The Counterpick Tourney

How to Join or Host a Tournament

Introduction:

In Pokemon, we build our teams based on what we think everyone else will be doing. We have no knowledge (usually) of what our opponents will be using to build our team around. For this tournament, your picks will be based on what your opponent chooses to use.

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.

RBG, I underwent a name change and have changed from Pareiolia to what you see on the left, would you mind changing it to prevent confusion?

Activity post I guess. I got my PO working again so I shouldn't have that much trouble trying to get a match done, but when you haven't seen your opponent on PO or IRC it's a bit different...
