Introduction

Ubers is a tier where all the Pokemon are jacked up on steroids. With offensive titans like Palkia, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, you really just always have to be on your toes. There are no counters. There are almost no safe switch-ins. Every Pokemon will take a truckload switching into something like Choice Specs Kyogre, so you need to constantly be assessing your situation and triaging which Pokemon you need the least. The tier is extremely fast-paced and team-reliant. Unfortunately, it’s not enjoying the popularity it has in the past generation. Fearing the decline of our favorite tier, Hugendugen and I, with the help of Zephyr, have thrown together the ultimate Ubers tournament to try and bring it back to its former glory. Let’s face it: the Ubers ladder on our PO server isn’t the height of skill. This tournament, however, will put you to the test in not only the quality of players, but also teambuilding. We have created a gauntlet of teambuilding restrictions for you to navigate through in order to conquer the metagame in every way possible. Plus it’s a team tournament, and everybody loves those, right?

This team is going to be heavy on teambuilding and Ubers metagame knowledge. IRC is not required by any means, but I encourage you all to come on down to #pokemon on synIRC to help with your Ubers knowledge and discuss the implications of each Pokemon on the metagame!

If that entire team got banned, maybe another team should replace them?

bojangles Dec 27th, 2011 8:17:43 PM

Team Aeotos Arcana was in fact one person and is banned. Hugendugen is editing the OP but they are being replaced by Team DRAGON BALLERS.

Hugendugen Dec 27th, 2011 8:27:02 PM

It came to our attention that all five members of Team Aeotos Arcana shared the same IP. They have therefore been banned and disqualified from the tournament. Replacing them will be Team DRAGON BALLERS, who were the 17th team to confirm all five players. The new matchup will be as follows:

Team DRAGON BALLERS vs Team SLAMZ
A: Scimjara vs Agammemnon
B: Squirrel vs Lady Salamence
C: Moo vs –Manu-
D: KnightoftheWind vs Shnen
E: Mynism vs Zebraiken

I've also replaced the old matchup in the OP
