bracket: http://challonge.com/BSSCS4PS

Specific Rules
  • This is a standard SM Battle Spot Singles Tournament.
  • The tournament will be Best of Three, Single Elimination. Starting Top 4 it will be best of 5.
  • Players may change their teams during the Best of Three.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown/SmogTours
  • Replays must be saved and POSTED. Matches without a replay will not count as completed. If you don't want to risk forgetting to save replays play on Smogtours as it's automatic there.
  • In an event of a timeout, the player who times out will lose that game unless the opponent grants a rematch. This holds true even for a disconnect, due to being unable to know which three Pokemon have been selected at team preview. Consequently, players do not need to send in their teams to a TD.
Standard Rules
  • Matches will be played in the Singles format
  • Pokemon above level 50 will be brought down to level 50. Pokemon below level 50 stay as is.
  • Players pick 3 of their 6 Pokemon at team preview.
  • Symbol Clause: A Pokemon cannot have a set that can only be obtained from Generation 5 games and before (i.e. no <6th gen exclusive tutor/event moves or abilities).
  • Species Clause: No two Pokemon in the same team can have the same National Pokedex number.
  • Item Clause: No two Pokemon in the same team can hold the same item.
The following Pokémon are banned (all forms):
  • Mewtwo
  • Mew
  • Lugia
  • Ho-oh
  • Celebi
  • Kyogre
  • Groudon
  • Rayquaza
  • Jirachi
  • Deoxys
  • Dialga
  • Palkia
  • Giratina
  • Phione
  • Manaphy
  • Darkrai
  • Shaymin
  • Arceus
  • Victini
  • Reshiram
  • Zekrom
  • Kyurem
  • Keldeo
  • Meloetta
  • Genesect
  • Xerneas
  • Yveltal
  • Zygarde
  • Diancie
  • Hoopa

  • Necrozma
  • Magearna
  • Marshadow

  • Greninja (Battle Bond form only)

Simulator Glitches: Any battle mechanics not properly implemented in the simulator used for a tournament battle are fair game, unless explicitly banned by that tournament's rules. Illegal movesets that are not restricted by the simulator fall into this category as well. However, this does not include faulty tier scripts; for example, if there was a bug in the BW OU tier script that allowed you to use Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team, taking advantage of this would result in disqualification in that battle. If a game breaking glitch is discovered, we will make a blanket tournament ban on that glitch via an announcement in the Tournaments forum until it is fixed.

Ghosting: The player in a tournament battle should be the one making their own decisions. Do not tell a player what move to make in a tournament battle (i.e. do not "ghost" them), and do not make your moves based on another person's suggestions. If we are made aware that someone playing a tournament battle is making some of their moves based mainly on the suggestions of someone else, punishments may be handed out to both parties involved.

Identity: Pretending to be another player in relation to a tournament battle is strictly prohibited. Do not try to impersonate or play as another player. This applies to the use of alts as well. Any player who breaks this will be disqualified.

Rule Breaking: If a player breaks a rule during a battle, they are disqualified from that particular battle. If it was a single battle in a series, they will still have the opportunity to play the rest of the series.

Draws: If a battle ends in a draw in an elimination tournament or another tournament format that is unable to handle draws, there should be a rematch between the players with the option for both players to change teams.

Forfeiting: A player may forfeit their battle during or after the battle, as long as the result has not been confirmed by the host. If a player forfeits before a battle commences in the first round of a tournament, they are eligible for substitution if appropriate. We highly recommend that you do not forfeit your tournament battles just because you got lucky, but we do not enforce this.

Host / Tournament Director Decisions: The host may make a judgment call on the outcome of a battle with a disputed result, even if one player has broken the rules. If you believe the host has made an unjust decision, you may inform the Tournament Director responsible for the tournament of the situation and request that they make a final call on it.

Sportsmanship: If a player displays exceedingly poor sportsmanship before, during, or after a tournament battle, they may be disqualified or otherwise punished.


This round ends Wednesday, June 14 11:59PM EST.

chemcoop vs nvakna 60/40 - this happened last season iirc but nvakna has interesting teams so I wouldn't rule out an upset tbh. chem is great though
Silverwhiteblue vs greilmercenary9 35/65 - plays the tier on cart vs someone who doesnt rlly play bss much and kinda lucked last round
iFlying vs blinkboy 25/75 - 2 free rounds vs former esteemed Side-Pup. the choice is easy go blink :D
[ Donald Trump vgc vs parivard ] vs Jhon 35/65 - Jhon is a phenomenal BSS player but parivard is not as bad as some people pretend he is so maybe oo
Psynergy vs Moose And Goose 55/45 - Psynergy had a pretty great set vs Kami last week but idk I feel like this set will be really close despite Moose not being a huge name
Mishimono vs Demantoid 48/52 - set of the round if not for my own if I'm allowed to say that. Definitely one I want to watch and I really don't know who to pull for. I think Demantoid is slightly better at BSS, though.
Corazan.. vs greenDarkness 40/60 - both seem formidable but I find myself pulling for gD more after watching both sets.

Silverwhiteblue vs greilmercenary9 - gotta pick the cart player here. More experience = higher chance to win
iFlying vs blinkboy - agree with Nat here. Two free rounds vs. someone who beat a S3 semifinalist in R2. Gotta pick the player who has proven themselves already.
[ Donald Trump vgc vs parivard ] vs Jhon - Jhon senpai always has interesting teams, and understands the meta well enough that I have to pick him here.
Natalie. vs cant say - I think we all saw what happens when you pick Nat to lose in S2. This is gonna be a great set between two experienced BattleSpot and tour players, but I think Nat pulls it out in 3. Hopefully we get this set on stream!
Psynergy vs Moose And Goose - I expect this to be a close set that goes to 3 games, but I think Psynergy prevails. Never count the Chosen One out.
Mishimono vs Demantoid - team mish mish is finally gonna pull a W against Demantoid the "singles expert"
Corazan.. vs greenDarkness - gD is friends with Lance aka 7thGenBatlSpot so I expect him to have some tricks up his sleeve.

Requesting an extension, I'm out of town with no reliable internet access until late Sunday but Moose and Goose won't be able to play from Sunday until late Friday at best. Our timezones are easy to work with though (GMT -7 vs GMT -5) so we should easily be able to finish this by next Saturday at the latest.
