Welcome to the National Dex 35 Pokes Fall Open!
Hosted by ibleachyourskin Ember Celica and Optidox
Welcome to the inaugural National Dex 35 Pokes Smogon Tournament Circuit!! This Fall Open will consist of the July, August, and September metagames! Each open tournament will feature 3 of the most recent 35 Pokes metagames, and you'll earn points corresponding to how you place in each tournaments!
Tournament Rules:
- This tournament will be played as a multi-meta bo3, similar to the 2025 End of Year Invitational tour that bigshoota won
- The first metagame to be played in a Bo3 will rotate each round, beginning with the July 2026 metagame.
- The order of how the Bo3 will be played is as follows: Starting Meta, Loser's Pick, Unplayed Meta. For example, if I am playing Ember Celica in round 1, we will start by playing eachother in Ju;y 2026. Once Cassie (Ember Celica) loses, he then chooses September 26 as our g2 meta, and then if g3 is necessary it will be played in the August 26 meta. If he'd chosen August 26 as our g2 meta, then g3 would be played in September 26.
- Replays are required
- Simultaneous Double Elimination (X-2 Swiss -> top cut playoffs)
- All games must be played on Pokemon Showdown using an approved official challenge code, which can be found in this browser extension, or on the Generations Showdown Server which has teambuilder and full format support for all past 35 Pokes metas. Playing on the Generations Showdown Server or Smogtours (with an official challenge code) is strongly recommended in order to avoid replay or game data loss if an exceptional circumstance occurs during a match.
- All standard Smogon tournament rules and general guidelines apply
