Tournament [Gen 9] A Duomod Randbats tour ANYONE could win ($40 Prize Pool, won by Gekokeso!)

won vs Tarrembeau and SOM, ggs @ both

Anyways, less than 48 hours to complete your games! I see that most or all of you have at least scheduled but I'll be tagging everyone who's yet to play as a reminder - ASKid679 kiwi_galactica Axrtix Sceon MultiPokemon Rezzo Sylveon used calm mind Irpachuza. I'll also be DMing some of you about Player Wheel stuff either on Discord or here throughout the next two days.

can we get a 6 week extension for the second one this was too much for me
 
Well, you've made it to Round 2! This was a lot of people's first time playing the mod, and I hope you all are enjoying what you've played so far. Some people have been brought back in despite losing because of Player Wheel stuff that's partially been kept private. As for the rest, they've been put onto a Standby list where you're technically out, but Player Wheel stuff can reinvite you by random chance. This includes people joining late, and I'll ping Dead by Daylight and SpaceSpeakers to let them both know that. I'll be DMing everyone who has a chance to rejoin a few days beforehand just to be sure they're still good to play. For Round specific stuff, Pajantom has been removed, ViZar has buffed Impostor Blade to 140 Base Power instead of 120, and I'll be giving a two-day extension to Axrtix and Sceon since both had tried to schedule but an agreement hasn't been made.

Otherwise, here's the matchups!

EeveeGirl1380 vs. Sceon
EeveeGirl1380 - This effect has been BLOCKED by another player!
Sceon - You now have one Ghosting Card! If you use it, you can call DuoM2 to privately message anyone for help or distraction during a bo3. You can use this at any point in the tournament.

Ema Skye vs. ViZar
Ema Skye - Hidden from both players.
ViZar- Make ONE buff or nerf to any Pokemon, move, or ability that applies to every battle this round.

Gekokeso vs. R8
Gekokeso - You now have one Out-of-Jail Card! If you use it, you can block any one wheel effect that any player gets. You can use this at any point in the tournament past this round.
R8 - Hidden from both players.

kiwi_galactica vs. patos
kiwi_galactica - For your next bo3, you must play on Duomod Randbats (INVERSE). You can agree to not do randbats if you would like, but must still play Inverse Duomod.
patos - You now have one Summon Card! If you use it, you can call in any other Pokemon player to play a bo3 for you. Of course, they must agree to this. You can use this at any point in the tournament past this round.

Mayleee vs. ASKid679
Mayleee vs. DuoM2
ASKid679 vs. DuoM2
Mayleee - Anyone that lost by a 6-0 last round will be reinvited to the tournament. Does not count CC1v1. (NOTE - This one would normally be hidden, but it literally does nothing here since nobody who's eliminated lost a match 6-0, so I may as well show it.)
ASKid679 - Both you and your opponent have to play against Duo instead of each other. You only move on if you beat him.

Rezzo vs. Paulluxx
Rezzo - If you and your opponent share a Pokemon on any of your teams, you both must lead with that Pokemon. If there are multiple, pick the one that comes first alphabetically.
Paulluxx - Hidden from both players.

TheSerotoninVibes vs. Sylveon used calm mind
TheSerotoninVibes - For your next bo3, you must play on a "Two Spins" format, Randbats or otherwise.
Sylveon used calm mind - Hidden from both players.

Turtlek vs. Irpachuza
Turtlek - You must choose one player other than yourself to get a bye this round. If you do not respond, they will be chosen at random. (NOTE - They chose SwordIsBored)
Irpachuza - For your next bo3, you must play on Duomod Randbats (CAMOMONS). You can agree to not do randbats if you would like, but must still play Camomons Duomod.

SwordIsBored vs. (bye round)
wow!
​

You have until Midnight EST on Saturday, February 18th to finish your games. Please try and specifically download your replays if possible so I can post them in the Solomods server, and make sure you DO NOT set the battles to invite only. Thanks!


EDIT: i forgot to mention if anyone wow reacts this post i will kick them very hard in the nuts

my vague understanding of this format tells me the optimal play is to throw my match 0-6 to activate Mayleee's spin effect and auto-advance
 
won my games vs askid, replays are in the solomods server, ggs

i've won 5 for 5 now i promise it wasn't like this in gen 8's tour i feel like i'm robbing people of their money :c
 
24 hours left! (other than the people who asked for an extension)
 
Given win due to the opponent's health

I defeated Mayleee, and Paulluxx was given the win over ViZar, so onto Round 3! Unfortunately, nobody got reinvited this round like the last one. Impostor Blade was changed back to 120 BP. Nobody's been able to do anything that alters the game for Round 3, but that's going to change in Round 4. All I have to say for now is that you should DM me when your match is over.

Anyways, let's take a look at the matchups...

Paulluxx vs. Sylveon used calm mind
Paulluxx - Hidden from both players.
Sylveon used calm mind - This effect has been BLOCKED by another player!

Ema Skye vs. EeveeGirl1380
Ema Skye - For the first battle, your opponent must show their entire team's movesets with !showteam. Lying about this will result in disqualification.
EeveeGirl1380 - For every battle in your next bo3, you and your opponent both must lead with the first Pokemon on your teams.

patos vs. Gekokeso
patos - If you and your opponent share a Pokemon on any of your teams, you both must lead with that Pokemon. If there are multiple, pick the one that comes first alphabetically.
Gekokeso - Both players can agree to play any other format they choose. If they cannot come to an agreement, they must play Duomod Randbats as normal.

SwordIsBored vs. Turtlek
SwordIsBored - If you and your opponent share a Pokemon on any of your teams, you both must lead with that Pokemon. If there are multiple, pick the one that comes first alphabetically.
Turtlek - You now have one Out-of-Jail Card! If you use it, you can block any one wheel effect that any player gets. You can use this at any point in the tournament after this round as long as you message me before the next round's matchups are announced.

​
You have until Tuesday, February 28th at 11:59 PM EST, but I'd prefer if you get these matches done by the end of Sunday if at all possible for reasons that would take too long for me to explain. See you then!

Usually wouldn't do this since it's just a funny tournament but I do have to unfortunately call act on patos. Failed to show up in dh both times at scheduled times or didn't provide another concrete time for the match.

Why is this the tournament I'm getting act wins all the time I just want to fight in funny duo tier, anyways time to get my sub in.
 
Alright, semifinals. Starting this round I won't be allowing people to be reinvited anymore and also won't be making anyone fight me because honestly I still feel bad about having robbed so many people of their chances this tournament. That aside, there's six new Pokemon here! Some of them are not yet sprited and have a highly compressed image of a plush for their sprite instead for the time being. The balance could also be off but honestly I don't think I mind too much. This is randbats anyways.
feralynx.png

Feralynx | Dark/Ice | 54/122/84/60/92/115 | Moxie
Randbats moves include Impostor Blade, Swords Dance, Polar Pounce, Inkbrush
Courtesy of Turtlek, this is a Pokemon with no especially strong Dark moves, so you have to use Impostor Blade to make the most of this Pokemon.

aquadamia.png

Aquadamia | Grass/Water | 80/120/70/40/70/125 | Dancer
Randbats moves include Liquidation, Triple Axel, Power Whip, Poison Jab
Courtesy of Gekokeso, this Pokemon is meant to scare Pokemon away from using Swords Dance and Dragon Dance. The typing was initially Grass/Ground but I changed it to resist Jet Punch from Fauxster while still scaring Fluxtape-Stereo. I'll probably change this thing's movepool to give it Aqua Jet or maybe Flip Turn as well, movepool is kinda weird as it stands.

neuralurk.png

Neuralurk | Dark/Fairy | 181/101/43/113/43/89 | Beast Boost
Randbats moves include Moonblast, Play Rough, Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, Knock Off, Flamethrower, Nasty Plot, Swords Dance, Trick
Courtesy of Paulluxx, here's a mixed wallbreaker with pretty well-rounded stats. Its bulk evens out to being well above average and its offensive typing and versatility should keep you on your toes.

cadbunny.png

Cadbunny | Normal | 104/60/96/70/96/91 | Opportunist
Randbats moves include Boomburst, Chilly Reception, Nuzzle, Knock Off, Focus Blast, Slack Off
Courtesy of Ema, this Pokemon is just a fun Opportunist guy. When the Roulette Wheel gives boosts to an opponent, it does activate Opportunist, so this Pokemon can actively benefit from things that should be exclusive to the opponent.

blockadile.png
(note that this wonderful sprite doesn't show up yet on DH because i made a mistake)
Blockodile | Ice/Dragon | 105/125/115/65/55/25 | Dragon's Maw
Randbats moves include Dragon Claw, Icicle Crash, Earthquake, Liquidation, Bulk Up
For the free spot, we have Scoopapa's sub. It's a slow, but extremely powerful breaker with a lackluster defensive typing.

ironvessel.png
moddedvessel.png

Iron Vessel (base form) | Psychic/Dragon | 96/76/76/96/108/118 | Regenerator
Modded Vessel (alt form) | Psychic/Dragon | 96/76/106/96/128/68 | Shed Skin
Randbats moves include Core Enforcer, Future Sight, Rapid Spin, Recover, Teleport
So here's something I'll be adding more of in future Duomod patches, but I'll be doing this for all future forms. When you use Iron Vessel, you can "Mega Evolve" into Modded Vessel at any point (you won't be limited to one "mega" per team when I add more). You'll get extra bulk to check certain stuff and gain resistance to status, but you'll lose Regenerator, which is extremely important for this kind of Pokemon. The idea for all of these is that you need to choose an opportune time to transform and can't just click it whenever. It's also currently tied to the move Core Enforcer which I think this is guaranteed to know in randbats so it won't be able to transform in CC1v1.
Onto the matchups! Some really anticlimactic Player Wheel stuff unfortunately.

Paulluxx vs. Turtlek
Paulluxx - This effect has been BLOCKED by another player! (NOTE - Wasn't me lmao)
Turtlek - For your next bo3, you must play on a "Two Spins" format, Randbats or otherwise.

Gekokeso vs. Ema Skye
Gekokeso - Whatever Player Wheel effect your opponent gets is completely blocked no matter what it is.
Ema Skye - You now have one Summon Card! If you use it, you can call in any other Pokemon player to play a bo3 for you. Of course, they must agree to this. You can use this at any point in the tournament.

​
You have until Saturday March 11th at 11:59 PM EST. I'm fine with giving extensions because we're so late into the tournament. Otherwise, good luck!
