Question

(Artwork by Kurt Freundlich on Twitter) (pretend thats a Mew)

Introduction

Welcome one and welcome all once again to the latest installment of the Pokemon Database seasonal tournaments! I have returned from the depths of near-inactivity to bring you today the Mewtronome Only tournament, from the mind of moderator extraordinaire and known British person, PX!

Rules (modified 2/13/2023)

• Adapted from Mono Smeargle Metronome Tournament, original rules can be found here.
• This tournament will be conducted in the Pure Hackmons format.
• Only Mew is allowed, and a team of 6 is required.
• All Mews must have Metronome as their only move.
• You may use any combination of EVs, IVs, and Natures you desire
• All Mews must have Moody Synchronize as their ability
• The only permitted item is the Leppa Berry
• Terastallization will be banned for this tournament
• If you or your opponent gets the move Imprison, restart the battle
• If you or your opponent gets the moves Disable, Taunt, or Torment while the other person is down to their final Mew, restart the battle
• Battles will be best of 1

Other Basic Rules:
- Battles will be conducted on the Pokemon DB Showdown server unless otherwise announced
- Standard Smogon PH battle clauses apply
- Spectators may not influence a player's decisions, nor can players accept outside help during a battle
- Save your replays

Please post all battle replays to the thread here. If a battle between two players is not conducted before the set deadline, then I will decide whether an extension will be granted or if a player will be disqualified for inactivity.

I will be watching each replay to ensure these rules are followed, and should they be broken, the results will not be accepted and the battle must be redone. Further rule violations will result in disqualification.

Comments

I don’t see why terastallization should be banned as it isn’t any more game breaking than stuff like moody. At least allow tera ghost so if you get hit by Block + Imprison or something you can escape. It would be pretty unfortunate if you were winning but had to restart cuz you accidentally pulled broken moves.

Everyone having moody would be funny, it could create snowballs with good rng but it’s a metronome tournament so yeah. Leppa Berry is also a pretty good idea cuz metronome doesn’t have a lot of PP and it’s pretty realistic to keep pulling moves that don’t really make any progress in the battle.

---

Just in case you didn't see PX's answer, it said she wanted "normal abilities", which I think means synchronize only.

---

Noted, will change to reflect that

---

This command should automatically enforce most of the rules.
/challenge [username], bh @@@ - species clause, - all pokemon, - all moves, - all abilities, - all items, + mew, + metronome, + synchronize, + leppa berry

Also can you please not require restarting battles when someone uses taunt? It's usually easy to switch out of taunt.

---

I don't think I'll get rid of it entirely, in the event that you're down to your last Pokemon and get Taunt or Torment-locked, but I can tweak it to the effect that you only have to restart if that's the case

Answer 1

The tournament has concluded! nachos is our winner!!

Thanks to everyone for participating! We had a great turnout for this seasons tour, and I'm glad we were able to kick off Gen 9 with such a bang! With this, the Winter tournament season has now drawn to a close (and just one day before spring starts no less), and planning towards the Spring season can start! If you're interested in hosting, leave a comment below this answer offering to host, and wait for a staff member to approve you. Anyone can volunteer to host, but be sure to check out sumwun's guide to hosting before committing to anything. Thanks again for a great tournament!

Did nachos just win without switching at all in the finals?

---

I’ll host next tournament. Should be able to get the poll out by at least the first week of January, maybe sooner.
(Ok, technically the poll will be the third week of December.)
EDIT: Dear users,

Based on the opinions of those asked, the poll will take place in the second week of December, which means signups will be the third week of December, making the first round of the tournament the fourth week of December, after Christmas. Hope this tournament is a great one!

From, Anchor9

Answer 2

This sounds like a tournament I can actually win! About time.

Showdown Username: XScipio
Time Zone: GMT-5 (Eastern Standard Time)
Availability: Usually available at all times on weekends. Usually available between 8 and 10 pm on weekdays.

If we're voting on bans, ban Rocky Helmet and Terastallization. If the latter must be permitted, make it so only Tera Psychic is allowed.

Comments

Why only Tera Psychic?

---

Mew is already Psychic type, so Terastallizing wouldn't be too impactful. I just don't want types to change, though admittedly I doubt it would make too much impact.

---

Can i sign in.?

---

@Uros to join, you can post an answer with all the relevant information.

HurryKean

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday 3PM - 10PM. Saturday 2PM - 10PM. Sunday 12PM - 10PM.

Allow terrastalization, either unrestricted or tera ghost only (to escape traps). If we can choose items, ban leftovers and rocky helmet. If we can choose abilities, ban wonder guard, fur coat, fluffy, ice scales, magic bounce, moody, neutralizing gas, arena trap, and shadow tag.

I don't have a break this week, so I think we'll have to wait until Friday or Saturday.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) should be fine. I'll be available from 3:30 to 7:00 IST. Or I'll be free on Monday. Exams suck
