted for the purposes of the tourney and maybe forever. Lol who knows ;)

Answer 14

Behold... Mono Arceus Tournament

The on-going Smeargle tourney gave me an idea. Why not have a mono-Arceus tourney?
Well, there are some rules of course, you have to have a team full of Arceus, but the twist is that they must be a different type, each. This will stop people from spamming Close Combat all over the place on the Normal Type Arceus' :P

• Every team must be made out of Arceus.
• Each team must have six different types of Arceus.
• Standard Smogon clauses apply.
• You may toggle around with EV's however much you like.
• The only item viable is the plate of the Arceus type you're using.
• Have fun. This is the most important rule of all, and if you disobey, you're out :D

So, this is my idea, hope you like it, and hope this happens! Lez' do this!

Answer 15

Devolution Cup

Similar to little cup, but this time we're only allowed to use Pokemon that have de-volutions or get evolution later on like Pichu, Sneasel and Onix.

And, we'll only be battling at level 1 with only 2 moves.

Available Pokemon are :

These are the only few I got, a total of 40 species.

Rules are :
1) No FEAR set.
2) No Eviolite as an item.
3) Each pokemon only have 2 moves.
4) Your team must at least consist of 3 baby devolution Pokemon (Pichu, Magby, Elekid, etc.).
5) Must be in level 1.

Hope you guys like my idea :D

Comments

Could you please edit out the sprites? It is slowing the page down significantly.

oh sorry

Answer 16

NU Tourney! With a twist...

Do you hate when NU has all these Pokemon that aren't as good competitively in the upper tiers?
What happens..when your favorites also get degraded? Ho-Oh in NU? Sounds awesome.
You can now use any Pokemon in the NU tier, no matter what Pokemon it is. There are some rules on bringing down the higher tiers:

Universal rules:

• Weather is banned. Use the weather starters other abilities if you wish to use them.
• Technician is banned in OU and UU.
• Moves that have varying power based on weight and speed bypass the base power restrictions.

Ubers:

• All Pokemon that are running fully offensive movesets can only be at Level 80.
• If you want Level 100 Ubers in the tier, they must be running all status moves or have all moves under base 61 power.
• Blaziken with Speed Boost and Excadrill with Sand Rush are banned, but are allowed with Blaze and one of the other two abilities that Excadrill has.

OU:

• All Pokemon that are running fully offensive movesets can only be at Level 85.
• If you want Level 100 OUs in the tier, they must be running all status moves or have all moves under base 71 power.
• Technician is banned.

UU:

• All Pokemon that are running fully offensive movesets can only be at Level 90.
• If you want Level 100 UUs in the tier, they must be running all status moves or have all moves under base 76 power.
• Technician is banned.

RU:

• All Pokemon that are running fully offensive movesets can only be at Level 95.
• If you want Level 100 RUs in the tier, they must be running all status moves or have all moves under base 76 power.

NU, NFE, LC:

• No bans, except the universal ones.

I'm still deciding on the Levels, comment on how you think the levels should be in.
