Hi, the SU team is pleased to announce that we're back with another forum tournament for SV SU. For those unfamiliar, SV SU is an unofficial tier below ZU. It's been nearly a year and a half since our last tour, and the DLC2 metagame has settled down a lot, so we're happy to share this more stabilized iteration of the tier on Smogon. If you have any questions about resources, which are available through the SU Discord link in my signature, or the tier, please reach out to me or my cohosts, Heatranator and Zpice. More resources will be added in the Round 1 post as well.
Specific Rules:
- This is a standard SV SU (Generation 9) tournament
- All bans from higher tiers (Arena Trap, Light Clay, Heat Rock) are transitive to SV SU.
- Pokemon tiered as ZU: Basculin, Brute Bonnet, Charizard, Clawitzer, Froslass, Hitmontop, Jolteon, Lanturn, Magneton, Malamar, Medicham, Mesprit, Minior, Muk, Orthworm, Passimian, Primeape, Regirock, Rotom-Mow, Sableye, Sandslash, Sneasel, Sneasel-Hisui, Snorlax, Spiritomb, Typhlosion, Venusaur, Vikavolt, Weezing, Whimsicott, Zangoose
- Pokemon tiered as SUBL: Beartic, Farigiraf, Glastrier, Oricorio, Oricorio-Pa'u, Tauros-Paldea-Combat, Veluza, Virizion
- Matches are to be played on PS! or Smogtours. Do not submit matches from different servers.
- The tournament format is best of three, double elimination
- If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
- Replays will be required for ALL rounds!
