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. This is done till you choose 9 Pokemon each. For example:
-
Code:
<+Earthworm> rotom-w <@Steamroll> scizor and landorus <+Earthworm> scizor politoed <@Steamroll> tyranitar and rotom-w <+Earthworm> jirachi mew <@Steamroll> jirachi and blissey <+Earthworm> ferrothorn gastrodon <@Steamroll> tangrowth dragonite <+Earthworm> sableye gliscor <@Steamroll> alright I'll snag Gliscor too
- 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.
- If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
