Tapu that will be used in team: Place me as a Fini since its lacking people I believe.

Also side note I'm confused about the rules, could you clarify what the no duplicate Tapu's are? Like each person on say for example Team Tapu Koko has to use a Tapu Koko or do you mean there is only one Tapu Koko to be distributed to the entirety of Team Tapu Koko?

I had a few people were asking about if they can use another tapu on there team with the tapu of there choice which is not correct, so basically since you choosed team tapu fini that is the only tapu be used in your team which you can't have two tapu fini's in your team either. does that make any sense?

Its still weird for me. I suppose I'll make a scenario.

So say its Round 1. I bring this team http://pokepast.es/4294966986 Because its Round 1 and I am using Tapu Fini, the rest of my team cannot use that specific Tapu Fini. But they can use a Choice Specs or a Tapu Z Fini?

Or scenario 2 same team as above. But because I am using a Tapu Fini the rest of my team cannot use any Tapu Fini?

I think I understand where you're coming from. I don't think the movesets matter in this case. As long as everyone on your team is running the Tapu they support, they can run any moveset they wish. What Fairy means by the duplicate Tapu rule is that you're not allowed to use more than one Tapu on your team; the only Tapu you're allowed to use is the one whose team you're sided on (in your case, Fini).

Here, I'll use an example. I was initially planning to run both Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu on my team (as one of the teams I often use have both). But since I am sided with Lele for this tourney, I can only use Lele and no other Tapu. I hope this clears up some things.

That makes sense since the teams are based around specific Tapu's acting as mascots. However in the second part of the rule its saying you can't make duplicate Tapus for the Tournament for your team and I'm unsure if the team is the six mons you bring or the other people using the same Tapu as you. I'm pretty sure its not like I've got X Tapu Fini let me clone it and use both of the at the same time since that's breaking the species clause, so I'm wondering if everyone on Team Tapu Fini can use their own Tapu Fini's but each set has to be different from your teammates' Tapu Fini.

That is correct :) I hope he understands you >.> Because I'm running out of ideas to explain lol

@morokeki: your making it sound more difficult then it is when I mean duplicate if you have your tapu team you can't use two tapu finis in your team of 6. So having tapu fini,tapu fini, kingdra,kabuto,omstar,Lapras would be against rules...Also your team you posted is fine btw its not a duplicate since your using one tapu fini

accepted at the last minute enjoy the tournament XD


anyway was gunna do rounds but decided at the end i rather have you guys post all battles and i just tally up all the wins and all the loses however rules still apply you must challenge all opposing team members once so if your in tapu koko for example you battle all participates that are in all three other teams wins give your team 3 points and if you lose it gives your team 1 point deduction

Can teams only fight the members of the other teams once as a team, or once as a player?

Your team tapu lele so you fight all opposing members once in team bulu,team fini, and team koko. Does that make sense? if you win you get 3 points to your team which each loss is 1 point deduction so you have 12 opponents all together...

Round#: 1
W/L/D: I lost; 0-5
Comments: Ugh, the moment I lost my utility mon to that one combo, I was forced to face the wrath of the real threat. x_x; I should've played this more carefully. Good game, though.

Team Opponent: Crazy0n389 (Koko)
Round#: 2
W/L/D: I won; 6-0
Comments: I actually like this guy's team. xP Although unfortunately, it was too vulnerable for toxic stall. I probably didn't need to go with that strategy, but I got a bit wary with certain mons. Good game!

Team Opponent: DJSummers (Bulu)
Round#: 3
W/L/D: I lost; 0-5
Comments: The misses... it's always the misses during my needed crucial moments, 'nuff said. ;w; Good game, otherwise!

Team Opponent: Morokei (Fini)
Round#: 4
W/L/D: I lost; 0-2
Comments: I somehow managed to pull off a few surprises, but once my Lele got paralyzed, I couldn't deal with his mega efficiently. Though I do feel content that I was able to get this battle pretty close. ^^ Very good game!

Team Opponent: Archstaraptor (Bulu)
Round#: 5
W/L/D: I won; 4-0
Comments: His team had me worried for a moment because of two certain threats. But thankfully, I learned from my mistake in my battle against Sito for one of those threats. Once I managed to take out all his physical attackers, he had a hard time getting through a wall I still had. Lots of intense thinking going on in this battle. xD Good game!

W/L/D: Win 2 - 0
comments(please don't reveal teams): I had to play around this a bit actually since my team really can't take too many hits. I had what I thought was a great win con but I was forced to play around my walls to whittle his team. GG

Team Opponent: DJ Summers (Team Bulu)
Round#: Round 2
W/L/D: Win 2-0
I was honestly on the ropes on this one, a prediction at the correct time and maybe a miss got me back into the game for the win. GG

Team Opponent: SilverLanayru (Team Lele)
Round#: Round 3
W/L/D: Win 2-0
In the beginning I really couldn't do anything his team was Phatttttt. But I managed to gain an upper hand with a key KO however that soon vanished when he was able to pull of two really amazing and effective lures. After his lures it came down to who had more sacks. GG

Team Opponent: Twinyoshi (Team Koko)
Round#: Round 4
W/L/D: Win 2-0 (I seem to be getting a lot of those 2-0s)
Twin got the lead match up on me and even KOed my switch in that turn with an amazing predict. However his team was weak to my wincon and he knew that but his check to my wincon got played a turn or two early so it took the damage necessary to no longer be a check. GG I kept expecting a certain priority move but it never came.

Team Opponent: Zold (Team Lele)
Round#: 5
WL/D: Win (by forfeit) 4-3
It took some clever maneuvering. Needed Fini's Misty Terrain to set up for the win. Definitely a good game I had to spend a while to figure out the sets.

Team Opponent: Dunkleoestus (Lele)
Round#: 6
W/L/D: Lose 0-5
I was getting beat down in the beginning a bit but I thought I found an opening I needed. Some crits and a miss contributed but to be honest it came down to damage rolls anyway so I'm not sure how much those hax mattered. GG it definitely made me rethink the EV spread of a certain wallbreaker of mine.

Team Opponent: Drasticphase
Round#:7
W/L/D: Win 4-0
Pretty straight forward battle the scouting I did paid off and from there I was able set up a win condition.

Team Opponent: Sito (Koko)
Round#: 8
W/L/D: Lose 0-2
comments: Forgetting a certain mons speed tier let it run through my team, even thought about using a previously proven faster mon to finish it but I goofed, GG
