Administrative Decisions | Replays & Usages | Spreadsheet Coming Soon

Rules​

• Follow all rules listed here.​
• Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when we 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 us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.​
• Substitutions may be made after a week as 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.​
• Post replays. 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. They're also required.​

[The Hisui Region]

Giga Genshin Impacters (3) vs (4) Zangetsu Zacians
GG: pannu vs XYStarshine
- the lines in a sand tell a different story
PiC: tkhanh vs Evie
- evie wins as long as opponent does not bring smeargle with chople to live double kick
MnM: QT vs zastra
- worst name change since the 16th century vs someone who would probably be a pretty shitty landlord if he were to pursue that profession
STAB: (70) Tempo di anguria vs Fissure (30)
- you know what the numbers mean.
Inheritance: Mindnight vs Treeko928
- i dont know who either of these people are but please remove that n in your name mindnight it would look so much better as mindight
Trademarked: Ziek_Freek vs Plague
- the real winner is Ren because he gets to watch the game
Camo: Atha vs Mossy Sandwich
- he will lose the speed tie vs latios but reverse sweep with bulk up corviknight
Forme: GlalieGoesBoom vs Taka
- christmas is almost here but that doesn't really matter because we're all going to die one day anyway

Heart Takers (5) vs (4) Grandiose Gracedias
BH: Ivar57 vs Rei
- i'm running out of funny things to say but you can probably ask dhelmise or like aerobee and theyll send you a funny image
PiC: yuki vs HiZo
- smeargle with chople might live double kick but ninetales alola does not live tera scarf life orb adamant choice band jolly urshifu hard press
PiC: Cao Jie vs jasprose
- cao jie is bad....like im talking truly awful atrocious at this game doesnt even know the type chart doesnt even know what a charizard is hasnt even heard of the series pokemon has never even heard of japan and probably wouldnt be able to tell a tera flying dragonite from the other 19 teras dragonite runs in ou therefore he is not going to win this game.. HOWEVER once he sees this he will be so motivated that he will win in a dominant performance and prove the haters wrong
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs Betticus IV
- they both lose for having to play aaa. but if they both lose, they also both win
Forme: kDCA vs about15gals
- national dex ru player vs individual that does not play national dex ru, surely someone who has been trained in such a high intensity battleground will emerge victorious against someone who has not
ORAS PH: NToTheN vs Electra102
- this user has a pretty cool name and i dont really care for people who play golf
ORAS PH: SammyCe123 vs Ineros
- only time ive ever seen sammy lose was vs me. and i did not beat ineros so if you carry the 1 and solve for ∑=0[log2()−]=(+1)log2()−(+1)2 then ferroseed probably kills latios with specs gyro ball
Alphabet: Axzel vs RoFnA
- youre a moron if you think rofna knows the alphabet truly

MOCCing Machamps (0) vs (7) Prometeo Primeapes
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs Kinetic
PiC: crow crumbs vs Glory
PiC: LogIce vs Chromate
MnM: Kaif vs PociekMociek
Trademarked: Clas vs Jojen
SP: vnmmv vs The Hisui Region
Forme: LB vs Swas
- swas is going to deadgame after we all win
ORAS PH: realExcaliju vs LycanrocWastaken

Noxious Nightshades (2) vs (5) Slashing Leaves
MnM: seraphz vs SpaceSpeakers
- ai player vs ai user. ai is smart enough to fool all of you into thinking HiZo is a real person so the ai player probably wins
GG: TTTech vs damflame 3
- can 34 year old damflame 3 beat yn tttech? he killed the other two damflames so probably
STAB: lag=bad vs One Last Kiss
- respectfully,
PiC: GhastlyPixie vs DripLegend
- disrespectfully,
Forme: Tbp24 vs Greybaum
- tbp is very good but woke om cancel culture will get my twitter account suspended if i bold against someone named "gay bomb"
ORAS PH: Tanny89k vs sussyamongusdrip
- i would rather get back with my ex than bold someone named sussyamongusdrip
Camo: jb291 vs ghostlike
- ghostlike is just like a ghost, but jb291's profile picture is missingno so he actually is a ghost. clear winner here
Alphabet: ஞ❶の②❺の⑨ঞ⓿≽⑨ vs ☜ঞஞஞ❺
- i will be in the ၉ঞ⑨ with my head on the ၉ঞ⑨

 

[Chessking345]

12-11 last week I should serious consider just flipping. Homefield winrate last week was 19-11 (12-10 compared to 12-10 for my predicts, finally getting something right even if its all in the wrong places?).

Italic represents the side that picked the slot, for dupe slots there will be no italics.
Heart Takers (3) vs (5) Grandiose Gracedias
BH: Ivar57 vs Rei
Ivar back in a familiar tier and unlike TTTech I hope Ivar loads something viable.
PiC: yuki vs HiZo
I think deadgaming is worse than dodging.
PiC: Cao Jie vs jasprose
I'm going to base this solely on Gracedias support being better.
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs Betticus IV
O1 is very good (though this pick is still probably good) but Betticus has been on a roll and high motivation?
Forme: kDCA vs about15gals
Unfortunate I don't get to see Betticus lose his mind here, though can maybe expect a team which have seemed very solid, not sold on the Specs Ogre on Webs.
ORAS PH: NToTheN vs Electra102
N is stronger even though he picked up a pretty free win last week. Though there is fair chance he gets cted?
ORAS PH: SammyCe123 vs Ineros
I would say something went pretty wrong for Heart Taker picks to have ended up with this kind of thing again (and I don't know if this was the strategy from Gracedias to force a double PH though doing that without a second main is?). However maybe Sammy will find/get passed some quality teams.
Alphabet: Axzel vs RoFnA
RoFnA has been doing very well.

MOCCing Machamps (3) vs (5) Prometeo Primeapes
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs Kinetic
This is probably very close but Kinetic has been in better form I think.
PiC: crow crumbs vs Glory
So I was told that Primeapes had this planned out like since the beginning because having only one PiC main while wanting to pick PiC every week will lead to situations like this, I look forward to Glory surprising people but crow crumbs has been doing great.
PiC: LogIce vs Chromate
Chromate is very solid.
MnM: Kaif vs PociekMociek
I will bold the more experienced player no bias because I drafted them before nope.
Trademarked: Clas vs Jojen
I think Clas does know this tier well and being a CL tier helps, though I think THR passed something remarkably similar to what Clas has used before?
SP: vnmmv vs The Hisui Region
vnmmy lost last week but tbp was like hyper invested into prep I think.
Forme: LB vs Swas
Has builder vs no builder.
ORAS PH: realExcaliju vs LycanrocWastaken
I think Primeapes picked this expecting to have an advantage and their picks have been pretty logical thus far, clicking is probably excaliju but having a good team is super important as we have seen.

Noxious Nightshades (5) vs (3) Slashing Leaves
MnM: seraphz vs SpaceSpeakers
Haha SpaceSpeakers.
GG: damflame 3 vs TTTech
Haha TTTech I'm bolding you again. I think in GG TTTech has an edge.
STAB: lag=bad vs One Last Kiss
lag did good last week but OLK with Tech support is strong, as shown by flexing with Blaze Blaziken.
PiC: GhastlyPixie vs DripLegend
Pixie has been going on a strong streak? That + seemingly strong motivation seems good here. I'm assuming zee is busy this week?
Forme: Tbp24 vs Greybaum
Tbp has been investing a lot of effort in tiers it seems and this is one of his more enjoyed tiers. Greybaum tough competition though.
ORAS PH: Tanny89k vs sussyamongusdrip
Support is a lot stronger and I think sussy's team last week was very sussy what was the wincon.
Camo: jb291 vs ghostlike
Tough choice I guess I will go with the side that brought a more interesting team?
Alphabet: duckycrater vs Baddy
TTTech can't win himself but carries his teammates?

Homefield winrate prediction: 13-5

 

[The Guy Who Has Many Alts]

Hello guys and girls.

I don't know if you noticed but BALANCED HACKMONS is one of the tier available for you to choose.

Let me tell you a little something about this extremely prestigious tier.

Do you like STABBING mons? Well, we STAB AND UNSTAB ALL mons in BH.

Perhaps you like AAA? Well in BH we're BAA (Basically Any Ability).

You like Formemons? BH is Formemons but worse because of In-Game Cartridge Legality. However, it is because BH is not perfect in this aspect that it is more than perfect.

This tour features ALL THREE MEMBERS of the BH council who will surely guide your team to an unshakeable victory, should you simply invoke their deep meta knowledge and countless hours of experience.

Wait no longer.

I call upon all Team Managers-

CHOOSE GENERATION 9 BALANCED HACKMONS NEXT WEEK as your OM of choice, and bear witness to glorious competition of immaculate skill, precision, teambuilding and intellect.

 

[Clas]

glhf to all and pick the metas you and your teammates enjoy :)

back to your regularly scheduled winposting (i hope)

Giga Genshin Impacters (3) vs (5) Zangetsu Zacians
GG: pannu vs XYStarshine - starshine beat pannu but im a staunch supporter of the girls gays and theys
PiC: tkhanh vs Evie - tkhanh is undefeated but im a staunch supporter of lesbians
MnM: QT vs zastra - zastra gave me a team once but im a staunch supporter of the enbys

Trademarked: Ziek_Freek vs Plague - i think ziek_freek has played this format before but i'm a staunch supporter of the bubonic plague (im running out of ideas)
Camo: Atha vs Mossy Sandwich - i respect atha as a player but i'm a staunch supporter of questionable food choices

Heart Takers (3) vs (5) Grandiose Gracedias
BH: Ivar57 vs Rei - ivar is my friend
PiC: yuki vs HiZo - both are my friend
PiC: Cao Jie vs jasprose - jasprose is my friend
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs Betticus IV - betticus is my friend
Forme: kDCA vs about15gals - about is my friend
ORAS PH: NToTheN vs Electra102 - neither are my friend
ORAS PH: SammyCe123 vs Ineros - neither are my friend but ive spoken to sammy more
Alphabet: Axzel vs RoFnA - neither are my friend but rofna talks in oms more so we're friends in law

MOCCing Machamps (5) vs (3) Prometeo Primeapes
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs Kinetic - rudi's good at stabbing
PiC: crow crumbs vs Glory - neither of them have a partner but crow crumbs gives less single vibes
PiC: LogIce vs Chromate - idk if any of these two have a partner but chromate's good at this meta so he prob does
MnM: Kaif vs PociekMociek - mega kaif
Trademarked: Clas vs Jojen - clas is tl. he's also in law school so he knows a lot about trademarks
SP: vnmmv vs The Hisui Region - im assuming an entire region of pokemon has more power they can share amongst themselves
Forme: LB vs Swas - swas' name change was definitely an upgrade. i believe he's reached his final forme. however LB is too small of a name so i think they've changed forme way too many times.
ORAS PH: realExcaliju vs LycanrocWastaken - "lycanroc was taken" youre in ph there's no forme clause. gonna go for the one who hacked an actual sword into smogon

Noxious Nightshades (6) vs (2) Slashing Leaves
MnM: seraphz vs SpaceSpeakers - i flipped a coin

Forme: Tbp24 vs Greybaum - tbp is allegedly brown. as a fellow brown person i must show my solidarity. i apologize to greybaum
ORAS PH: Tanny89k vs sussyamongusdrip - i flipped a coin but both sides were heads bc im not bolding someone w/ that name
Camo: jb291 vs ghostlike - i flipped a coin

[GhastlyPixie]

Giga Genshin Impacters (4) vs (4) Zangetsu Zacians
GG: pannu vs XYStarshine
Both players are good but I give Pannu a slight edge here.
PiC: tkhanh vs Evie
I think Evie is generally the better clicker among the two.
MnM: QT vs zastra
Definitely a hype matchup but I give QT the edge here just cuz I think they can out click.
STAB: Tempo di anguria vs Fissure
I think Fissure is better.
Inheritance: Mindnight vs Treeko928
I give Treeko the edge here for clicking ability.
Trademarked: Ziek_Freek vs Plague
I think Ziek is more experienced in the tier.
Camo: Atha vs Mossy Sandwich
I think Atha clicks better.
Forme: GlalieGoesBoom vs Taka
Taka is generally just a better Ubers player imo so I give them the edge.

Heart Takers (5) vs (3) Grandiose Gracedias
BH: Ivar57 vs Rei
Ivar should outclick Rei.
PiC: yuki vs HiZo
I think Yuki generally builds and clicks better than Hizo. Hizo seems too set on finding these niche gimmick sets.
PiC: Cao Jie vs jasprose
I think Jasprose clicks better, I’ve never been overly impressed with the plays I’ve seen from Cao Jie.
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs Betticus IV
Betticus is just the better player.
Forme: kDCA vs about15gals
I think kd is better.
ORAS PH: NToTheN vs Electra102
Electra has definitely shown improvement in oras ph lately but I have to give the edge to N, Electra is not to be underestimated tho.
ORAS PH: SammyCe123 vs Ineros
Sammy clicks better I think.
Alphabet: Axzel vs RoFnA
Rofna clicks better.

MOCCing Machamps (3) vs (5) Prometeo Primeapes
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs Kinetic
I haven’t been very impressed with Rudi in stab recently so I’m giving Kinetic the edge.
PiC: crow crumbs vs Glory
Glory can pick up any tier quickly and can most likely out click.
PiC: LogIce vs Chromate
Chromate is the better player.
MnM: Kaif vs PociekMociek
I think Kaif clicks better.
Trademarked: Clas vs Jojen
Clas seems more experienced in the tier.
SP: vnmmv vs The Hisui Region
Giving vn the experience bold.
Forme: LB vs Swas
Swas is just good at Ubers tiers so I give them the edge.
ORAS PH: realExcaliju vs LycanrocWastaken
Lycan seems to be clicking and building better than Excaliju recently. Aerobee and Glory support is a big factor here as well.
