KRLW890's Polytype Tournament

Question

So it's not quite the 3rd for me yet, but it's close enough, and my time zone's behind most of the world anyway, so I'm going to go ahead and open signups for

The Polytype Tournament

Rules

• No two Pokémon on your team may share a type
• Showdown! OU format

I've said this on both the Discord server and in the chat room, but both single-typed Pokemon and type-changing abilities are allowed.

Simpler rules than usual, but hopefully no less fun!

Signups (now closed)

Please read the tournament guidelines before signing up. Signups should be an answer that includes your Showdown! username, time zone, and available times. It should look something like this:

KRLW890
GMT-6
6 PM through midnight on weekdays, all day on weekends

Signup deadline is January 10.

Good luck, everyone :)

Comments

Hi, I'm new to the site. I would like to ask if there is any Pokemon level limit and maximum amount of Evs and Ivs at the tournament?

---

We're playing using the OU format, which does not put any additional limits on levels, EVs, or IVs other than the limits that are already programmed into the newest Pokemon games (ie. level 100, 252 EVs in each stat, 508 total EVs, 31 IVs in each stat).

---

I'm quitting the tournament because I can't access Showdown now. It can't load or anything, either screen freezing or giving Error messages. So I'll resign from the tournament for now

---

One more question, will we take a vote to decide which specific parameters will have to be met for teams (e.g. All Dual Types, like the original tournament suggestion recommended)?

---

Cant wait to begin the tournament!
Good luck everyone!

Answer 9

Round 4

sumwun vs ☆SleepyDreepy☆
Due to an oversight last round, J™ fought DeltaEmerald again.

Remember to save your replays! You will have until Tuesday, February 23rd to battle. Extensions may be granted upon request.

I have been informed that our Showdown server has been fixed and is now able to save replays.

Comments

Crap, I just realised that I used two dark types in the last round. I need to battle J again.

---

Sumwun and i will still battle right?

---

@DeltaEmerald Ugggh, I was so happy to see that you had battled that I didn’t realize you broke the rules.
Okay, I’m not going to revoke this round, so one of two things can happen: either I disqualify you for breaking the rules and let J continue instead, or nullify your last battle and let both of you fight each other again as part of this round.
I was pretty close to going with the first option, but if J’s okay with battling you again, then I’ll allow it. I’ll let him decide.

---

I'll fight Delta Again, no issues.

---

Sorry, I had Spectrier on my team and then it got banned, so without thinking I looked for a lando answer.

---

It's fine.  We will meet on the DB server now that it is fixed.  I will be On from 3:30 to 6, give it take a couple minutes.
