Alright, I figured out how to automate the process, so there is no more waiting!

Please send your teams to @Spiritual Mask Salesman. Keep in mind the type restrictions. Any disallowed Pokemon participating in a given match will be treated as a forfeit. We do not expect participants to be checking teams mid-match, so any breaking of rules will likely be determined afterwards.

ALLOWED POKEMON: Any Pokémon that is at least partially Grass OR Water OR Fairy OR Ground.

BANNED POKEMON: Smogon NatDex Ubers, any Pokémon that is not at least partially Grass/Water/Fairy/Ground.


The Preliminary Matches will be a Round Robin, where everyone will get a chance to face everyone else! The Top Eight Players will advance to the final double-elimination round.

In the interest of efficacy, I will be posting all round information at once. When you post your replay in this thread, make sure you mention your opponent as well as what round it is for, for ease of navigation and management.

Without further ado... Here! We! Go!

EDIT 4/24/21: If you wish to use the index list method for organization, please ALSO post in the thread with the matches. It keeps the thread going and makes finding new matches significantly easier.

nooo they just banned magearna :v
I'm assuming teams that had her have to change it now?
Nope, the tournament had already started before that point.

For efficacy's sake, we'll need to do "Custom Game."

Teams will be allowed editing after the preliminary round, so I may update the restrictions then.

EDIT: I just tested it, and Showdown is till allowing Magearna on NatDex teams. We'll see how this unfolds.

how on earth did your garchomp manage to 2-shot my carracosta with earthquake? Even with a life orb that seems impossible, especially since i had aurora veil active.
Does it have EVs on HP or Def?

252 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Carracosta through Reflect: 165-196 (57 - 67.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after hail damage

You also had lowered Def for the second hit. So honestly even if you had defensive spread it would probably kill.

Oh yeah, I forgot water doesn’t resist ground.
Though I was already below half health during the second turn, the lowered defense made no difference.
