THE SRK ELITE 4

The E4 has been decided!

The Bipolar Flamer: @Mood4food77, Master of Fire
The Devil of the Corrupted Lake: @BullDancer, Master of Water
The Crazed, Metallic Pundit: @locoghoul, Master of Magnets Metal
The Lord of Rage: @po pimpus, Master of Dragons
The Champion: ???

Rules: No Legends, Ultra Beasts, or Guardian Deities can be used by any challengers or the E4 (Champ may have one though), Challenger is Team-Locked until they wins all matches or falls in battle, SRK Banlist still applies.

The E4 will officially open after Pokebank.

SRK BATTLE TOWER
Battle Legends: ???

The Tower of the Ascending Dragon stands before you. Ready to Climb?

The rules for this are pretty simple. Anyone can enter and they will be matched up with a random player to fight one 3v3 Pokemon battle. They keep going until they reach seven victories, at which point they will face the Master of the tower.

Rules:
No Legends or Ultra Beasts (unless you’re the Master). Also nothing on the SRK banlist may be used by anybody.
For this mode I’m hard-banning Aegislash (cue the tears).
No Same Pokemon, no same items.
Each person may bring 6 pokemon but can only select 3.

Tournament History:
Gen 7 1st Wi-Fi Tournament- Winner: White Shadow!

Grudge Matches:

Po Pimpus vs Locoghoul: Po Wins 2-0! Yes, really.

\o/

Why is mega salamance banned???

I’m cool with Po but fuck his town, money charging pokemon center thieves!!!

Sho 2 go close the other thread, I’m not a mod anymore. I have a new 3DS and I need to find out what my code is, I’ll be gone (out of town) for 3 months after January.

Can’t wait to dive back into this, it’s just that school and work get in the way now >.>

Oh yeah, and we’re bringing back the E4. Rules to come soon.

Stop it

The short answer is that its ability lets it unleash extremely powerful, hard to resist STAB attacks and it also has enormous speed and respectable bulk. It also has intimidate before mega-evolving which lets it come in on many physical attacks. It’s an extremely powerful mon that has few drawbacks. In fact it’s so strong it gives many Legendary Pokemon nightmares.

The real answer is that 6v6 Singles is broken beyond repair without extreme bans/clauses/house rules to keep people from getting ROFL-stomped by a handful of mons that have no real exploitable weaknesses in a switch-heavy singles format.

Gen V’s Power Creep, U-turn/Volt Switch, and Stealth Rock were the worst things to ever happen to 6v6 Single battles.

I Been out of the loop for a long time >_<

That’s not how you spell Po

While I’m still awake, may I remind you all we have our first Gen 7 tournament on the way?

    http://pokejungle.net/2016/11/13/datamine-reveals-legal-pokemon-vgc-20162017/
  3. No Megas. Z-Cryatals are okay.
  4. This is Prebank. Even if Pokebank is releases before this tournament ends the rules will not change.

And I did mention a Mystery tournament since I’m sure no one wants to touch Showdown just yet. So We’ll be having…
A Fashion Contest.
Signups Start Now!

I don’t like your no mega rule but whatever. I’m in. Give me Po or Mood first round please. I want to cruise into semis

No Megas hm… I really wanted to use Mega Zam but oh well. Back to the drawing board…

Better alert @Neesa and the others in the casual Pokémon thread.
