Counterpicking rules
- Both you and your opponent will have to go through picking teams.
- The person listed first in the matchup will choose the first Pokemon. The second person will then choose 2 Pokemon. Once this is done, the first person picks 2. For example:
-
Code:
[3:09pm]Nachos:I pick Heatran [3:10pm]twash:I pick Starmie and Flygon [3:11pm]Nachos:I pick Tyranitar and Swampert [3:13pm]twash:I pick Breloom and Gliscor [3:15pm]Nachos:I pick Dragonite and Gengar [3:17pm]twash:I pick Vaporeon and Metagross [3:19pm]Nachos:I pick Zapdos - This can be done either via Smogon PM or IRC.
- Both people can pick the same Pokemon.
- You need to name which specific Rotom forme you plan on using, if you want to use it.
- You don't need to tell your opponent your EVs, Items, Nature, Moves, ect.
- After picking your teams, both people will forward me the conversation. (Don't worry. I have a huge PM box)
- If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
