Welcome to the fifth cycle of the Monotype Seasonals! This is the first of three tournaments in the third Monotype Seasonal and the 2020 circuit, meaning wins in this tournament WILL count towards the Monotype Ribbon, as well as the Seasonal rankings.

SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard SS Monotype tournament
  • This tournament will be DOUBLE Elimination
  • All rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts or at least saves replays of the match, the game will be coin flipped regardless of whoever won.
Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Baton Pass Clause: Baton pass is banned
  • Same Type Clause: Pokémon in a team must share a type.
  • Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep
  • Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon
  • OHKO Clause: OHKO moves are banned
  • Moody Clause: Moody is banned
  • Evasion Moves Clause: Evasion moves are banned
  • Endless Battle Clause: Forcing endless battles is banned
  • HP Percentage Mod: HP is shown in percentages
  1. Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  2. Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using Fire-type" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  3. Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  4. Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

Winners

ed wins vs SparksBlade - I can't keep making jokes about ed's name but i think he will win
Kaguya Lys vs Havens - Ah another fantastically well rigged match from perish, Kaguya has somehow managed to piss havens off as well, ez act win here
akaFila vs Crashy - I thought you had to be known as something before you had to be "also known as" something, tbh akafilas name just confuses me
Ticken vs Splash - this isnt monothreat, but ticken has all the stats to rig the matchup in his favour
Juuno vs OGMB - idk
boyn vs DYA - dya hates gen 8 but i think hes good enough to win this
Caspell vs Vaboh - Vaboh is playing Caspell so he will probably get banned before the week is done
zugubu royale vs dahli - both good at mons, one makes polls that dont make sense, the other doesnt make polls idk
damflame 3 vs Teggun Burcs - idk what happened to damflame 1 and 2 but idt the third one is winning this game
TheTacoMan vs Bitana - i still cant get piano man out of my head everytime i see tacomans name, i thought it was a sign that he would win but honestly i think it might be the opposite
Jahkem vs Rukt - not sure just bolded one
Bouff vs kythr - kythrs opponent had to try to snake and delete logs to even have a chance at winning in monogens, however the supreme leader knows all and i dont see kythr losing this
Jolly Togekiss vs RindaOkami LaPatateDouce - Look honestly i think jt is going to win, but he talks shit about the greatest mon ever to grace the monotype ladder and frankly that is just a disgrace (apparently perish got the wrong matchup, point still stands though)
Its Choco Bitch vs Fylkir Pudin - I dont think choco has ever played against bug stall, so i dont think he will expect it all 3 games here
Floss vs Toadow - floss wants revenge or something idk
blinkboy vs TJ - apparently tj is some sort of staff here at smogon, im assuming that means hes at least played the game before then

Losers Bracket

MetaRiolu7 vs Kalib_32 - fuck perish man, hes really trying to rig this tournament against kalib, i think he'll pull through though, even against mr7
Dragonflo vs yedla - aldey makes more sense than olfnogard, actually ngl that kinda sounds like a norse god or something ez win here for olfnogard
Alternativ3 vs smub - Smub uses some very Alternativ3 types, however if the opponent brings something that beats ice and rock he probably wins here, still somehow backing smub
Cheese5555 vs Xiri - doesnt xiri win every circuit tour he plays?
[ima vs Riku Sakuraba ] vs Nexecutioner - This is your apology Perish??? riku still has to play ima and then when he wins that he has to play nex straight after? damn this is rigged af, sadly for riku i think nex will pull through here
TheUprising007 vs Endal - Endal will have his work cut out for him against dugza killer theuprising but i think he'll win this
[Yami vs FIR SoulSurfer ] vs Decem - Somehow Yami is still johnning even past sunday night, i guess i shouldnt be too surprised. decem will beat whoever gets johnned better
Vodoom vs Confluxx - another example of a bias host trying to rig matchups, we see through your lies perish
Ssalbap vs Cam - and this is an example of perish not being a very good bias host as we all wanted kevin vs kevin round idk like 40 or something
Koalacance vs maroon - Maroon is good, the other dude has a great pun for a name 51-49 to maroon here
Kev vs DianaNicole - kevin to play kevin in the final battle for the kevins next round until next time they play each other i guess
LuckyPiper vs RaJ.Shoot - The objectively worse of the lucky yogurt brothers as evidenced by the prestigious rigged tour, but i still think hes good enough to win this game
85percent vs Chaitanya - Chait probably wont lose this
InfernoDragon vs Derpeddeath - Which kind of dragon is inferno dragon? like im not really sure tbh, if its like a skyrim dragon id back derpedeath to win because frankly they are pushovers but if its like that ancient dragon from dark souls 2, well lets just say fuck the ancient dragon from dark souls 2
[Reyzark vs Twilight Solace ] vs Namranan - reyzark to beat twilight solace and then will call act first thing monday morning and get the easy free win vs namranan
Harpp vs martha - Harpp plays mono a lot, martha i assume plays other tiers more, will back harpp here
