JUNE TOURNAMENT INFORMATION/DISCUSSION
Hello folks, it's me again. During the month of June, the tournament will be held using the Pokémon Video Game Championship rules. The link to the rules is found here: http://www.pokemonvgc.com/en/regulations.php
There will be a few things changed though.
Ningamer posted these, so I'll put them here.
Pokémon that may not be used
There can only be TWO of these on a team
With that said, now it is time to discuss! Last edited by Ditto616; June 2, 2010 at 03:36:50 PM. |

But no. Uber is uber, double battle or not. If your opponent lets you sure, but in tourneys garchomp is banned. I'd think he'd be even more of a threat in a double battle, since he boast STAB earthquake. |

Why? Well, here are some calculations (thanks to smogon damage calculator) If a swords-dancing Weavile is sent out against Wobbuffet (to, lets say, revenge kill it), what could happen is this: -Night slash by itself will do 61.1% damage (330 HP) to 72.2% damage (390 HP). -If Night slash is critical, then it will do 122.6% damage (662 HP) to 144.4% damage (780 HP). -If a SMART person is using this Weavile set, then that person will set up and swords dance. Thus, the damage will go to this, 121.1% damage (654 HP) to 142.6% damage (770 HP). Wynaut will go down in a single night slash that isn't powered up, so there is no reason to post calculations. Even if Wobbuffet uses Encore to make it so Weavile is stuck using Swords dance, that would only be hurting its cause. It would be forced to switch out or faint after Weavile's encore is finished. This is some reasons why Wobbuffet shouldn't be an Uber, regardless of it being able to counter everything. There are plenty of things that can take Wobbuffet down in a single shot due to its poor defense and Special Defense. So, my recommendation is: DON'T USE WOBBUFFET OR WYNAUT!!! |

And does that mean people don't use stealth rock in this kinda stuff?
Because there is a lot of stuff that can beat Shedinja. Check smogon.com, they have a complete list of things that can take it down near the bottom of the list on its page. But when you think about it, if Shedinja isn't taken out by stage hazards, it could be awesome in doubles. Example: Having your other Pokemon paralyze Shedinja, causing it to not get taken out by burn or poison. (Hint, hint, nudge, nudge) |

And how is it harder to abuse? Because you can have two Pokemon attacking the same one on the same turn, so you're twice(-ish) as likely to hit? |

I got a good question for yas. what if someone uses smeargle and uses darkvoid? how does sleep clause work for it? Cause i just made a smeargle for double battles with this move and was planning to use it. Cause on youtube i watch some videos for the last years world championships and a smeargle uses darkvoid.

I retort to your comment not with a legitimate response, not with a sarcastic answer, but with a Strong Bad-ized other question/SBemail:

And because I have SOME sort of pity for you (y'know, since you're a foo' and all), I will honestly answer your question. Video Game Championship Last edited by LiteTheIronMan; June 10, 2010 at 08:50:38 PM. Reason: you know what, spoiler tags > quote tags |

Ah, didn't see that.
Well, if I find the time tomorrow I'll make the brackets. It'll be a little bit tricky to make a 32-person bracket since we haven't had a tourney as large as this in a while. If I don't post any tomorrow then can someone else (Ala or Ditto or a mod who'd like to help) make even brackets? |

Beyond that, your name isn't in the signup thread- you never signed up to begin with so the brackets show no discrepancies. Last edited by LiteTheIronMan; June 26, 2010 at 08:52:36 PM. |

It's theoretically possible that I might not be able to make this tournament. Turns out I have a bike ride today, and I don't know when it'll end (I suspect around 2 PM EST, or 11 AM PST). If I can't make it at all, then feel free to disqualify me, but if not, then.... yeah. I have every intention on making this tournament.

So in about 2 hours?[/QUOTE]
Well, what we were planning on doing was what Magmaster12 suggested in the brackets thread: Get everyone who signed up in the check-in thread, and then after that's done, form the brackets, taking all the no-shows into account. |
