SV OU No Johns - Old Threats Are Back!
Welcome to SV OU Old Threats Are Back! This is a Best of 3 Single Elimination SV OU Tournament with a twist! Players will have to use Pokemon that were solid in previous generations of OU, yet are more than underwhelming in SV. The prize for the winner will be a color change on PS! subject to staff's discretion. Each round will last 4 days rather than a full week and no extensions will be granted. Have fun!
