The Counterpick Tourney - Round 2

Approved by the Tourney Mod team!

The Counterpick Tourney

Introduction:

In Pokemon, we build our teams based on what we think everyone else will be doing. We have know knowledge (usually) of what our opponents will be using to build our team to. 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. For example:

• [3:09pm]Nachos:I pick Heatran
  [3:10pm]twash:I pick Starmie and Flygon
  [3:11pm]Nachos:I pick Tyranitar and Swampert
  [3:13pm]twash:I pick Breloom and Gliscor
  [3:15pm]Nachos:I pick Dragonite and Gengar
  [3:17pm]twash:I pick Vaporeon and Metagross
  [3:19pm]Nachos:I pick Zapdos

• 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.
• After picking your teams, both people will forward me the conversation. (Don't worry. I have a huge PM box)
• If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

General Tournament Rules:

• General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
• This is a single-battle, 4th generation OU tournament.
• The banlists for this tournament are the same as for the ladders of the Smogon University server of Pokemon Online.
• There will be a two and a half week time limit time for each round of the tournament. (Extensions for active members who simply cannot get together are OK) When signing up for the tournament, keep this in mind, as I will not hesitate to remove inactive players at the end of rounds or flip coins.
• Only sign up if you plan on being active through the whole tournament, as well as being in contact with your opponent.

Battle Rules:

• Evasion Clause
• Sleep Clause
• OHKO Clause
• Self-KO Clause
• Species Clause

[SlimMan]

Question: How good is The Wolf?

Let's hope the answer is "not very good", eh? jk

Well, I'll contact him and we'll get it done.

 

[twash]

My opponent was more proactive than me in getting our match done, and definitely deserves to go through instead of me, as I doubt we will get this done by Friday. Sorry.

 

[sxof]

Since i cannot keep checking the thread every day till the match is completed, i hope my opponent will contact me when a winner's been decided.

 

[polelover44]

Jabba and I have been in contact, but we have discovered a problem which will not allow us to battle - I don't have (and can't download) Pokemon Online, Jabba doesn't have Shoddy/PokeLab.

 

[Gil4]

Don't know if we'll be able to get it done by Friday because of Coolking's state, but I'll PM him right now once more.

 

[TrainerJH]

Iggdrasil hasn't answered my pms =/

 

[Agammemnon]

Aeroblacktyl isn't answering my VMs anymore.
I have no clue of why, but I keep trying to schedule.

 

[Bartman101]

Le diamant rouge, d'accord. Je vais envoyer un message maintenant.

 

[Nails]

Posting to say I should get the first pick because I was proactive and got my match done while they didn't.

And bartman101 is a fat Brit.

Edit: Bluewind vs San/the chaser is probably the best matchup.

 

[WhiteQueen]

I hope you win tito so I can pwn you afterward o.o

 

[Aqualouis]

Le diamant rouge, d'accord. Je vais envoyer un message maintenant.

Lol.

I vm-ed apologies

 

[ZandgaiaX]

Time to get my mojo back then.

 

[Venser]

he's 14, how is that midget size for a 14 year old >_>

 

[Pallas Athena]

In contact with opponent

 

[peng]

I'd guess my opponent has been more active than me since I've found it difficult to get online recently due to unforeseen circumstances, but tbh it doesn't seem as though he's made any effort to contact me whatsoever since we made the teams.

Either way, if we don't get the match done by tomorrow he deserves to go through more than me.

 

[awyp]

What a nice name for my opponent , I'll contact Davy Jones as soon as possible.

 

[zarator]

Lost because of really bad hax, nothing I could do about it

EDIT: and a burn on my check to half you team, but details...

 

[HBK]

Beat zarator 3-0.Got a meaningless crit.gg.

 

[Aeroblacktyl]

Won vs Agammemnon, will be awaiting (smashlloyd20 vs Blazin Kickin Chicken)

 

[Agammemnon]

Just lost against Aeroblacktyl in a GG.
I played miserably, he played well with a nice built team.
GG dude, good luck for the following battleZ !

 

[BKC]

[smashlloyd20]
