The tournament has FINISHED! Thank you all!

--This tournament will take place from Saturday, May 23rd, until Saturday, June 6th. If you would like to participate, please read the tournament rules and info below!

Questions? Read our FAQ in the spoiler below, or ask our Tournament Overseers (Cryùel & Dragontamer44722)

1.Tournament Format: Multilevel Format

2.For this tournament, you pick 2 members of the E4 and 1 Champion from any generation (ex. Lance, Phoebe, Koga) and choose 2 pokemon that each trainer used for a team of 6. (ex. Dragonite, Charizard, Dusknoir, Banette, Muk, Weezing)

3.Mega evolutions are permitted, even if the trainer in question did not use its mega evolved form ingame.

4.The battle style will be Smogon Doubles. The ruleset is found HERE. We will be following Strict Rules (4 vs4 ). However, you do NOT need to battle at lvl 100, lvl 50 is accepted.

5.Players are responsible for finding players to battle, you CANNOT battle the same person twice!

6.There will be 5 rounds in this tournament, so in order to be eligible for the prizes you must complete all 5 rounds.

7.In the event that a person had completed their rounds, but there are others who haven't, then that person CAN battle them as long as they haven't battled them previously. The aftermath of the battle will only affect the person who hasn't completed their rounds.

2: 5iv Shiny Adamant Multiscale Dragonite with Dragon Rush, dragon Dance, Extremespeed, and Aqua Jet
3: 5iv Shiny Timid/Adamant Charizard with egg moves (if you pick this, you get a choice of either nature)

Participation Prizes: (shiny trophy legends, each prize will go to one random person who completed all their rounds but didn't place 1st, 2nd or 3rd)

1:Shiny Hasty 31/31/x/x/x/31 Reshiram
2:Shiny Timid x/31/x/31/x/31 Cobalion

Q: Do I have to be a registered Challenger of the Pokegyms and/or Trinity League to participate?
A: No, anyone is welcome to join our casual Tournaments - registered Challengers, Gym Leaders, and non-League members alike. The more, the merrier~
Of course, we hope that your interactions and battles with League Members will show you how much fun our Leagues are.

Q: Are Mega evolutions allowed?
A: As long as they are not part of the Uber tier, they are permitted. For this tournament, the only banned mega is Mega Salamence.

Q: Do I have to pick e4 members from the same generation?
A: No, you can mix and match, and this applies to their pokemon as well. If an e4 member used a certain pokemon in one generation but not in the other, you can still use it since the E4 member used it.

Q: How many rounds are there, and are there knock-outs?
A: There are 5 rounds in this tournament, though there may be less depending on the number of participants. There are NO knockouts, so each player should be able to battle the same number of times as everyone else. For our tournaments it is one match per round only, NOT 2 out of 3.

Q: How long is a round?
A: It depends. Because players are responsible for finding players to battle, some may finish their rounds more quickly than others.

Q: What do I do after the first round?
A: You can update your first "Signing in" post using the Special Battle Result Form (in the OP on p. 1) and continue to use that post to keep track of your battles. It also helps the tournament overseers keep track of the score.

Q: Can I switch out a member of my team, or an item, a move, etc. after the first round?
A: No, you cannot! The team you enter the first round with (moves, items, etc. included) may not be changed until the tournament is over.

Q: What are the prizes?
A: Each tournament features at least 3 prizes, which will be announced in advance before the tournament begins. There featured prizes of which the 1st place winner may choose one from. The 2nd place winner gets the other featured prize, etc. There are also participation prizes which will be randomly distributed amongst the other participants. (only participants who have played all rounds, or all rounds except for one, can be considered for this prize)

I have some questions...
if i finish my round before all round 1 battles are over, do i have to wait for all battles to be done, or can i start my second round battle? Also, when do we have to post our teams? and finally, do all of the pokemon we use need to have the blue pentagon?

No, you dont have to wait, can move on if your next opponent is free to battle ofc, I think our teams will be hidden till the last match but you will have to be saving each battle to keep record till the tournament is over.

This is Smogon double not VGC so no blue pentagon needed.

Because players are responsible for finding their own battles, people will finish all their rounds at different times. For example, If I battled Cutty as my first battle, that would be my round one battle. If I then battled you, but this was YOUR first battle, it would be MY round 2 but YOUR round 1. Hopefully that makes sense.

You don't need to post your team for this tournament, that way people wont know who to battle and won't take advantage if their team is stronger than yours.

Its recommended that all pokemon be ORAS born, but if you want to use pre gen 6 pokemon, you can, we won't stop you.
