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

TIME CAPSULE TOURNEY: This won't be of any use until gen VI

standard competitive tournament, but we all use one pokemon from Each Generation.

Optional: Using one Starter pokemon from each generation.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

This Tournament rule is simple. No attacking moves. A few ground rules to prevent issues:

• The moves magic coat and taunt are banned.
• (Optional) Prankster is banned.
• the abilities Magic guard and Magic Bounce are banned
• Sand and hail are banned (I understand they are passive, but they put huge limitations on pokemon options.

If you can think of other potential issues for game breaking, just comment and let me know.

Taunt should be banned

I thought i already put that one. I feel dumb then.

---

Substitute should be banned.

Answer 4

its time for wheel of fortune!

applause

ok, heres what gonna happen. there will be 2 wheels, a type wheel and a tier wheel. you spin both wheels, and... im not gonna bother explaining. i'll just give you a example. i spin both wheels. say i land on electric and OU. i pick a electric type from OU. bing. bang. boom. simple as that. smogon tiers and rules apply. if by some chance there isnt a certain type in the tier you spun or something, you spin one of the wheels again. all pokemon are at lv. 100. to make everybody happy, these tiers will not be used: LC, NFE, BL3. if you think more tiers should not be used, tell me, because 10-to-1 you would know better than me.

if i goofed or did something wrong, please tell me, because you're most likely more experienced than me.

i will not host or even participate. if you would like to know why, look at the comments :)

i am not participating because i dont get how OU works or how tiers work or any of that. in fact, i had never even heard of tiers until i joined this site. i dont even have a tutor.

i like this idea

Answer 5

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

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

oh sorry

Answer 6

Make a tournament here where you build your opponent's team instead of them making it themselves. you may know exactly what their pokemon have inside and out, but you don't know what they're getting.

• Shedinja is banned.
• Taunt, Self Destruct, and explosion are banned.
• all pokemon must have at least one attacking move.
• All pokemon must have four moves.
• Standard smogon clauses are in effect.
• You may not show/view your opponent's team/your team until the beginning of the battle.

you can build your opponent's team to be incredibly crappy under the assumption that they will do the same to you.

Comments

wasn't this called the secret santa tour? It was fairly popular before.

---

I have no clue.

Breaking Point is correct; although when the tourney actually went up, there was a few extra rules (e.g. each Pokemon must have a move with at least 70 power, if I remember correctly).
Same general idea though.
