Since Kitt Geekazaru has not yet sent in his Pokemon, and it is highly unlikely that jirachiuser1 and Kitt Geekazaru will be able to schedule and play in 1.5 hrs, I'm going give jirachiuser1 the activity win a bit early and post finals now.

FINALS

jirachiuser1 (Charizard/Gengar/Infernape) vs Clone (Metagross/Charizard/Kyurem-B)
Bunerv2 (Charizard/Sableye/Rotom-W) vs Clone (Metagross/Charizard/Kyurem-B)
jirachiuser1 (Charizard/Gengar/Infernape) vs Bunerv2 (Charizard/Sableye/Rotom-W)


The finals will be a Round Robin with 3 people. Be sure to send in two Pokemon this time and specify which player is using that Pokemon. In the event that each player has 1 win and 1 loss after the three games have been played, another Round Robin will be played until there is a clear winner. The tiebreaker round-robins will be in the same format (send in some Pokemon, choose which opponent's to face), but will have some kind of twist to it.

Since this is finals, please post replays/logs. I'd also love to hear what kind of innovative sets everyone used in previous rounds :]

The deadline is March 17th, 11:59 PM GMT -4.

pm is in. neutral luck to u two lol. rly want a clean game for these finals ;]

anyways might as well post my sets i used because wynaut

rip gliscor ;] (Metagross) @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 248 HP / 212 Atk / 8 SpA / 40 Spe
Naughty Nature
- Ice Punch
- Icy Wind
- Magnet Rise
- Bullet Punch

speed evs outspeed -1 gliscor with some number of speed idr. magnet rise + shuca to 100% win vs band. icy wind + ice punch was used to beat yache variants that tried to get cheeky. also the speed drop helped me magnet rise in time to beat cb based on the damage dealt to me. bp just because lol. also does that last 15% if needed.

rip tran ;] (Kyurem-Black) @ Babiri Berry
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 80 HP / 136 SpA / 80 SpD / 212 Spe
Calm Nature
- Earth Power
- Fusion Bolt
- Light Screen
- Protect

had more playing room with this one. e power because obvious. spatk evs always ohko 0/0 (aka scarf) variants. speed outspeeds max timid in case of balloon. tect just because. light screen + babiri to tank a fc and light screen was a filler anyways, tho it always won 1v1 vs scarf. fusion bolt because ballon was a thing. evs give kyubes as much special bulk as possible (i think it ate up 3 non specs fcs lmao).

cloos and burnerv can expect the same level of innovation from me in the finals ;]

jirachiuser1

pm'd as well : )

I only (unfortunately) got to do one game vs Ger, and that was my Charizard vs his Clefable.

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 232 HP / 252 SpA / 24 Spe
Modest Nature
- Blast Burn
- Mimic
- Rest
-

I have a pretty good chance of OHKOing even 252 Hp / 252 Sdef Clefable with Sun boosted Blast Burn. Basically if he doesn't use the max sdef set, he loses. Mimic is for stealing Calm Mind if I miss Blast Burn the first time. Other sets like Cosmic Power just don't beat me, since even at +1 Sdef, I do more damage than they can recover off, even with the wasted turn.

EVs are pretty standard, lets me outspeed all Clefable variants and max Spa Modest for the BLAST BURN damage!!

hope you're both ready to lose
jk good luck friends : )

Results

1st Place: jirachiuser1

2nd Place: Burnerv2

3rd Place: Clone™​

Congratulations to our winners! Thanks to everyone for participating and making this tournament smooth to run. I will edit in and PM banners once they are finished.

Also here are the sets that Burnerv ran the previous rounds if you're interested. Thanks to Burnerv and everyone else for sharing some really cool and innovative sets!
Round 1 - Rotom W vs. Lucario

Rotom-W
Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 200 HP, 116 Def, 196 Sp. Def
Moves: Thunderbolt, Surf, Dark Pulse, Hydro Pump

Reasoning: The main idea behind this set was to be able to take Aura Sphere well enough to 2HKO with bolt or get hit with Close Combat and 1HKO.
My opponent tried to use HP Grass and it worked out well for me.

Round 2 - Sableye vs. Gyarados

Sableye
Item: Sablenite (Mega Stone)
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP, 56 Def, 200 Sp. Def
Moves: Sunny Day, Tickle, Pain Split, Thunder Punch

Reasoning: This one's a little more intricate. Regular Sableye would of been Sp. Def crushed or overpowered with one D-Dance. If Substitute or Lum was used, I'd be in trouble. If Mental Herb or choice item was used, then Taunt would be null and void. So this one took a lot of testing and planning.
Used the Sun to reduce water-stabs on both sides and balance out defenses since it would of been a coin toss any other way.

Pain split instead of recover just in case he invested in HP so I could stay healthy. Tickle to reduce both attack and defense in case of mega D-Dance instead of w-o-w in case of a lum berry.

oh yeah i got rekt lol. gg tho =]

rip rotom ;] (Metagross) @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Zen Headbutt
- Protect
- Substitute
- Hone Claws

expected either specs hydro or a bulky wisp set (since i forgot rotom learned foul play lmao) so it was a sub hone claws set that would beat any variant other than the one i faced. enough speed to outspeed 44 speed rotom pre evo and enough after megaing to outspeed max timid afterwards. rest is pretty self explanatory. protect was there to scout moves but it was kinda redundant with the speed tbh lol.
