Welcome to the Ring of Fire Battle Factory Tournament. I am Factory Brain WhyBuffet, and I have created a facility that harkens back to the original Battle Factory found in the far-off Battle Frontier.
The concept is simple: you are given a choice of rental Pokémon, which you use to battle other Trainers who are
also using rental Pokémon. Win your way to the top in order to win the grand prize!
Sign-Up
In order to participate in this Battle Factory Tournament, you must sign up in this tournament thread no later than
Sunday, September 13, at 6:00PM EST.
Once sign-up closes, I will PM all participants with a choice of 6 rental Pokémon. Each participant will then PM me back with their choice of 3 of those 6 rental Pokémon.
Contestants
No contestants at this time.
Rules
Because I do not expect participants to breed their own rental Pokémon (and because I myself do not have the time to do so), this tournament will take place entirely on Pokémon Showdown.
The rental Pokémon have the following aspects preset:
- Nature
- Abilities
- Moveset
- Held Item
The following aspects are free for contestants to manipulate:
- Happiness
- Shininess
- Gender
- EVs/IVs
The format of the tournament will be 3 rounds of swiss rounds, followed by the semi-finals, and finals. If there is an odd number of participants, each swiss round will have an "odd one out" who will receive a pre-determined amount of points.
The swiss round battle will be best of 1, while the semi-finals and finals battles will be best of 3.
During the swiss round battles, the winner of a battle is free to swap one of their Pokémon on hand with one of their opponent's Pokémon. The winner simply PMs his/her opponent with the name of the Pokémon they wish to recieve, along with the full details of the Pokémon they are giving in return. The opponent then PMs the full details of the requested Pokémon to the winner.
The winner is not required to swap Pokémon with his/her opponent.
Schedule
The match-ups for each swiss round will be determined randomly and posted in this section.
The tournament will start on
Monday, September 14, at 9:00AM EST. Trainers have until
Sunday, September 20, at 6:00PM EST to battle their opponent.
If you attempt to arrange a battle with your opponent, and are having difficulties, please PM me. Likewise, if you suspect that your opponent is not using his/her rental Pokémon in a battle, save the Battle Video and PM it to me with your concerns.
