Comments about the match:
Battle video code for your final 7th match:
Q: Do I have to be a registered Challenger of the Trinity League to participate?
A: No, absolutely anyone and everyone is welcome to join our casual Tournaments - whether they're non-League players or registered Trinity League Challengers, Gym Leaders, etc. The more, the merrier!

Q: Why Triples??
A: Simple, because we're the "Trinity" League - the number 3 excited us! We've actually never hosted a Tournament with Triple Battles before, so we hope this Tournament will invite as many players as possible so that we may all have a thrilling experience with Triple Battles and show much prowess!

Q: For the TRINITY tournament, why isn't Trio [...] included?
A: We wanted to limit the number of choices and stick to some thematic trios we thought of. We hope the array of teams will be diverse enough to offer a fun and diverse battle experience.

Q: Can you give an example of a legal team?
A: Example for a legal team:
  • Team A: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise (opening trio), Gardevoir, Aegislash, Lucario
  • Team B: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi (opening trio), Kangaskhan, Hydreigon, Jellicent
  • Team C: Raikou, Entei, Suicune (opening trio), Mawile, Sceptile, Garchomp


Q: How do I register for the tournament?
A: Simply post "signing in" into the Tournament thread on the day of the tournament (or whenever you join from the starting date onwards). A Thread Overseer will list you on our participant list and you can PM/VM any other signed-in participant to ask if you can battle them as one of your 7 opponents for the tournament. After your battle, simply post your battle results using the given form.

Q: How many rounds are there, and are there knock-outs?
A: There will be up to 7 rounds under Normal Rules for each player. Since each the tournament is Win-based, there are no knock-outs and everyone can choose which opponent to battle for points! For this tournament we do not do best 2 out of 3 in a round, only one round of 6vs6 Triples.

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. Remember to post the battle video code of your final match, so make sure you have space on your 3DS for at least that battle.

Q: I have to leave, but the tournament hasn't ended yet. What do I do?
A: Even if things aren't going well for you in terms of battle results, please try to be available for opponents to battle you until the end of the tournament out of courtesy for the other participants and also for your own enjoyment! You're welcome to seek out registered opponents and ask them if they could help you finish your 7 rounds.

Q: What are the prizes?
A: Each tournament features at least 3 prizes, which will be announced in advance before the tournament begins. There are 3 feature prizes of which the 1st place winner may choose one from. The 2nd place winner gets one of the other feature prizes, while the 3rd place winner will receive the remaining feature prize. Three participation prizes will be randomly distributed amongst the other participants. (only participants who have played at least 5 rounds can be considered for this prize)

I wish to participate as well but a few questions

1. Why is Porygon in the eviolite trio instead of Porygon2? it would make more sense as Porygon2 is the middle evolution of its line just like Dusclops and Chansey

2. In the trios that have pokemon that can M-evolve are we allowed to use them as some of them have notes saying you can and others dont say anything

3. This is mainly for people who go with the harvest trio but is form limited to the sprite used on the trio list? (like Landorus being in Incarnate form in the sprite instead of therian?)

All excellent comments, thanks Twinyoshi!

Porygon was indeed an error - it's been changed to Porygon2. ;)

As for Mega Evolutions/Forms, they're all permitted unless otherwise stated (which is typically for theme purposes). I've edited the OP to make this somewhat clearer.

I'm looking incredibly forward to this Tournament, and I've added all of you to the Challenger Registration in the meantime. Please help spread the word and invite friends to participate~

Um, just wanted to point out, in your edit, you changed Chansey to Porygon2, so now it's Porygon, Porygon2, and Dusclops. Also, you say that the Musketeer trio can use any form, when I think you mean that for the genies.

EDIT: Also, for point of clarity, does the order you send out the opening trio matter?

Oh dear, I've made the Eviolite trio worse, haha. I hope to have fixed it now! :)

As for the order - also an excellent question since it is Triples. It can definitely be switched up. I've only listed them in order of Pokedex number. I see there are a lot of creative gears for team building going on already. :3

Glad to have you both on board. :) I've registered the both of you on the Tourney Sign-up sheet.

By the way, if anyone happens to do a test battle on PS that you could share on the OP with potential participants, that would be great to include so do share with us! :)

That sounds fun - it won't be the team I'm actually using, but I'm fine with making another tourney-legal team and having an exhibition match on Saturday (saving the replay).
 
I'll play for sure. Trying to decide between full on theme or best options to win for the last three pokemon ?

I'd be glad to do a test battle with you on Saturday, Marashu! :) Will likely not be using the team I'll create either but I think it would be fun to practice.

We're all about themes, and I think many of our participants are too. Go for it and make it work! :)

If you're going for theme, I totally recommend doing the Gen1 Trio Trio - Dugtrio, Dodrio, and Magneton. :3
