Rules

• Follow all rules listed here.
• Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
• If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
• Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
• If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
• It is recommended to play all games on GenerationsSD as this has all the 35Poke formats included. However, Games can be played on the Pokémon Showdown main server or SmogTours if and only if both players agree. The result between players may be decided in a best-of-one by default.
• Replays are mandatory. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
• Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

I'll be the change dw (first time doing predictions so idek if i'm doing this right)

Ruination Satanices (5) vs (5) Whimsicott Warriors

December 2023: violet river vs RetroDude42 - Retro has been doing better than I expected in this tier, but it's kinda hard not to bold violet river here.

March 2024: Msousa vs jscurf - Msousa is more familiar with this tier I'd say, but jscurf is jscurf so you can never count him out. Close one I'd say

April 2024: GC vs Portobello - GC has been doing great in this tier so far. This match could definitely go either way and I wouldn't be surprised.

February 2025: Shadow079 vs jam - Shadow has been underperforming in this tour despite being a good player. I think he'll just squeak out with the win here though.

April 2025: Ember Celica vs Sagazinha - Dont know how well typhon will fare in this meta. Sag is a good player and beat Shoota W2 so I think he'll take this.

March 2025: Ncstolat vs Tempo di anguria - Bolding better player here.

October 2025: meowscardey vs GravityMonkey - Gonna go with Gravity Monkey here. Don't know too much about opp but Monkey has been playing fairly well so far.

January 2026: fooflybag vs SBPC - A toss up matchup. Could go either way, but will bold foofly here just for the more impressive win record.

35 Perfect(Vision D1): AthenaStrive9 vs Aryecki - Will bold the name I know, though was impressed with Athena in vgc last week.

35 VGC(June 2025): qbking3 vs Amiss_F - I love Qb but this hasn't been his tour unfortunately. Amiss has also been playing great so bolding for them.

Shooting Staryus (7) vs (3) Documented Bellbros

December 2023: TTK vs eambplsl - Bolding ttk here. Better player here and just overall better in this tier imo

March 2024: Riki/Poisany vs duckycrater - Was impressed by Ducky's win in this tier, but I think Riki has this if he plays well.

April 2024: Dabman1069 vs SapoDaG30 - Not familiar with either player, though bolding Staryu here just for the better team support.

February 2025: sami vs Pokemh - Bolding Sami here. Beat turtles and sousa in this tier and haven't been convinced by Pokemh's play and switching tiers this week.

April 2025: bigshoota vs Rei - Shoota diff

March 2025: bello figo vs AlfrexFrostStaff - Better player and bello has been popping off in this meta.

October 2025: 4tup vs mielke - Think mielke will take this here.

January 2026: mm vs cala_aa - Mm will take it here I think

35 Perfect(Vision D1): Regiboob vs doso749 - Gonna bold the name that has impressed me more so far

35 VGC(June 2025): Arcanine1929 vs jayballester - It's jay
