  • 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.
  • 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.
  • All replays MUST be public - this means no unlisting replays
  • 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.

BW DOU: DaWoblefet vs. Mishimono : bring back ss mishimono
 
:serperior: Santalune Storms (4) vs. (4) Paldea Cratermakers :tinkaton:
SV DOU: Feyy vs. zee - close game this could go either way but you can't argue with 9 wins in SCL (45-55)
SV DOU: Givrix vs. KCric - again I could see this going either way though I do think KCric has more to prove as a sorta underdog here and may push a bit harder. Givrix is OSDT finalist so we'll see (45-55)
Champions VGC: Darts vs. dominicex - Darts is very good! (65-35)
ND DOU: Nido-Rus vs. Monai - this will likely be a knowledge difference from Monai, since I haven't seen Nido in this tier in a while, though they are still an amazing player and could certainly win (40-60)
SS DOU: Paraplegic vs. SEA - SEA in SS? No way! But seriously I think this will be some sort of knowledge difference like above since I haven't seen SEA in SS (65-35)
SM DOU: qsns vs. Xrn - this goes either way IMO, bolding Xrn because I'm more familiar with their game (50-50)
XY DOU: Schister vs. Val16 - Schister the goat, though Val is a respectable and strong player I do think Schister takes it here (60-40)
BW DOU: Checkmater vs. yuki - BW merchant (70-30)

:hydreigon: Humilau City Hydreigons (3) vs. (5) Milwaukee Ducks :psyduck:
SV DOU: IcyPenguin2 vs. MyPokemonRBad12 - THE GOAAAAAAAAAT (45-55)
SV DOU: papiloco vs. yone - yone had a really good OSDT performance but I believe that papiloco is the better player historically (60-40)
Champions VGC: EternalSnowman vs. SvenVGC - highlight VGC match, gonna bold ESM here because I'm more familiar with their game but this could realistically go either way (50-50)
ND DOU: gephicka vs. Code - hello friend. I think geph has a very solid grasp of this tier but code is the circuit winner... still believe in ya geph (55-45)
SS DOU: raf vs. Akaru Kokuyo - more familiar with akaru + akaru has good ss (45-55)
SM DOU: luisin vs. Ann - Ann is generally a stronger player IMO, it feels like whenever I see luisin play, at least in SV, it was just espathra slop idk what it is now LOL (30-70)
XY DOU: sir jelloton vs. Arcticblast - arcticblast is more experienced in xy, though jello is an amazing player and can surely pull through (40-60)
BW DOU: AIRedzone vs. Razachu - raza vintage run (40-60)

:cresselia: Cure Arcana Shadow (3) vs. (5) The Snowpoint City Cold Crew :iron-bundle:
SV DOU: PigWarrior19 vs. SEROO - pig is the better player imo, SEROO is still amazing however and can certainly win (65-35)
SV DOU: hybone vs. Lifetouches - newcomers match, more familiar with Lifetouches (45-55)
Champions VGC: volcaronavgc vs. Mastrota89 - VGCPL winner diff, lily also can tilt a bit so idk how that'll play out (40-60)
ND DOU: Frixel vs. Voltix - ND vs non-ND main (35-65)
SS DOU: bagel vs. ratpacker - idk how strong bagel or ratpacker's ss is LOL, bolding the OSDT champ ig? (50-50)
SM DOU: xqiht vs. Terekusai - I haven't seen Terekusai in SM; they are a strong player for sure but I believe more in xqiht (60-40)
XY DOU: Idyll vs. Yoda2798 - yoda has just been more active I think (45-55)
BW DOU: sheepie vs. JRL - get sheepie out of BW this instant, free my guy (40-60)

:sudowoodo: Swagging Sudowoodos (6) vs. (2) Castelia City Cosmogs :cosmog:
SV DOU: thepokemonuploads vs. eragon - osdt diff (30-70)
SV DOU: Grandmas Cookin vs. Staraptor - more familiar with grandmas cookin's play (60-40)
Champions VGC: MichaelderBeste2 vs. rovbmc - highlight match, though it is MDB (60-40)
ND DOU: iPetBigfoot vs. Helga146 - ND GOAT (70-30)
SS DOU: Nails vs. Chris32156 - rfn rfn rfn rfn rfn (45-55)
SM DOU: GenOne vs. Kunal - I have never actually seen Kunal in SM, interested to see how that plays out. Unfortunately, GenOne, from what I've seen, is a great SM player (65-35)
XY DOU: laptops vs. Yellow Paint - yellow paint should be in sv, though they are really really good and I wouldn't be surprised if they pull a win here too, laptops is just more experienced I think (55-45)
BW DOU: DaWoblefet vs. Mishimono - dawobobobobobobobobobo (55-45)
 
:hydreigon: Humilau City Hydreigons (1) vs. (7) Milwaukee Ducks :psyduck:
SV DOU: IcyPenguin2 vs. MyPokemonRBad12 - predict nazi downfall and i also rate icp pretty highly
SV DOU: papiloco vs. yone - i feel like yone been grinding a bit harder so i can see them getting it done here
Champions VGC: EternalSnowman vs. SvenVGC - esm is goated
ND DOU: gephicka vs. Code - code is just too strong rn
SS DOU: raf vs. Akaru Kokuyo - i dont think raf has played in a while so akaru wins off of recency bias
SM DOU: luisin vs. Ann - ann is cracked
XY DOU: sir jelloton vs. Arcticblast - i believe arctic will go positive this tour if not x-0
BW DOU: AIRedzone vs. Razachu - raza knows his stuff

:cresselia: Cure Arcana Shadow (5) vs. (3) The Snowpoint City Cold Crew :iron-bundle:
SV DOU: PigWarrior19 vs. SEROO - pig decently strong
SV DOU: hybone vs. Lifetouches - idk either of these guys but vibes tell me hybone is stronger
Champions VGC: volcaronavgc vs. Mastrota89 - sigh
ND DOU: Frixel vs. Voltix - huge voltix fan from a playing standpoint, and in a tier he's strong in. gotta bold him
SS DOU: bagel vs. ratpacker - i dont bold against bagel
SM DOU: xqiht vs. Terekusai - im not sure how much sm experience either have and i rate xq a bit higher as a player
XY DOU: Idyll vs. Yoda2798 - if idyll doesnt ff on turn 3 he will win
BW DOU: sheepie vs. JRL what even is this ;-;

:sudowoodo: Swagging Sudowoodos (4) vs. (4) Castelia City Cosmogs :cosmog:
SV DOU: thepokemonuploads vs. eragon - tough draw for tpu. cant bold against era after all the recent success
SV DOU: Grandmas Cookin vs. Staraptor - staraptor is so good and gma hasnt been playing
Champions VGC: MichaelderBeste2 vs. rovbmc - not an mdb fan. am a rob fan
ND DOU: iPetBigfoot vs. Helga146 - no idea what kinda game helga got so gotta bold bigfoot
SS DOU: Nails vs. Chris32156 - nails is prob the ss goat but chris is such a fucking legend. i think chris can cause the upset but wouldnt be shocked to see nails win
SM DOU: GenOne vs. Kunal - gotta support my boy
XY DOU: laptops vs. Yellow Paint - paint really impresses me as a builder and player but xy is laptops' tier so gotta bold him
BW DOU: DaWoblefet vs. Mishimono - two bw players but gonna go wob. whoever wants it more will prob win

moderate effort predicts

:hydreigon: Humilau City Hydreigons (2) vs. (6) Milwaukee Ducks :psyduck:
SV DOU: IcyPenguin2 vs. MyPokemonRBad12- I'm not sure MPRB's bo3 success will translate to teamtour bo1 immediately but I think the upset chances are good
SV DOU: papiloco vs. yone similar thing as above but there's definitely less of a gap here given yones played dwc iirc so i'm taking yone on this one.
Champions VGC: EternalSnowman vs. SvenVGC esm in great form for champions lately and I think he can adapt well to M-B changes
ND DOU: gephicka vs. Code difficult to bold against code in this tier atm but still quite close. hardest one for me to call of the series
SS DOU: raf vs. Akaru Kokuyo haven't seen raf play in a while and akaru is very strong in ss
SM DOU: luisin vs. Ann no rfn power???
XY DOU: sir jelloton vs. Arcticblast I don't remember much about jello's experience in XY. He's certainly no slouch generally, but I'd favor Arctic in this tier specifically
BW DOU: AIRedzone vs. Razachu yellow magic god

realistically, this series will probably end 5-3 or 4-4 lol. I don't think it's nearly as one sided as my predicts look

:cresselia: Cure Arcana Shadow (5) vs. (3) The Snowpoint City Cold Crew :iron-bundle:
SV DOU: PigWarrior19 vs. SEROO pig is better imo, not much to say
SV DOU: hybone vs. Lifetouches lifetouches on the comeup, but iirc teamtour debut?
Champions VGC: volcaronavgc vs. Mastrota89 volcaronavgc is kinda outclassed here from what i can tell
ND DOU: Frixel vs. Voltix not convinced by frixels commencement thread post
SS DOU: bagel vs. ratpacker go bingle
SM DOU: xqiht vs. Terekusai i think xq's more gimmicky teams could be a hard matchup for tere's mence balance preferences
XY DOU: Idyll vs. Yoda2798 this could easily go either way but I'd favor idyll in a bo1 slightly for the unhinged bring factor and hindsight on the close loss
BW DOU: sheepie vs. JRL I expect actu to be able to get jrl up to speed enough to win here

:sudowoodo: Swagging Sudowoodos (3) vs. (5) Castelia City Cosmogs :cosmog:
SV DOU: thepokemonuploads vs. eragon osdt winner 30k vs teamtour debut is a rough week 1
SV DOU: Grandmas Cookin vs. Staraptor 3k staraptor is unbelievable. toss up, but staraptor has been more active in sv recently
Champions VGC: MichaelderBeste2 vs. rovbmc 3k mdb is more unbelievable but i can't not bold the homie
ND DOU: iPetBigfoot vs. Helga146 bigfoot is quite good at nd, not familiar with helga but there are great nd builders here if helga is up to the challenge
SS DOU: Nails vs. Chris32156 game alr happened but chris 4-0 PIC goat woulda bolded him anyways
SM DOU: GenOne vs. Kunal expecting to see some vgc18 funny team adaptation here
XY DOU: laptops vs. Yellow Paint paint is a fantastic SV player, but I can't recall him playing xy recently so gonna take the stoutland and gourgeist user for aura
BW DOU: DaWoblefet vs. Mishimono bw match of the week for me, both will prob top 2-3 of bw pool by the end

haha reacts only, have a good dpl everyone
