  • Tournaments are held here and in various forums across the site, and from time to time, in the RoA Spotlight Tournaments sub-forum. Some notable tournaments include the following:
    • Cup tournaments are held in the Smogon Metagame Circuits forum for lower tiers (Ubers, UU, NU) and the Other Circuits forum for other tiers (1v1).
    • Team tournaments are held in the main ADV forum featuring ADVPL, ADVLTL, and ADV Grand Slam.
    • Current generation lower tier forums host XPL featuring ADV Ubers, UU, NU.
    • Spotlight Tournaments in the RoA Tournaments subforum occasionally feature ADV lower/other tiers as well.

ADV 200

ADV 200: In this metagame, players have access to only the Pokemon, items and movepools obtainable on the Ruby and Sapphire game cartridges. As a result, many of the Pokemon and movesets seen in the standard metagame are not present.

Resources
:Latias:/:Latios:/:Kyogre:/:Groudon:/:Rayquaza:/:Jirachi:/:Deoxys:

Additionally, the standard Baton Pass and Evasion move bans in ADV OU apply here. Keep in mind that Sand Veil is allowed because there is no permanent Sand in the metagame. RIP Tyranitar.

I have also decided to include a loose VR aggregating some tierlists from the highest laddered players from the metagame. These are incredibly liable to shift overtime, but reflects where the metagame stands as of right now.
