Special thanks to The Under for our banner!​


The Eternian Forces and Pokegyms Leagues are proud to present the Colosseum of Darkness Tournament!

The Tournament Has BEGUN!

--This Wifi Tournament will take place over a weeks time, beginning September 27th and ending on October 4th! If you would like to participate, please read the rules below and make a sign in post!

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

Tournament Format: Multilevel

--For this tournament, you must use a team of pokemon that can be snagged or caught in Pokemon Colosseum or XD Gale of Darkness. The pokemon you use do NOT have to physically come from these games, you may use the pokemon you own in ORAS. The pokemon found in Pokemon Colosseum and in XD Gale of Darkness can be found in the provided links. Evolutions of these pokemon are permitted, even if they were not available in gen 3 (for example, you can use Sylveon, Gliscor, etc...)
--Mega evolutions are NOT permitted for this tournament.
--Battle Style will be SMOGON OU SINGLES, 6v6. Rounds will consist of a single battle.
--Limit of ONE legendary pokemon per team, Lugia and Ho-oh are banned.
--Players are responsible for arranging their own battles. You CANNOT battle the same person twice!
--There will be 5 rounds in this tournament, so in order to be eligible for the prizes you must complete all 5 rounds.
--Team members may not be exchanged until you have completed your rounds.

In the event that a person has completed their rounds and there are others who have not, then that person CAN battle them as long as they haven't battled them previously. The battle results will only affect the person who hasn't completed their rounds.

The ranking is established by most Round Wins. If there is a tie in Round Wins, "Win points" are compared within the Round Win Tier, so someone who won 1 Round with "Win 2-0" (2 "Win points") would be ranked higher than someone who also won 1 Round but with "Win 1-0" (only 1 "Win point").

PRIZES

1:Shiny Impish Eevee with Yawn, Captivate, Wish, and Curse in a Dusk Ball
2:Shiny Calm Meganium with the Leaf Guard ability, Aromatheropy, Giga Drain, Leech Seed and Toxic
3:Shiny Jolly Totodile with the Sheer Force ability, Ice Punch, Crunch and Dragon Dance
4:Shiny Adamant Ho-oh, x/31/31/x/x/31 (I know the person who captured this so I can ask for it to be named if the winner wants)
5: TBA

Participation Prizes:

The 2 pokemon that are not chosen by the winners will be randomly given to 2 players who have completed at least 4 rounds.

Q: Do I have to be a registered Challenger of the Pokegyms and/or Eternian Forces 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: Mega Evolutions are not permitted for this tournament.

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 with best 2 out of 3 rounds.

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 don't see any kind of sign up instructions, so I'm just going to assume that we simply say "I would like to sign up for this tournament."

So most importantly, you have any Pokemon listed, and their evolution if it was in the Third Generation. Moves are the only thing that will be ignored.

The list of pokemon who are able to be captured are listed in the rules so please make sure to look it over. I've ammended the rules to include pokemon from gen 4 onwards who evolve from pokemon that are obtainable in these games (Leafeon, glaceon, Gliscor, etc...)

I'm the only one capable of editing the spreadsheet, hence why I ask that the battle results be posted :3 And yes you are now waiting for a round 3 opponent, Dunk was your Round 2. I do need to know the score though, who won?

Sorry about that, I'll just repost here.

Also, I'm not talking about editing the spreadsheet. What I'm saying is that I can't even view the spreadsheet; I click the link and it says "Access Denied." How am I to keep track of the tournament's progress if I cannot view the spreadsheet?

EDIT: The spreadsheet is working now, thank you! :)

you never battled me yet xD I never caught ya online :/ so technically I have no idea if that battle counts or if that person is even in the tourney xD tbh I havnt caught anyone online to do any battles :/ hopefully do a couple rounds tomorrow

I battled with someone named "Amun-Ra" who had the same Friend Code as you, and whose team followed all the perimeters of the tournament.

EDIT: Even though you battled me not knowing it was me you were battling, I'm not sure if that's fair grounds for claiming a non-battle...

sigh sadly I have to do this which I was seriously really looking forward for this tournament since the Colosseum games were one of my favorite pokemon series games but I have to drop out since I pretty much busy with irl atm as well as I got to get my costume done asap before halloween for a anime convention. Good luck to all the other participates though I still want to see this thread moving!
