For this OMs Secret Santa, you can exchange teams between tiers as gifts! In this year's project, you can request teams built around certain ideas, whether that be specific Pokemon or cores or anything, that you choose in various OM tiers. In return, you will also build teams for other players' requests. If you are interested and would like to participate, follow the signup instructions below. Once the signup deadline has been reached, I will PM you describing the requests that you'll need to build around. When you're finished, you will PM me back the team(s) and I will send it to the receiver(s).
General Rules
- DO NOT sign up if you cannot guarantee you can finish the teams before the team submission deadline.
- I will send you the requests in a PM on the platform of choice, and you will send me the teams you built in the same DM.
- Requests shouldn't be overly memey, and if you are requesting a core remember that a core is made up of 2-3 Pokemon with some synergy.
- You can also request one specific Pokemon, or even ask for a specific playstyle (e.g. Stall featuring [Pokemon]).
- You can also provide a brief description on what the Pokemon or core does.
- If you want, you can ask for an open team.
- You may send or edit your requests at any time, until request signups are over. Once the sign-up deadline is reached, you will no longer be able to edit it.
- It is recommended you SAVE your Form response link to edit your response, however, if needed you can DM me with any changes.
- DO NOT submit a new form response because I will not be able to tell if it is a genuine submission.
- Don't tell anyone what request you have received nor what you have given until the team submission deadline.
- Teams should be submitted to me in the same PMs through individual pokepastes with an optional title and a team description to provide some details about the team and how to use it. Note to NOT include your name in the pokepastes. Nicknames are optional.
- If there are major meta shifts during the teambuilding period that affected your request (e.g. your request contains a banned element or its viability was significantly changed) you should PM me a new request ASAP. If the effect on a set is minor then as a teambuilder keep that in mind and potentially change the set.
- Teams will be sent out on December 25th and posted publicly on January 1st.
- If you have any further questions at any point in the event PM or ping me on Discord (chessking).
Signup Rules
- Sign-up by posting with the format below AND also filling out the Google Form.
- DO NOT INCLUDE your specific request in the signup post! Use the Google Form for that.
- Specify the max number of teams you are willing to build for each tier. If you do not I will interpret it as unlimited and distribute as needed.
- You can only request at most ONE team per tier.
- You cannot request more teams than you are willing to build.
- You are allowed to request for any tiers, including tiers you signed up to build for.
- Sign-ups will mostly follow a first-come-first-served system in case any tiers have more requesters than builders. I will also attempt to balance number of builds per participant where possible. Take this into account as your requests might unfortunately not be included. I will also be tallying builds/requests for each tier for reference.
