Hex's Haunted House- Round 3 Start!

enter image description here


About this Tournament

"Hex's Haunted House" is a Seasonal Double Elimnation Tournament themed after Halloween that will be run annually during Fall Season [October] (depending on it's popularity). Based on Pokemon Emerald's Version's Battle Pike attraction at the Gen. III Battle Frontier, this Tournament aims to set itself aside from standard, boring old Tournaments in increasing the Challenge through a series of unfortunate events, which are defined as "Cursed Conditions" that will be Randomly assigned to a player through a RNG system. However, you can also receive "Special Condition Tokens" that can also be earned through the RNG system as well. They can be be redeemed to trigger their own, beneficial conditions at any time. It is to be played in the current 5th Gen. OU Tier. Failure to follow the Rules will trigger the Arceus-Ghost Condition (resulting in a DQ, so be sure to ask questions about how to follow them before your Battle begins.

All Battles are to be Posted in the DB League / Tournament Post in the RMT Section.


Intoduction

Hex

Welcome, brave souls, to my mansion. My friends and I have long awaited guest. As you may know, each October, I invite maybe 16 or 20 lucky persons to my... famed... house. I apologize in advance for my... friends. They don't take kindly to just anyone in the mansion; they have the tendency to test . But that shouldn't be a problem, I've already discussed the situation over with them. But where are my manners? Don't be scared. There is nothing to worry about. After all, we're going to have one heck of a time. Heh heh heh....


Rules

Hex's Butler
> Good evening. Welcome to Master Hex's house. As you may know, Hex and I are not your only company. Between you and I, your going to have one heck of a time. Our little friends around here tend to test, but their just doing there job. They want to make sure that they have only those who are Pokemon-friendly under the roof.
You and 15 to 19 other (16-20) others are invited to Hex's Haunted House, and will be forced to battle each other in the 5th Gen. OU Tier by Hex's mischievous Ghost-type Pokemon. who have locked and barred the windows to make sure no one runs from their little game. This is a Halloween Themed Tournament, and is also a dedication to our previous Champion, Hex.

  • The Tournament will be using Smogon's Tiers.

  • The Tournament will follow Smogon's Rules.

  • Each participant will follow the above conditions.

  • Failure to follow these conditions will lead to a DQ.

  • Each battle will be monitored to enforce these conditions.

  • The Conditions below are applied AFTER a Match.

  • Conditions where off after one Battle.

  • Double Elimination Tournament

  • **All Battles must be Posted in the Tournament Replays.

"Cursed Conditions"- How they work

Cursed Conditions, or just "Conditions", are the Ghost Typed Themed Effects that will be randomly assigned to each player after each Battle. Using a RNG by the Host, Moderators, or Editors not participating in the Tournament, a number will be chosen that defines which Condition will be triggered. You will be notified of this on your Wall, so be sure to check them. Be sure to check your Team so that it follows the condition; failures to follow a condition will result in a DQ.

"Special Conditions"- How they work

"Special Conditions" are beneficial effects that can be activated through player decision. Each round, 2-3 randomly chosen Players will be awarded "Special Condition Tokens" (SCT's) through an additional RNG Roll. They can be redeemed in any Round bar the Finals, and will expire at the end of the selected Round. Who receives and uses the SCT's will be recorded by the Host (Vast White Warrior A.K.A. Enoch), but it is the Players prerogative to either hide or reveal to other Players.

How to apply Cursed and Special Conditions- Example

As stated above, the Host will assign each of you a CC through an RNG App and even fewer of you for SC's. Beginning after Round 1, you all will be "Cursed" by Hex's little companions, however before then you will have about a day to modify your team. Below will be an example of how to know which one (or two) you've been hit with:

  1. You will be a given a Set of numbers after each Round, each indicating a Condition and its effect. The first number will indicate which Cursed/Special Condition you've been hit with, the second number, 1-6, telling you which Pokemon to apply it to in the order that it appears in Battle. Some Conditions have third numbers that determine additional factors, such as Gengar's Hex CC, where the #1 is equal to Flame Orb, #2 to Toxic Orb, or #3 for Lagging Tail. Below will be an example of how to apply these Cursed and/or Special Conditions:

Pokenub receives a notice from the host about what his next CC will be. He finds out that he in fact has been chosen for a SC as well. For his CC, he is given #'s 5-3-2.

  1. 5 = Cursed Condition #5, Gengar's Hex, which means that one of his Party members has to change their item to either a Flame Orb, Lagging Tail, or Toxic Orb.

  2. 3 = The third part memeber on his Team. His Team goes Glameow / Weedle / Garchomp and etc., and so Garchomp, as the third member to show up in Battle during Team Preview, has to change from a Choice Band <-> one of the 3 items. But which one?

  3. 2 = Flame Orb, so now Pokenub much go into the Teambuilder and change his Garchomp's held Item from a Choice Band into a Flame Orb. Tough luck kid.

For his second Set of #'s, they he gets 2.

  1. 2 indicates that he received SC #2, Umbreon's Synchronize Token. So now you can screw somebody else over!

  2. Since his SC allows him to target his opponent as well, he should then message a Host to send his CC #'s to any player of his choice.

  3. He chooses Lenub. Lenub then receives the additional CC, 5-3-2, so the third member of his party is also Flame Orbed. So his Heatran loses Leftovers, since it was the third Pokmeon to show up in Team Preview :)


Failure to Follow the above Rules and/or Conditions will result in Judgement

Arceus-Ghost

The Guardian of the household. Dr. Seuss never lies. He also speaks in funny rhymes! I'll let you in on a little secret though: he sees everything.
Judgement- Occurs when a player rejects the rules or is caught cheating. Disqualification. Enough said.


ROUND 3 @ CHALLONGE

btw, MrKijani: make sure you mention the Terra failing to KO -1Donphan and the lost speed tie

Meet my friends

Allow me to introduce to you your other host. They can be a bit annoying, but there just testing you. The truth is that there shy, and believe me, you won't even see the half of the time. (And I am not kidding about that one).


Gengar- Cursed Condition # 2

enter image description here

Meet Gangsta. He's a bit shy, so you won't notice him until... it's too late.
Hex- Occurs randomly. That Pokemon now holds a Toxic Orb, Flame Orb, or Lagging Tail Item.

  • 1 = Toxic Orb

  • 2 = Flame Orb

  • 3 = Lagging Tail


Misdrevious- Cursed Condition # 6

enter image description here

Meet Miss Drevious, one of the most adorable ghouls in town. Don't let her looks fool you, she is quite the mischievous one...

Screech- Causes the targeted Pokemon to be de-evolved.


Sableye- Cursed Condition # 5

enter image description here

My other friend, Itachi. He's a little slow to get to know, but it's certainly worth your time.

Torment- Occurs randomly. The targeted Pokemon are disabled from using one Move.

  1. The RNG will be rolled to choose a number between 1 through 4.

  2. Based on the number you receive, delete the corresponding Move from your Pokemon's Movepool in the Teambuilder
    - The Randomly chosen number corresponds with the order in which the Move appears on the Movepool from top to bottom.

An example is as follows:

If I receive #1 for my Salamence, then the Bolded Move should be Deleted

Salamence @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 Def
Naive Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- Flamethrower


Mismagius- Cursed Condition # 1

enter image description here

Madame Fantina, meet my guest. She's what one would call "short-tempered". Just don't get on her bad side.
Bewitch- Causes a randomly chosen Pokemon to have it's Level reduced by a certain amount depending on it's Tier. The Level decreases are as follows:

  • OU: 15 Levels
  • UU: 12 Levels
  • RU: 8 Levels
  • NU: 5 Levels

Chandelure- Cursed Condition # 3

enter image description here

Chandler, Charm, Candy, Calcifer, and Kane are all five of out Chandelures. They provide us with lighting and heating, so I can already tell that you'll be great friends with them all.

Soul Devour- Occurs randomly. Causes one Pokemon to be forced into Switching it's Ability.

  • If the Pokemon Randomly chosen by the RNG has only one Ability, it will bere-rolled until it lands on one that is.

Jellicent - Cursed Condition #4

Jellicent

Meet Jester, a playful fellow. He hides in our plumbing, so be careful in the restrooms. He is well known to possess.
Shadow Tag Occurs randomly. The targeted Pokemon's IV's are reset to 0.


Dusknoir- Special Condition # 7

enter image description here

Mr. Noir is a rather solitary individual that may be a rare meet since he enjoys spending his days taking strolls to... who knows where.

Otherworld- Causes the Pokemon performing a Sweep to be removed from the party for the next battle. This condition expires after the next battle has finished.

  • A Sweep in this Tournament is described as KO'ing 3 or more Pokemon consecutively

Meet my Pets

Among otherworldly company will be my Pets, Professor X and Magneto, who have some silly notion in their minds that they are the King and Queen of the Hex Manor. Their a bit more friendly then their peers, if you can catch a glimpse of them at all. They prefer solitude, and are so superfluous that they reveal themselves to only those they deem worthy

Umbreon- Special Condition # 2

enter image description here

Meet Magneto. His coat is groomed so finely every week that it blends in with the shadows. However, if he decides to reveal himself, his rings will glow.

Blessing of the Moon - Given out Randomly. The target will be asked a triva question about the DB or Pokemon Games/Anime. If True, the player then has the Ability "Synchronization", in which a condition that is applied to a character is applied to another player of their choice at the time of their choosing (So basically, you get to take down other people with you) :)


Espeon- Special Condition # 3

enter image description here

Meet prissy at it's finest. She can read your mind, so be sure to check your manners... Or you may find yourself one of her puppets.

Magic Mirror- Given out Randomly.. The target is given a token that can be used at any time. When used, a condition is reflected at another player of your choice. So you can purposely trigger a condition and screw someone else over.


Delphox- Condition # 1

Delphox

Who could forget the legendary Delphi of ancient times? After falling from idolization, she has found her home here... She can sense ill intent, so keep your thoughts and heart clean, unless you may wake up to a nasty surprise...

Bad Omen: Occurs randomly. The selected player is given the Oracle Token, which can be redeemed any Round, lasting until the next, that allows them to inflict an additional Cursed Condition on whoever they target.


Take a Tour of the Hex Manor...

Besides our otherworldly company and mind-reading pets, the Hex Manor is also full of cursed- er, I meanpriceless-p items that can be found in no other Region. Here we have the Legendary Dark Blade Excalighost...

Honedge- Special Condition # 4

enter image description here

The Legendary Sword of King Arthur of Medieval England, before he eventually died. It is said to contain his soul, carrying on his fighting spirit to however it deems worthy. But that's silly, right? (Or is it)

Chivalry Shift: Given out Randomly. The recipient receives the Knight Sword, in which they can Challenge the player of their choosing. Both the user and the targeted player will swap Opponents. Expires after one use.

If a 0 is the last digit, does that mean the last digit is unneeded for determining what i do with my CC? Sorry, this is worded terribly :P
Since in basic Math the number "0" has no value, then it obviously means that it also has no value or purpose in this Tournament as well. It is only their for standardized formatting purposes, as some CC's have 3 Digits.

Does that simplify it any better? I can break it down further if your still confused.
Sorry guys, I suxaphones at Hosting :P

I forgot to Update the Rules, if the selected Pokemon can't Apply the given Condition, up the Number by 1- so basically, if you get Inflicted by Misdrevious but on Celebi, you would go to the next Pokemon. If NONE of your Pokemon Devolve, then please leave a Comment- another CC will be selected.

Thanks for patching that up guys!
gdi Enoch. *suxaphone ;-;
But way to earn Cake points.
