I like this tier so far. To be so limited, it can be very balanced at times. The only birdlike and humanoid rule is pretty interesting as well. It's not one of my favorites, but it sure is fun!

November: Thankless Thanksgiving
It's basically the first Seasonal with scaled levels and new Gen 6 mons. No wacky mechanics this time!

Christmas Charade
The current Seasonal Ladder, December, is Christmas Charade. Every Pokémon has the move Present, which has a random effect giving a volatile status or a very powerful normal or ice attack. Additionally, there's hail throughout the battle. The Pokémon are either Ice-types or Pokémon christmas themed.

raichu, nidoqueen, nidoking, clefable, wigglytuff, rapidash, dewgong, cloyster, exeggutor, starmie, jynx, lapras, snorlax, articuno, azumarill, granbull, delibird, stantler, miltank, blissey, swalot, lunatone, castform, chimecho, glalie, walrein, regice, jirachi, bronzong, chatot, abomasnow, weavile, togekiss, glaceon, probopass, froslass, rotom-frost, uxie, mesprit, azelf, victini, vanilluxe, sawsbuck, beartic, cryogonal, chandelure, gardevoir, amaura, aurorus, bergmite, avalugg
 
From looking at the Pokemon, the only Pokemon I see that can be a little overwhelming is Victini do to the vast amount of Ice types. Avalugg might be good to take at least 1 V-Create but I fear it won't be enough for the Ice type defenses at least. Weavile can come in and easily Pursuit trap Victini, assuming you have one or you can be lucky to get a Starmie or even a Chandelure.
 
Do the Present effects Fire and Poisoned Apple actually do anything? Every time I've seen them be called, they end up failing. Or maybe I've just been unlucky?

They should attempt to set up a status, they fail if there's already a status. Will check it, though.

Winter's Wont
The current Seasonal Ladder, January, is Winter's Wont. Every Pokémon is fifty level highers, the battlers are doubles, the typechart is that of inverse, and there's hail throughout the battle. The Pokémon are winter themed.

So, I'm back, and since Theorymon OU is kill, Seasonals are back with me!

[Seasonal] Strikes Back
After a long hiatus, here we are again with a new Seasonal! The current Seasonal Ladder, November, is Seasonal Strikes Back (game on words with its prefix). We aren't celebrating a specific holiday (take that, thanksgiving), we are rather celebrating the comeback of the most awesome format Pokémon Showdown has ever seen! From this month on, we'll have seasonals back, as usual centered around a theme, but this time we'll choose them more freely than centering it on the current northern hemisphere holidays.

To celebrate the comeback, this seasonal is more or less a mash up old seasonals with a new things to spice it up: the format is triples, which has never been used in Seasonal and, well, it's kinda new to PS. Your team may consist of any Pokémon at all, once again we're using your user id to determine it, only this time you aren't locked into it-the teams will change every day as now I'm using the day of the month on the algorithm. You may remember Spring Forward, well, once again Pokémon may drink too much and enter battle drunk. Additionally, all of your Pokémon will have the Present move all seasonal players know and love: random effects and hilarity ensues after using it! Also, when a Pokémon faints, you will get a lovely haiku. Last but not least, the type of your moves may change randomly throughout the battle. Missed that? Of course you did!

All in all, a nice combination of wacky mechanics that makes sure you will have fun playing this. Or not. Maybe you will rage. Who knows? You can only know trying it!
