OMs Secret Santa 2025 For this OMs Secret Santa, 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 DM you describing the requests that you'll need to build around. When you're finished, you will DM 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.
- I will send you the requests in your DM, and you will send me the teams you built in the same DM.
- Requests shouldn't be overly memey and unviable, 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, request to not include certain 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.
- Don't tell anyone what request you have received nor what you have given until the team submission deadline.
- Please finish the teams before the team submission deadline.
- Teams should be submitted to me in the same DMs 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 DM 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 DM me (Discord: chessking).
Signup Rules
- Sign-up by posting the tiers you build with the format below AND also sending me a DM containing your requests (either Smogon or Discord works).
- DO NOT INCLUDE your requests in the signup post below!
- 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 1 team per tier, and at most 3 teams in total.
- 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.
- Valid tiers to request are all of the OMCL tiers.
- Sign-ups will follow a first-come-first-served system in case any tiers have more requesters than builders. Take this into account as your requests might unfortunately not be included (particularly for the non-PL tiers). I will also be tallying builds/requests for each tier for reference.
- You can specify in your requests DM any backup requests/builds! I may also reach out around 2 days before the sign-up deadline to prompt adjustments.
