ADV Tradebacks is a what-if scenario where NatDex Pokemon that exist in Gen 3 can be traded back to Gen 3 to use moves and Abilities they learn later, if those moves and Abilities exist in Gen 3. It's worth noting that Drizzle and Drought are banned, and that Baton Pass does not pass stat boosts. This is a format dominated by Meteor Mash Jirachi, Dragon Dance Flygon, Heat Wave Zapdos, Calm Mind Jolteon, and Superpower/Knock Off distribution. For a full list of move pickups, see this spreadsheet.
Important rules and information:
- Matches will be best-of-three in the [Gen 3] ADV Tradebacks format on Dragon Heaven (defined as the first player to win two games, i.e. ties are not counted).
- Replays of all tournament games must be posted.
Make sure you post downloadable replays, not links (Dragon Heaven has a linked replay issue).Think this has been fixed, but I'm not sure; you may post links unless further specified. The tournament will be single elimination. If you lose your set, you're out.UPDATE 10/18: Tournament is now Round Robin based on player count and player feedback.- Each round will last one week.
- Feel free to discuss in the Solomods Megathread or the ADV Modded Formats thread.
- Join the Solomods Discord (or Yak's Alt Formats Discord) if you're into Discord chat.
