Introduction

ArceusArceus Arceus

This is actually the first time I've hosted a tournament as well, I hope it goes well! So, this is the Mono Arceus Tournament! That means only Arceus and all of different type. This tournament was suggested by Flare.

  • Teams consist of 6 Arceus
  • All Arceus must be different type
  • Arceus-Normal is BANNED
  • Both Plates and Z-Crystals can be used
  • Standard Smogon clauses and rules apply (except maybe the Species Clause)
  • To be played in Anything Goes (sorry I'm being confusing I'll be better next time)

How to participate

Signing up means committing to playing. If you sign up, you must be prepared to play each of your games. Failure to do so results in disqualification. Check this thread regularly, at least once a week. This tour will progress quickly.

Communicate with your matched opponent through comments on this thread and on each other's walls. If a game is not played whoever made the most attempt to play the game is given the win. If neither can be said to make effort, both will be disqualified

Sign up by posting an answer in this thread! Feel free to make it look nice and be witty, but include the following information: Pokemon Showdown! username(s) and Timezone

For example:

Showdown name: Fresher Than You
Timezone: GMT+0

Sign ups close 6 PM Friday (Feb 2nd) GMT+0

Rules & guidelines

Note: This will have to be played in a Anything Goes. Please use legal EVs and moves. We will be able to find out if you're using an illegal set.

Basic rules that will be forever reiterated:

  • Single elimination best of one brackets
  • Battles are to be held on the Pokemon DB Showdown! server
  • Spectators cannot influence player's descions, and players cannot accept outside help. If you break this rule you may not be allowed to compete in the future.
  • SAVE YOUR REPLAYS

And of course ask on our own Pokebase!

Finally, remember to have fun!

under the match up answer next time.
Wait wait don't hide this yet!
I think we should postpone Rio's Hunger Games tournament and skip to Mew's unnamed tournament for now. We can do the Hunger Games one after we're confident that we'll get 24 signups.
Wait so now that sumwun won does that mean he now has the undivided attention of Arceus?
I already tried asking Arceus to remove fairies. It sort of just turned around and gave me the finger.

Hey, I think Finch and I need an extension. We're both pretty busy and our schedules just aren't working out. It looks like we're not going to be able to get enough time until the weekend. Can we have until Sunday?
Sure, thanks for telling early. Feel free to battle before then.
i believe me and marshadow need an extension. he hasn't been on since Sunday, i think he's only active during the weekends (as far as I can tell), so can we have until sunday?
Hey, Guys, Marsh 07 hasn't been responding at all. IDK if he even has been on... so, what now?
Even though I lost, do I get to battle again? Also am I allowed to alter my Arceus team to make them better?
I'm guessing we're not allowed to change our sets between rounds, right? I wouldn't think so, but I want to be sure.
you can completely change teams. no need to have the same team and sets.
Guys, you do still need to ask for extensions. Ask before the end of the tomorrow if you need the weekend to battle too.
Sorry for running this down to the wire, but can sumwun and I have an extension until Sunday? We were planning to do it today, but sumwun's a bit busy, and we're not going to be able to do it today, by the GMT+0 clock, anyway.
I won against KRLW, thus asserting the dominance of puns over Roman gods. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokemondatabase-gen7anythinggoes-3235
sd ghost is OP
Somehow I knew PX and sumwun would make it to the finals and battle each other.
In fairness we were the most experienced battlers in the tournament, thought I'm not planning in being the next one to give more people a chance (that sounds really arrogant but im not trying to be ;~;)
I'm not that experienced. When I play in Smogon tournaments, I usually get 6-0'd during the first round.
Can't you post the reply of final?

Oh yeah, my Arceus team was scraped together in less than 5 minutes. How can you hope to beat that?
Now that I guess we're finalists, I can battle you Tuesday 7:00 pm GMT.
By the way, my nicknames are better than yours.
That time sounds good to me

Yeah they probably are, my good nicknames are all inside jokes.
Sorry I didn't come on Tuesday. Can we battle on Friday 7:00 pm?
Yeah thats fine with me

Since you didn't show up at 1:00 am today, can we battle Sunday 1:00 am?

It's been too long since I participated in a tournament, but now I finally have time to do one, so I'm definitely taking this opportunity!

Showdown! Name: Finchwidget
Time Zone: North American Eastern Time/UTC -4

Looks like we're facing each other first. I'm going to be busy soon, and I don't know exactly when I'm going to get another opening, but around 8-10 my time (9-11 yours) should probably work for me later today. If today doesn't work, then I'm not going to be open at all tomorrow, but I'll be free the entire afternoon on Sunday. Just tell me what'll work for you.
Can you do weekday afternoons? That would honestly be the best time for me, from like 3-7 my time, which would be 2-6 yours. If that's not ideal, I can try for Sunday afternoon like you said, but I'm not sure how well it will work out
I'm not going to have any time on Wednesday or Thursday, but I could make any time past 4:30 (5:30 for you) work on Tuesday and Friday, if you can't spare any time today. Normally I wouldn't have any time on Monday either, but it's looking like I might have the day off; I'll check back in here tomorrow and confirm whether that's actually happening.

Edit: Looks like I got today off.

sumwun
GMT-13

Yay people are signing up this time! Let's see if we can get 8 signups.
Can I ask why you're having us post answers instead of comments? They seem to be cluttering up the thread.

Answers are better since it allows people to post on each other's signups to arrange matches -- so it's good for organisation. It also keeps the thread at the top of all the navigation lists while signups are open. It's also how we've done it in the past which seemed to work.
Congrats sumwun.
Thanks I guess.

We were just kidding about getting paired but here we are ;~;

When are you able to battle? My schedule's weird so it'd be easier to fit around yours.
lmfaoooo this is great! I've been waiting to see what you learned from the SPL! This is so cool.

Honestly, my schedule's wonky af, plus college. Honestly the two of us have a better chance just hanging around the server till the other shows up :/

Still, let's plan further on each other's Wall, yea?
I'm not going to let PX win the tournament lol.
We'll see about that
