  • 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.
  • If your opponent does not turn up for the match, you must let your managers know ASAP so they can ping the hosts (BoingK and Kinetic) and the opposing managers in the NDOTSL manager chat and give an opportunity for a sub to be sorted. Without this, the 30 minute act call timer will not be started. If your managers are not around, ping the hosts directly.
  • 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.
  • 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.

BoingK's Awesome National Dex Godly Gift Reviews 2: It's Fucking Raining Cats And Dogs

Velcroc vs Nashrock
:gliscor::iron-boulder::kyurem::tapu-koko::alomomola::necrozma-dusk-mane: vs :corviknight::eternatus::clodsire::dragapult::alomomola::hoopa-unbound:
Velcroc brings an NDM team with E-Terrain supporting Boulder, while Nashrock a more standard looking Eternatus Balance, with extremely potent threats in Dragapult and Hoopa-U.

Game begins and the Etern immediately gets a Toxic Spike off in front of the Gliscor (meaning the Dragapult is likely Specs Hex - Velcroc will have to keep the Alomomola very healthy and keep it's boots for as long as possible). There's a bit more pivoting - Kyurem reveals Sub, and NDM gets Rocks up - nothing too interesting happens until Turn 18, when Nashrock's Alomomola switches in on a Tapu Koko HP (presumably Ice). The Koko Volts the next turn and Velcroc switches in Kyurem, assuming it's safe to do so, but it is killed on switch by the incoming Alomomola Mirror Coat. Boulder finally hits the field, and it is not Banded so it misses out on the Corv kill as the Corv switches in. Nashrock is forced to dance around the Boulder for a bit, but it's forced out by the largely healthy Alomomola, which is able to Wish up it's Corv. On Turn 31, Corv elects to Defog, Nashrock clearly believing that the Rocks are more harmful than the TSpike is useful. More pivoting happens, and Nashrock finally gets Hoopa on the field, and it greatly dents the Alomomola and the Tapu Koko. Nashrock is then able to position the Dragapult and is able to take another kill, as Alomomola is not healthy enough to take two Shadow Balls - Velcroc does elect to give up the Alomomola. From here its a wrap, as the Hoopa claims the NDM and the Koko, and the Pult is able to clean with them alive anyway.

Nashrock simply had better offensive options in this game - Hoopa and Dragapult were able to generate so much pressure over the course of the game in a way that Iron Boulder and Tapu Koko together could not. Perhaps if Velcroc plays safe on Turn 18 scouts for Mirror Coat, the Kyurem may contribute something to the game seeing as it smacks all of Nashrock's defensive pieces. I was a little surprised however that Velcroc chose to forgo Dragon Dance on NDM - it probably could have won the game if positioned correctly.

Evie vs AM
:scizor-mega::gouging-fire::grimmsnarl::landorus::xerneas::crawdaunt: vs :pelipper::barraskewda::kyurem-black::basculegion-f::archaludon::swampert-mega:
All I can say is thank fuck we banned Xern and Swift Swim because these fellas were broken. Evie brings a Screens team and AM brings a Rain team, this game is not going to be long.

Evie leads Grimmsnarl into AM's Swampert=Mega, and gets a Reflect up before pivoting to Craw. AM then sets the rain at the cost of Pelipper's Damp Rock. Evie then pivots to Landorus on the Archaludon, and reveals Sub, essentially nullifying it and claiming her first kill in the match, but Barraskewda comes in and revenges right back, Flipping out to Swampert with one turn of rain left. Scizor comes in and attempts to Swords Dance but Swampert simply flips to Basculegion and Evie is forced to sack Crawdaunt. She however gets her Xern in and gets Z-Geomancy going... and gets unceremoniously crit, losing her the game on the spot. Rain goes up again and there is nothing to be done, the game is lost 9 turns later.

Xurkiyee vs TheDragonMaster
:scizor-mega::zygarde::xerneas::serperior::iron-valiant::glimmora: vs :ferrothorn::seismitoad::kyurem-white::mantine::pelipper::crawdaunt:
Hey look it's another Xern HO into Rain HO match so I'm not going to go in depth all you need to know is TDM gets Mantine in on rainy conditions, murders Scizor-Mega, Serperior, and Zygarde-50 with Rain-boosted Hydro Pumps, then proceeds to miss on the Xern, lives a +2 Moonblast, and misses again LOL

Predicts
TDM vs Evie - Should be a fun match to watch but gonna favour Evie even though there aren't many builds to go off yet.

Nashrock vs Xurkiyee - I'll bold Nashrock who put in a very solid performance last week

about15gals vs AM - I think it'll be a close watch but I'd be surprised if AM doesn't bring this one home​
