Oh my goodness, I feel so bad about that freeze in round 1. I think it could have gone either way until that point. But that is part of the game, I suppose, and considering I had spent so long trying to paralyze all the things only for them to be cured...ah well. I was glad when Togekiss was gone early in round two and I think both games were really good (and fun).

Also, The Hugger and I wanna hug :( otp

Wolfolotl victory!

That last battle was really intense, holy crap
If I might've made some better choices I might've beat Wolf in the second or third match
Also I'd like to thank Queen Bee for holding out so well in the third match, even if we did lose

edit: I fucking hate spelling your username, I keep typoing it >:l

[GlitchedGhost]

CUTE <3

[Wolfolotl]

yeah these matches were really intense! it felt a lot fairer than my matches with Fluffi haha

I'd like to thank Bushel for not being absolute crap like I thought they'd be, Snek Snek for being an all-around trooper, Alexandrite for being Best Scary-Looking But Not Overall Gamechanging Mom, Pearl for being strong in the real way, and Talos of LEGEND for being fuckin badass

no thanks for Deer God, though.

Best Scary-Looking But Not Overall Gamechanging Mom

I can't decide if this is an award a mom would really want.

[Xirix]

Oh man, stuff happened.



Round 1 : http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-262881493

Kuupa wins

Round 2 : http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-262888294

Kuupa wins

Round 3 : http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-262894579

(Unofficial fun match) Xirix wins

Damn those games were close, I hate that primeape, I hate that primeape, I hate that primeape.

[Kuupa]

Also, shoutouts to Delibird for putting in a lot more work than I thought it would.

E: Also, I guess I should clarify the Butterfree switch-in from the second round. For some reason I thought Vivi outsped Primeape, so I sacked Butterfree for a free switch-in to Maractus so I could sucker punch

[pholtos]

Forgot to mention this round'll probably end on the 29th.

[Compound Fraxure]

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-262916132 0-1
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-262920056 0-2

Minnakht won.

Good games. I now have a newfound respect/hatred for Swoobat.

[Minnakht]

Hey, at least you haven't seen the Alphabetmons version where it gets Shell Smash.

Anyway, yeah, seems I won. Match 1 was a cheap-ish victory, Match 2 was considerably more close. What you could've done, Fraxure, was exploit your immunities a bit more. I kept being somewhat worried clicking Bonemerang, Gunk Shot and the like, because you could've switched Aerodactyl/Gears in to make me do nothing that turn. I am saying you could've played better, but trying to be constructive about it, please do not take it as an insult.

All in all, that Crawdaunt was one of the few things capable of stopping me, since entering it right away before Swoobat had a chance to set up and clicking Knock Off would've hurt. It didn't, and it led to me winning, so I should be happy.

Also, I played kind of badly in that second match, but... I wanted to give some sort of team show for viewer pleasure, or at least satisfaction of curiosity. I didn't need to send out Demon Eater when I did.

Zylgrox Odyssey vs Picochilla

Round 1:

1-0

Round 2:

1-1

Round 3:

2-1

In which I get lucky repeatedly. Encore wearing off just in time in the first match, that Scald burn in the third match, like everything else in the third match... Frankly I probably did not deserve that victory but hey I'll take it.

[Picochilla]

What... weird matches indeed.

Round 1 a stupidly weakness misplay of me because i thought again that Bug is weak aganist Poision (its actually the other way around) and just encored pretty much myself into death.

Round 2 is a stupidy of mirroring where Zyg makes the dumb mistake and gave me 2 free Attack Boosts.

And Round 3 was pretty mich yoyo-ing all around around

Was a worthy loss at least

[pholtos]

"lol pholtos ur boring" what's this suppose to mean pico

Also poison hits super effective on bugs but I might've misunderstood what you said.

[Picochilla]

"lol pholtos ur boring" what's this suppose to mean pico

the first thing: Because u used twice a chestnaught with spiky shield.

2. no its the opposide.

Movesets won't be altered between rounds plus were made by seddy. Don't blame me for the movesets.

I did actually misunderstand about bugs and poison a bit, poison just doesn't get hurt much by bugs. (I just looked this up again, trust me I'm not wrong.)

Every instance of a mon has the same setup actually. So all the Chesnaughts have the same set, all the Malamars have the same set, etc.
And blame sedron for the Spiky Shield Chesnaught, he's the one who made the sets.

2. no its the opposide.

Bug's not super-effective against Poison either, it's not-very-effective both ways. I believe it was super-effective both ways in gen 1 though?

e: Wait no Bug doesn't resist Poison what am I even saying, brb seppuku

I'm confused. Is something wrong with the Chesnaught set?

Not really, Pico just thinks it's boring. I mean I was kinda hurting for an offensive Grass move in that third match but that's nothing against the set really.

[sedron]

Ah, okay. Yeah, Chesnaught suffers from a slight case of 4MSS. I wanted to have as many varied sets as possible and to use a good variety of competitive moves. Since I figured Spikers would be less common than offensive grass types, and Spiky Shield wouldn't find a home anywhere else, I made the Chesnaught set a good deal more defensively oriented.

[pholtos]

Gonna go ahead and restate that if you guys think something should change about a pokemon, level or moveset wise, or if you think something is broken or what have you, pm sedron about it and go from there. Since this is the first instance of making movesets there may be something wrong or broken about a moveset or something.

[pholtos]

Also like last tourney, from now on anyone in the upper bracket gets every other round off starting with round 3.
