SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard SWSH Doubles LC Tournament. All matches must be played in "[Gen 8] Doubles LC".
  • This tournament will be in this format.
  • In the situation where both players end the game with no Pokémon left, a tie is declared.
  • All rounds will be First to 2 Wins. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokémon Showdown! or SmogTours.
Clauses:
  • Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon
  • OHKO Clause: OHKO moves are banned

  • HP Percentage Mod: HP is shown in percentages
  • Dynamax Clause: You cannot dynamax
  • Swagger Clause: Swagger is banned
  • Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep

General Tournament Rules:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
This is a Type B tournament in the LC Doubles circuit. Doubles LC resource thread for resources. Doubles LC damage calculator for damage calcs.

Felt like doing predictions.

Eonito v. John1240 - Eonito is bad but will find a way to win with something dumb. Very close one tho. (51 - 49)
outbackrabbit v. Mack Knife - I've seen Mack Knife play regular LC before and he knows how to play doubles, meanwhile i know nothing about the opp. (20 - 80)
Ann nonima v. Nultiprise - Giving the edge to the doubles main here over the LC main but it could go to any side. (55 - 45)
JRL v. Shou Dui - JRL has more experience with the tier and playing doubles overall; however Shou Dui is a good player and could make an upset. (70 - 30)
Voltix v. Marilink - Voltix is overall hard to not bold. Historically the best Doubles LC player vs someone that hasn't played the tier yet... (95 - 5)
Quairo v. SaDiSTiCNarwhal - This literally happened in LPL 2 weeks ago lol; i've been liking how narwhal has played lately for the most of it while quairo has been playing weird. (40 - 60)
Ralyks Steel v. Mr.Bossaru - This is going to be super close and honestly the only reason as to why i dont bold Ralyks is because i've seen very little from him lately. Expecting a great match tho. (49 - 51)
Albi v. Bless - Another LC vs Doubles main match. This one however is very close as both are really good and none of them have big experience on the tier; will be fun to see. (49 - 51)
Akaru Kokuyo v. Meminger21 - Probably the highlight game of the round. Meminger has played the tier before but technically akaru is a better player (or atleast more proven) will be super interesting to see. (45 - 55)
itsallyellow v. JuanSG - If i don't bold him it would be like shooting my own feet. Neither have Doubles experience but Juan is good at mons. (45 - 55)
SOM/05 v. RLplayer - RL did surprisingly well on the seasonal so going with him for that reason. (40 - 60)
Tzon v. patboiii - this one is a bit yikes because while Tzon is my friend i cant in my right mind bold him with his 0 experience on the tier vs the dude that probably plays it the most. (35 - 65)
Toadow v. Neblina - I'm not sold on Neblina being a good player, Toadow on the other hand is a great one. We will see if the experiemce and better skill of Toadow prevails to the Gasai help. (75 - 25)
Gazoney v. ANoobWithoutAName - I'm very interested on this player tbh; everytime i see him playing he does good plays ajd the teams he makes are cool. Hopefully i'm not wrong. Gazoney on the other side is a question mark for me so i will need something else to bold him. (35 - 65)
Elfuseon v. Joltage - The other option for the highlight of the round imo. Both are great players with similar experience to the tier i'm bolding elfu because i know he has access to the ace teambuilder. (51 - 49)
GasaiYunoSan v. giove97 - Currently leading the circuit in points thanks to the seasonal win vs having not played in a very long time... (85 - 15)
Winnie1906 v. Acehunter1 - Ace is just very solid and is hard to not bold him. Winnie doesnt proved anything yet. (5 - 95)
Paraplegic v. innovamania - I trust Paraplegic skills to adapt to the metagame fast enough; only reason i don't give a higher edge is because innovamania is not a random and knows how to play a bit. (65 - 35)
CyndaKill-SH v. Xxgenisis - cyndakill does know about doubles and has touched the tier before. (65 - 35)
martinvtran v. txitxas - martin knows about the tier but i bwlieve txitxas will come up victorious on this one. (40 - 60)
hybone v. HSOWA - hybone did great on the seasonal; meanwhile HSOWA is a great player; tbf i'm bolding my builds here lol. Great match for sure. (49 - 51)
Stecolomaxx v. Quiche Nuts Gandhi - Even tho stecolo never played doubles lc he played lc while his opponent is a complete mystery to me. (70 - 30)
Actuarily v. TheKingKarp - Kinda sad to have to predict against my boy Karp but not bolding actu is a crime here. Will be an interesting match tho. (75 - 25)

HF everyone and hoping for great battles. :psyglad:

Everything is balanced

Requesting extension for Monday. Meminger and I scheduled once but I missed it, and now he can't play tomorrow, but said Monday was fine (We would play on Monday 19:00 gmt -3). Meminger agreed with the extension, but if it isn't granted I take the loss since I missed our schedule (Tagging jcbc )
