This is a standard GSC PU TOURNAMENT.
Current Viability rankings and sample teams will not be up to date for this new metagame at present, however you may view the most current edition of the viability rankings and the most recent posts in the discussion thread to get started.

This tournament is single elimination.
Rounds will be best-of-3. Players may switch teams in between rounds and battles of the same set.
Matches will be played on Pokémon Showdown.
Replays must be saved and posted in the thread. Any match win reported without replays posted by end of round will get coin flipped.
General tournament rules and regulations can be found here. A scheduling guide can be found here.

The GSC PU tier has recently changed, dropping Raticate, Azumaril, Arbok, Dunsparce, Houndour, and Farfetch’d into the PU tier, and allowing Hitmontop to rise to NU, based on the most recent edition of the GSC NU viability rankings! Due to these drops, Hitmonchan and Furret have also been unbanned. See the recent discussion thread for more information on the process used to determine tier shifts

Signups will close on Sunday, January 25th at 8 pm gmt-6
