LC Minitour V - The Danger Zone (fatty escaped!)

A concussion update in my info tab
(approved by macle, prem, and blarajan)
(Idea taken from FireMage)


This mini-tournament is led by Aaron's Aron and The Unlucky one, and credit to The Unlucky one for coming up with the idea to do this. Thanks for asking me to help! :)


Welcome to the Little Cup Danger Zone! This is a mini-tournament where your teambuilding skills will be put to the test. While it does require some skill, whoever is the best teambuilder will ultimately claim victory. It will be a battle for survival as you are put up against many different obstacles.


How the Danger Zone Works

In the Danger Zone there are two phases: the Night Phase and the Day Phase. The Night Phase lasts for one day, where as the Day Phase lasts for four. There are also zones, and each zone has a battle theme assigned to it. The players are allowed to know the numbers of the zone, but not the theme assigned to them.

When the tournament starts, the first Night Phase will begin. During the Night Phase, every participating player will PM The Unlucky one or I the number of the zone they wish to enter. We will then PM you back the "theme" of that zone so that you can get started on teambuilding as soon as possible (you do not get to pick the theme you will have for that Day Phase). The Night Phase will end a day after it begins, and the Day Phase will then start.

As the Phase changes, we will look at who chose each zone. Everyone who chose Zone 1 will be randomly matched up, and if there is an odd number of players in that zone one of them will get a bye for that Day. Everyone who chose Zone 2 will be randomly matched up as well, and so forth.

At the start of the Day Phase, I will post in this thread the battle match-ups. I will say what the theme of the zones are and who is battling each other. These battles will be one and done, so make it your best! If you lose your battle you are "injured" and have failed to survive the Danger Zone that Day. However, every participant has two lives so that you aren't knocked out by some weird theme. If you lose a second battle you are "killed" and are knocked out of the Danger Zone for good. If you win your battle you have survived the Danger Zone that Day and you don't lose a life.

After each Day we will remove a zone so that players continue to actually be in the same zones as other players. The next Night Phase begins, and everyone who survived the previous days has to PM one of us what zone they want to be in. The themes will be sent back, and during the Day Phase the battles will be posted. This keeps going on until there is only one survivor left.

Who will survive the Danger Zone? This mini-tournament will push your teambuliding skills to the limit!


Activity and Other Rules

In this tournament you need to be active. If you miss you miss your battle during the Day Phase then you are injured or killed and your opponent automatically survives due to forfeit. If you miss the Night Phase we might give you a small extension, but it depends on the circumstances. Being lazy does not work as an excuse.

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways because some of you don't play fair. Do not tell others what the theme of a zone is. If you tell other participants what the theme of a zone is then it takes away the surprise and defeats the purpose of the tournament. Also, try to avoid watching other people's battles or replays. If you do, the theme of the zone would be revealed. However, if you send one of us your replays, after the tournament ends we will post all the ones we received. This way you can still see all of the battles and the different teams people tried, but the tournament won't be ruined while it is going on. The Unlucky one and I are going to randomize the theme each zone has each Day Phase so that you guys can't cheat and tell each other the theme of a zone. This means that you can watch other's battles and replays because it won't spoil anything. You can still send one of us your replays though, and we will post them as the tournament progresses.

Bans and Clauses vary based on what the theme of the zone is. When we send you a PM saying what the theme of the zone is we will tell you what these are.

Zone Themes

Each zone has a theme assigned to it, but which is with which will be randomized each Day Phase. However, you can see the themes and prepare for as many of them as you want. All themes are in Little Cup as well, so no OU, UU, etc.
(Themes are subject to change based on the number of participants.)

  • Current XY LC - This theme will be played as normal LC, just as if you played on the ladder now.
  • Previous XY Meta - This theme selects at random any one of the previous XY metas and uses that as the theme (Tangela/Yanma, Swirlix/Gligar, or Meditite/Murkrow).
  • BW LC - This is played in the Black/White meta, obviously. This means no Fairy-types!
  • DPP LC - Again, just normal LC played in the Diamond/Pearl/Platinum meta.
  • ADV LC - Just normal LC, but played in the Advanced meta. Very appropriate with Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby coming out soon. :)
  • Monotype - All of your Pokemon must share one type in common. It is okay if they have a secondary type as long as one of the types is the shared type.
  • Monocolor - All of the Pokemon on your team must be the same color, which is specified in the Pokedex.
  • LC UU - All Pokemon must be in LC UU, as specified here, so the commonly used Pokemon may not be used.
  • STABmons - A Pokemon can use its normal movepool, as well as any other move of its type. For example, since Chinchou is a Water and Electric-type, it can use its normal movepool (Scald and Volt Switch), but it can also use Bolt Strike and Steam Eruption.
  • Single Pokemon - A team must consist of six of the same Pokemon. For example, a team could contain six Pawniards.
  • LC Doubles - Just like normal OU Doubles, except with LC Pokemon.
  • 1-vs-1 - You will only use one Pokemon vs your opponent's one Pokemon. The item Focus Sash is banned.
  • Choice Items - Every Pokemon on your team must hold a Choice Item. Which Pokemon have the best moves to spam? We'll see!
  • No Recovery - No healing moves, abilities, or items are allowed on your team.
  • No Eviolite - The item Eviolite is banned, and therefore can not be held by any Pokemon. Is it going to be Hyper Offense, or can you make defense work without it?
  • Sketch - Every Pokemon is allowed to have one moveslot be the move Sketch. What this basically means is that every Pokemon can have one move be any move they want. However, the moves Spore, Dark Void, Shell Smash, and Extremespeed are banned if taught through Sketch, but they can still be used if normally learnt.
