CAP 18 - Playtest Tournament
Hosted by Birkal, Lady Salamence, and Qwilphish - Huge thanks to the TDs for approving this


Introduction:

The CAP 18 Playtest has officially begun! You can find some more information on it here if you're curious about the CAP18 Volkraken Playtest ladder. To kick it off, we're going to be hosting a playtest tournament over the next few weeks. This is XY OU + CAP18, so it's a pretty similar metagame to what you're used to, just with one extra addition: Volkraken. It's a Water / Fire Pokemon with a concept to unite Offensive Defog Latias and Swords Dance Lucario in a core. It's a heavy hitter with its 135 SpA and strong STAB options in Fire Blast and Hydro Pump.


Tournament Rules:

Specific Rules:
  • Since CAP18 started in late February, XY OU was a much different metagame. We create our Pokemon a snapshot at the metagame at that time. As a result, Swagplay is unbanned for the duration of the tournament.
  • Volkraken is available for this tournament in addition to typical Pokemon allowed within XY OU. It is not necessary to put on your team; you could win this tournament without ever putting CAP18 on your team.
  • All other CAPs are banned for this tournament. This isn't the CAP metagame, it is simply the current CAP + current OU.
  • Best of One (Bo1) Tournament.

General Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
  • Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing pokémon.
  • Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
  • OHKO Clause: Players cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokémon's movesets.
  • Battle Timeout: If a player exhausts the timer, he/she loses.
  • Wifi Battle Clause. Team preview must be enabled.
  • All matches must be played on Pokemon Showdown!, since Volkraken is not implemented anywhere else.
  • It is advised that you start building your teams during sign-ups to make the tournament run smoother.
  • Let me know if you have any questions!

Oh sorry, this is a Best of One tournament. You just need to play one match. I'll edit that into the OP.
