Welcome to the 3rd annual Challenge Cup Cup, the premiere Challenge Cup team tournament on Pokemon Showdown! After the excitement and high stakes of the Random Battles Team Tournament, we’re here to kick back and have a good time with everyone’s favorite Extremely Serious And Skillful format, Challenge Cup. In CCC, 8 teams battle it out to prove their skills across varied Challenge Cup formats.

Hi, I'm JonahRamone, manager of Team Surskit. Perennial challengers (runners up in CCC1 and CCC2), we're going for glory this year and we need you. That's right, you. You there. YOU. No, not you. But yes, everyone except that guy.

We're family friendly and pro-fun and we're gonna be number one.

All that's left to say is: Fear the Surskit war cry! A!
