2011 TREZ Pokémon Tournament Hosted by Yatterman-2 aka Torchman Rules written by Saberman Entries Begin: February 28, 2011 Entries End: April 13, 2011 (will be extended if there are not enough competitors) Round 1 Begins: April 19, 2011 (6 days given to give the host(s) time to prepare the brackets) ~Tournament Rules~ -All battles will be fought 6 on 6 Single Battle style using Pokémon Online, a battle simulator. The program could be found here: http://www.pokemon-online.eu/ *Regarding the Program* 1. Use the Team Builder to build your team. This program prevents ALL cheating, so illegal movesets or stats are not possible. Please keep and utilize all 510 EVs available. If you need help building teams as far as strategy goes, use this link to help you out. 2. Please create your Trainer using your current TREZ name to make it easy to recognize you. 3. A server will be created especially for TREZ to use for the tournament so non-TREZians cannot access the server. The name and password to enter the server will be posted shortly. 4. During EACH match in the tourney, AT LEAST 2 users must have Pokémon Online open, present on the aforementioned server,and select "Become a Spectator/Watch This Battle" and become spectators. These two or more users will be watching the battle to the end and observing the battle logs. This is to have a witness for disconnects and/or be rules consultants/judges (i.e., someone uses a Pokémon that they didn't register, use Gen. 5 stuff, etc.) Banned Pokemon and Abilities -Entrants may register two additional Pokémon (aside from their team of 6) to swap into their team between battles. If a competitor is caught using a Pokémon aside from the total of 8 registered, that competitor will be disqualified. -There will be 32 total entrants in the tournament. If there is not enough it will be cut down to 16. Final Notes: Prize will be announced later on. Please post any questions here.

We should have more than one judge, because if that person goes inactive, then we'll have to wait for that person to continue. It's going to be hard to find someone who's both active on TREZ and has a good knowledge of Pokemon competitive while not participating in the tournament. @The second part about you being eliminated: That's why you have to change your movesets and stuff each round. Even though they're the same Pokemon, different movesets and stuff could and will dramatically change the team. Edited by Saberman, Mar 26 2011, 12:55 AM.

Doesn't really even have to know too much. All he needs to do is take down a list of people's teams, and make sure they stick to the list in battle. Oh, and verify the outcome of each battle. |

True. I guess we're all experienced enough battlers to handle ourselves in an honorable fashion anyways. This seems like a good idea. Once again, just as a reminder, as soon as Torch (Yatterman) finishes the ban list, then I'll make the final revision to the rules. After that, we should be good to go. The dates will be extended for 1-2 more weeks than they already have been if necessary. Edited by Saberman, Mar 26 2011, 01:24 AM.

Sure, I'll add that revision in. Prevent any of those cheap stratagies that are effective, but kill the spirit of the game. Just like the Evasion clause, if you think about it. |

Keep up with the thread before posting. Metagross and Tyranitar are banned under Yatterman's Ban List described on the previous pages. The first post is outdated. Read the entire thread, not just the first post. We haven't revised that post yet. Unfortunately, I have no control over the title of the thread nor the editing of the first post, so I cannot do it immediately. I will send Yatterman the revised rules when we decide on a finalized ban list, "we" being Yatterman. Edited by Saberman, Mar 30 2011, 11:04 PM.

I'm gonna drop out, and be an impartial judge if we ever get enough participants. The team I would have used: Bronzong (Heatproof, Leftovers) -Stealth Rock -Trick Room -Gyro Ball -Explosion Snorlax (Thick Fat, Leftovers) -Belly Drum -Double Edge -Earthquake -Selfdestruct Vaporeon (Water Absorb, Leftovers) -Acid Armor -Baton Pass -Wish -Surf Medicham (Pure Power, Choice Band) -Psycho Cut -Brick Break -Thunder Punch -Ice Punch Breloom (Technician, ?) / Breloom (Poison Heal, Toxic Orb) -Spore / Spore -Swords Dance / Substitute -Bullet Seed / Focus Punch -Mach Punch / Mach Punch Togekiss (Life Orb) -Air Slash -Aura Sphere -Hyper Beam -Wish/Psychic Subs: Spiritomb (Pressure, Leftovers) -Nasty Plot -Dark Pulse -Shadow Ball -Will-O-Wisp Lucario (?, ?) -Bulk Up -Stone Edge -Close Combat -Extreme Speed OR Blaziken (Speed Boost) Bulk Up Protect Baton Pass Flare Blitz/Close Combat Note: 2 on the same line are "either-or". *Bronzong and Snorlax both have Speed IVs/DVs or 1 If you can't tell, Bronzong would start by setting up Trick Room, and either fighting with Gyro Ball, or Exploding, to change to Snorlax, who has practically infinite speed for 5 turns, and can get his attack to around 900 with Belly Drum. Alternately, Bronzong could set up trick room, then I could switch out to Vaporeon, and set up Acid Armors, for either Breloom or Medicham. Medicham also has low speed, so I could switch out to him while Trick Room is in effect. Togekiss and Spiritomb are interchangable. Togekiss is just a general sweeper. Hyper Beam + Life Orb + Stab = 292.5 Base Power, coming from nearly 400 Special Attack. Useful for surprise kills on enemies who are setting up, or speedy enemies like Haxorus, while in Trick Room. As you can tell, Bronzong is the backbone of the team, so he has a high Defence and Special Defence investment in EVs, as well as Attack, so he is a mixed tank+physical sweeper. His speed is around the 60 mark, so Gyro Ball is, most of the time, going to be at 150 power. With STAB, thats over 200, with Trick Room, he always attacks first. With attack in the high 200s, he can be surprisingly powerful for a tank. Spiritomb is included pretty much used to force a change, and lobotomise the physical sweepers on the opponents team, and setting up Nasty Plots while the switch out. Lucario is there to set up, and hit hard with a priority attack. Interchangeable with Snorlax, who is hard to set up, but pretty much guarantees 3 easy kills, provided Rotom, Mismagius or Gengar don't come up. I think you could guess what Blaziken is for, Setting up Medicham. Protect every second turn, and Bulk Up when possible. If you switch from Vaporeon to Blaziken, you can get a lot of defensive power going. Edited by Dramz, Mar 30 2011, 11:28 PM.

Getting an impartial judge is easier than getting participants. Don't drop out. Just edit your post now, and remove what you posted. I like the concept of your team, though. Well-structured.

No, I'd prefer to be the judge. I'm more interested in strategy than battling itself. |

Why would you do this though? We're having trouble getting participants that originate from TREZ as it is. Losing one just exacerbates the problem. |

I think you need to lower the size, or expand, and make it multi-forum. It'll be about a year if you want 32 TREZians in the tournament. Random: My team has no legendaries, no pseudo legendaries, no Ubers, and no nothing like that. I've played around with it a lot, and I've only lost twice to someone who doesn't have legendaries, or Garchomp. Edited by Dramz, Mar 30 2011, 11:37 PM.

We're only going for 16. 32 was only if we had enough for such a huge number, which is unlikely. I'm not the one who originated the tournament in the first place, I just wrote the rules. Torch is the one who originated it, and he wants it at TREZ. |

Worst comes to worst, we still have Odin's connections as well as my own. That should get us well over 16. We're still waiting on any other active TREZians to start up. One more week, then we'll consult our contacts. |

If its easy to get to 16 with the connections, then its not too much of a problem if I drop out. I'd still be involved, but as I said, I love strategising more than the actual game itself. |

Alright, we'll see how it goes. Hopefully this could work, because I'm excited. |

Woah, Albon, your Snorlax is really different from most Snorlaxes. O: It'd annoy the hell outta me. Lol. |

The problem is if they bring out a sweeper after Bronzong. Most people try to re-set up, but some will go for someone like Blaziken. Snorlax doesn't have much in the way of defence, so if on the first turn, I use Belly Drum (though in this case, I'd likely go straight for the earthquake), they could go for a high-jump-kick, or something to that effect, and completely kill snorlax, before he can start butchering half the enemy team, before blowing up. |

Most Snorlaxs run Curse, and since Snorlax is a special wall they switch in on something like a -Insert special sweeper here- then they set up a few curses for defense/ attack boosts which make them impossible to kill. Its leftovers restore whatever attack it took off the special sweeper. |
