Tournament OMPL XIV - Week Two

Rex · May 25, 2026

It is recommended to play all games on SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. Games can be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server, but run higher risk of interference from server restarts/crashes.

Scheduling

Scheduling should be done on Smogon Profile walls, plain and simple:

- If there is communication on only one user's behalf, the win will go to them. Feel free to call activity in this thread beforehand

- If there is a very healthy back and forth regarding potential times and one user is a no-show, a manager may take the opportunity to sub out the no-show competitor; if this is not done, the user that showed up responsibly will be awarded the win.

TL;DR: Post on your opponent's Smogon wall, schedule your matches, and be reliable. If you can't play for any reason, let your manager know so they can sub you out ASAP.

Sportsmanship

Exhibitions of unsportsmanlike conduct with regards to the Other Metagame Premier League will be met with an infraction at the discretion of the OMPL host/OM mods. This is unlikely to include interactions within a team's private chat unless there is reason found to make an exception. This rule is meant to protect other users from being publicly flamed/bashed/provoked by another competitor for the duration of and following the tournament.

All players must complete their matches by the given deadline. Any incomplete matches by that time will be subject to an activity decision (MAKE SURE YOU POST ON YOUR OPPONENT'S WALL); otherwise, it will be a deadgame. All matches should ideally be done on your most notable alt to avoid confusion and all match replays must be saved and posted in this thread.

Substitutions & Lineups

Managers, if you wish to make any substitutions, you must post here tagging both the player you're subbing out, the player you're subbing in, the manager and assistant manager of the opposing team, the substitute's opponent, and all of the hosts. This is to assure that everyone is in-the-loop and that the OP is updated accordingly to reflect the new match-up.

Managers, when you send in lineups, please send it in with the tier and Smogon username of each player fully written out for ease of transcription.

yuki · May 25, 2026

0/3 on predicts last week, the only thing I got right was calling Chris would send me that fucking picture of Cuomo. If I predict for you, good fucking luck

LogIce vs SeaLife - Provided he doesn't time out, I think he'll win this. I didn't particularly like either team these players brought week 1, but I liked the idea of Rilla Spectrier in practice and I guess that's an acceptable use of Comfey.
Chromate vs tkhanh - I will never predict against Chromate.
Chris31256 vs Frixel - Frixel, I swear if you get me another Cuomo picture sent to me, you're blocked.

Ren · May 25, 2026

:machamp: MOCCing Machamps (4) vs (4) Speiraskia Specters :marshadow:

The only predictions I am sure of is Clem and the second consecutive 8-0. Those are both definitely happening, otherwise I am old and bad

cheru · May 25, 2026

Hey I’m just gonna do a few tidbits on last weeks pic games. Please let me know if you want this done weekly cause I might not have time later on as I will be busier this summer. Also not gonna do predicts cause I will more than likely just get it wrong anyway…

:gholdengo: NinjaSnapple vs LogIce :kommo-o:

We have our game that cause the hosts to have an aneurysm over playing the games in main. Game starts off pretty normally as Log goes for the Trick Room angle with P2 and Hands. T6 Apple makes an heads up play with her Landorus, clicking Tera Steel and Nasty Plot since the Iron Hands is either going to be forced out because Trick Room ends the next turn or click Ice Punch, allowing her to get the ball rolling. T8 LogIce makes a nice play and calls the protect on Lando and takes out the Ninetales too. But next turn, she’s able to get double genies in and then she starts to shred through half of the team. Even a double attack with Triage Drain Punch from hands isn’t able to take out Lando and it gets cleaned up. Log tries his best to get another chance to prevent Tailwind but Apple is able to set it up again and it’s another uphill battle, this time prevented by timeout. There was a possibility that he could have won with misses but it’s playing the odds too much and ultimately wasn’t meant to be.

:machamp: Chromate vs Idyll :charizard:

Idyll seems favored in this matchup, as they not only have rain to block out Veil, Brick Break even when it gets up, and Wide Guard for double genies. Chromate tries to break through with CM Bolt, Kyurem, And Focus Energy Hearthpon, but they get shut down by Light Screen, Roar, and Encore from Archaludon and Uxie. Chrom manages to find a way to break through with Kyurem on Pelipper and Uxie, letting him switch the Ninetales in freely and break through Archaludon and Tornadus with Blizzard. This puts Idyll on the back foot. Chrome baits the Encore on Raging Bolt T15, switching in Alolatales to let Ogerpon nearly take out Uxie. Idyll’s Waterpon gets both frozen and crit on T18, but going into that, the momentum already swung so far in the other direction and it was over and Chromate takes the win.

:tatsugiri: Chris32156 vs SeaLife :glimmora:

This game is basically why I hate Unaware Clef so much in this tier and it rolls such an amazing matchup as well since it is partnered with Volcanion to nearly invalidate the Walking Wake. SeaLife also wasn’t able to really stop Encore either, so in order to preserve Wake, they’d just end up getting double targeted in the other slot Not much else to say in this as Chris gets a very lucky Draco Meteor dodge on his Tornadus, which basically shuts down SeaLife’s opportunity to set up the Trick Room and the game is basically over.

:annihilape: anakaios vs tkhanh :marshadow:

Games like this are why I love pic so much. anakaios leads with Chien Pao and Gapdos to get the counter lead vs what he assumes is Regidrago and Farigiraf. tkhanh then reads this and leads Torkoal and Raging Bolt. After seeing the lead, tkhanh switches in CHLOROPHYLL Whimsicott, letting Bolt outspeed and then smokes the Gapdos and Pao to next century with Tera Fire Eruption, while tanking the Crash. What I like about Chlorophyll > Prankster is it it lets the Farig use the slower encore when needed too and not worry and help with the Sunroom aspect of it. After that ana tries to play his outs with Entei but it’s not enough and Regidrago cleans up in Trick Room.

Chessking · May 26, 2026

Brief BH Reviews + Predicts
These are short ramblings because I don't want to burn out again writing these. I can be critical but hey shittalking are what these are for right.

FlamPoke vs rightclicker

FlamPoke: Specs Diancie + some hazards with Ghostceus
rightclicker: I genuinely don't know how this team intends to win
This game really didn't feel interesting. rightclicker brought a TTTech-esque team except it really has no wincons: setup less Flutter never wins, Steelceus with an ability that doesn't help it offensively never wins, and theres nothing to keep hazards up. Yet, somehow, the team is also flawed defensively, as seen by Specs Diancie having pressure through 3 resists, no Knock Spikes Ghostceus answer, and no Mortal PDon answer. With crushing matchup game is pretty straightforward.

pdt vs TTTech

pdt: Band Gren + sapblock Pert
TTTech: Axe Diancie + ...toxic spikes?
The pert set gives away the Akira build immediately (and even without copying I think the set is an easy guess). Other sets include "fishing for no Cloak LeviDon or some other shit like Levi Etern" AV Don and the big Mold Don bait Steam Steelceus. TTTech matches this with "Toxic Spikes Mortal Spin" PDon. Genuinely awful. The critical events of this is pdt getting hasty with Etern on knocked Steela, failing to KO through a crit, and getting paralyzed. Later Tech risks PDon for no reason against revealed FC Etern (didnt calc?) and gets extra bailed for miss. Etern being low means Gren is no longer improofed and with pert later being low Waterceus wins. Hard to say if the misses actually mattered that much though since PDon wasnt a crucial part of the gameplan after.

Quinn vs XxLazzerpenguinxX

Quinn: SG Mold Don
XxLazzerpenguinxX: A bunch of potential wincons ft. Norm Lunala
Just from these teams you can tell neither player are actually getting support from their team, since Quinn completely forgot Take Heart in general, while there is no universe Hallward (yes even Hallward) would actually approve Norm Lunala and Flip Axe Diancie. Game wasn't too interesting, Mold Don won, TSpikes won, Ghostceus stopped Lunala from doing things, Diancie walled because it doesn't do anything into resists. The only issue is Quinn let Kyogre start doing things because they brought no setup counterplay, but gets bailed through speed tie because the Kyogre is not Timid for some reason.

Betticus IV vs Osake

Betticus IV: Hazards with NP Dialga-O
Osake: Specs Diancie with webs
Betticus recreates cityscapes Open team, and proceeds to make abhorrent change including Rapid Spin Stone Axe AV Don (its STABless and pivotless, you literally cannot make this up), but is saved from worse set of week due to a certain abomination later. The game was somewhat interesting. Osake missed reads with Specs Steam Diancie to establish early pressure (read is necessary since Knocker is Palk so AV Don never gets knocked). Earth Judg DiaO then baits in Osake's Don and removes the only removal, from there with healthy team Betticus can't lose especially with Scales DiaO and Unaware Kyogre.

quojova vs GhastlyPixie

quojova: Debris Don with NP Ghostceus
GhastlyPixie: Some Diancie set with unrevealed support
Toxic Spikes wins and Ghostceus also wins and so with both the game ends turn 20, especially with Pixie's only wincon attempt made neutered by Topsy Etern. Not much to comment.

damflame 3 vs RoFnA

damflame 3: Plate Diancie with Knock Spikes Ghostceus
RoFnA: A bunch of potential wincons
damflame loads exotic-in-2026 Pokemon Miraidon, while RoFnA answers the question of what Charizard's BH support has been doing with the very signature dual bird improofed by sapblocker, in this case the vanilla Diancie. I didn't follow the game too closely due to coinciding with QT Sammy, but clicking through turns RoFnA seems to be agitated and loses a good wincon in Steelceus. Presumably its due to team being weak to opposing Ghostceus with what looks to be mono removal PDon, and I'm sure having supposed PDon check Mence be unable to punish it doesn't help. PDon then goes down shortly after, but Ho-Oh looks good due to hard improofed and Mirai able to be sapblocked. RoFnA misses a read to kill Mirai though and is forced to trade Diancie for it, which renders Ho-Oh useless due to Imposter. Imposter at this point goes crazy with Salt Regi support.

Ivar57 vs Treeko928

Ivar57: Looks like Scarf Steely Kartana
Treeko928: Band Tinted Kartana with webs
Ivar's team felt awkward, as double Primal regen means very weak to residual damage, and Kartana being fake Steel gives free spin opportunities for Treeko, something thats very devastating with Webs + Kartana (since Treeko can trade Webs against Imp and then easily remove). Ghostceus alone poses positioning problems, and after a bold call to use Kartana to spinblock it reveals the set and Ivar now really needs to keep webs off. Things go worse with Etern tricking Sludge for AV, which makes it a more solid answer to Take Heart Ghosty. Ivar's team really doesn't have good wincon atp and concedes after another bold spinblock from Kartana.

SammyCe123 vs QT

SammyCe123: LO Diancie with Band Tinted Kartana
QT: SG Mold Don with like no support
Immediately Sammy wins worst set of the week with "☆QT: regen, salt cure court change haze teleport" Etern. QT immediately makes a read that Sammy is not +SpA Specs Diancie (only way to reliably OHKO Giratina) and gets it poisoned before going to safe wall FC Steelceus. VD DesoDon does not win against FC Korai. Take Heart Sword Ghostceus is reasonably threatening forcing damage on Ting for each phaze attempt. Palkia revealing Take Heart also looks promising except it doesn't actually have a Dragon move so it gets farmed by Giratina of all things. Lefties revealed also means QT's PDon wins immediately. Band Kartana does pick up a kill first, though it may be a deliberate sack to give PDon setup opportunity (Korai revealing AS later as a counter). SG Don picks up 2 kills as Sammy plays around it the best he could to get in range of Diancie Espeed, but with his own PDon dead Imp claims 2 kills and its gg. Ghostceus unable to win against Ting Gira Korai as it is not MG (Unaware?) and Kartana walled by Korai and not enough Sunsteel PP.

Last week got 13-11 honestly could be a lot worse
Gholden Witches (3) vs (5) Charming Charizzards
AAA: shiloh vs ghostlike
ghostlike brought cool Corro Okidogi last week, but got farmed by STail (into a team with a Stail spammer) and stack because tusk can't remove. shiloh's team looked pretty basic. Results from last week suggests Charizards prep was off?
BH: FlamPoke vs XxLazzerpenguinxX
FlamPoke's team looked fine. Sevag's did not. Think it would be more close if Hallward actually gets feedback in but I would probably still favour FlamPoke.
Camo: Maxomega vs betathunder
Apparently Siamato is out after just 1 week, Charizards still have luxurious Camo building though. Maxomega's team looked interesting but as a rather offensive team he got farmed momentum wise by a bulkier team.
GG: about15gals vs Shadow079
I don't know who built the team but Reshiram is kind of heat, piloting not so much. New players on both sides though, so rather unknown. Edit: apparently i never bolded a mu but based on my prediction scores i guess i bolded right side
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs qways
I will say I'm not that familiar with qways. Charizards bringing stall week 1 either is lack of good builds or confidence or could be prep. ChrisPBacon had a good game though playing to his outs.
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs yuki
Idk if yuki is that much invested, but NinjaSnapple loaded a sample, so I'm going to bold yuki who probably won't do that.
STAB: One Last Kiss vs Clem
Both players loaded standard-looking offenses? I'll give it to Clem who seems to still be ok with the tier, and also didn't unlist replay and not relist later.
Bo3: pdt vs Osake
pdt put up a close match against Tech but is forgetting mechanics like Fairy immune to Dragon and Dark immune to Prankster. That being said BH is like very favoured for them given Charizards BH. AAA their team looked dubious though, so coming down to MnM one side is unfamiliar with stuff while the other side is reusing teams... If Charizards actually know who to prep against and do prep I think they are favoured marginally. Close match.

Ao No Hakamo-o (5) vs (3) Noxious Nightshades
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs adriancosmoem
I didn't look too deeply into adrian's team since he just sweeped. O1 bringing matte stall is disappointing though even if it was "prep".
BH: rightclicker vs GhastlyPixie
Both players had subpar performances last week and teams suggest absence of team support. I think Pixie is favoured though because idk whats going on with rightclicker loading teams that doesn't fit his style.
Camo: jb291 vs Itoshiflwr
jb had a pretty good game both team and play. Itoshiflwr gave us a fireworks game but the team is just the sample sun with wake over bolt which suggests not that much support.
GG: Nashrock vs DragonPhoenix333
DPs team was cool but I didn't understand a lot of plays and Nashrock had a good game outside of not playing around burn I guess.
MnM: zastra vs Tempo di anguria
Im still bolding zastra after monumental throw help.
PiC: LogIce vs SeaLife
I really don't know I think this is rather close and I'm basing on the vibes i had with the teams.
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs The Strap
Strap won but that team looks insane and maybe not in that good of a way. Maybe people will prep for this mon that everyone is complaining about.
Bo3: TTTech vs RoFnA
TTTechs teams looked actually horrible. RoFnA might need more BH support than Charizard guy though.

Commanders (4) vs (4) Rage Fist and Furious
AAA: mielke vs Swas
Was not that big of a fan of presumably box passed team.
BH: quojova vs Ivar57
quojova seems more adapted to the tier than Ivar.
Camo: Mossy Sandwich vs fakenagol
Mossy team already won, so if piloted by the original builder should be better right? fakenagol also seems to not be that familiar by sacking to PZ with a Ting in the back?
GG: entrocefalo vs pannu
I felt like entro's plays were messy and got kind of bailed, if pannu actually shows up he should be favoured. However his sub also didn't end up loading a new team so i dont even know if he prepped last time.
MnM: hayedenn vs Glory
Glory in MnM? Not bad but hayedenn is pretty good. Pretty close I think comes down to matchup.
PiC: Chris32156 vs Frixel
Frixel seems to not be that invested, I think Chris's game was clean but I don't want to look at it too much.
STAB: seth vs sky
I don't think I particularly liked either teams teams last week but considering one was an early week game and sky historically being potent here I'll assume Sammy's pass will be better.
Bo3: damflame 3 vs SammyCe123
Sammys BH build not a fan, AAA I think I favour Sammy, and MnM damflame had a good game while Sammy got farmed by psysurge but historically Sammy has been stronger there I think

GhastlyPixie · May 26, 2026

:gholdengo: Gholden Witches (5) vs (3) Charming Charizzards :charizard:
AAA: shiloh vs ghostlike
I think both players preform well but I am more partial to the team building and clicks from Ghostlike.
BH: FlamPoke vs XxLazzerpenguinxX
FlamPoke is bad at the game but normalize Lunala is unforgivable.
Camo: Maxomega vs betathunder
I have faith in the camo finalist here over beta, definitely could go either way.
GG: about15gals vs Shadow079
I remember shadow doing well last week, about is not to be underestimated in gg tho. This really can go either way.
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs qways
I don’t remember qways and Chris did alright last week.
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs yuki
Last time I saw Yuki play pic, their motivation was low, if that remains the same this tour is to be decided. For now, I favor ninjasnapple.
STAB: One Last Kiss vs Clem
I think OLK generally outclicks but Clem might get a good mu.
Bo3: pdt vs Osake
PDT is very capable but I think Osake is more in tune with the current OM setting, I maybe favor pdt in BH tho.

:machamp: MOCCing Machamps (2) vs (6) Speiraskia Specters :marshadow:
AAA: Kinetic vs Greybaum
Kinetic has done very well lately and I feel Greybaum tilts easier, building wise I also just favor Kinetic plus Betticus support is nice.
BH: Quinn vs QT
Not a lot to say here. Best BH player vs someone with minimal support who needs the support.
Camo: The Hisui Region vs Clas
This can go either way but I definitely favor Clas as long as he doesn’t give up mid match.
GG: Mindnight vs XYStarshine
Mind is good but I’m not sure who the support is while Starshine is very self sufficient and extremely capable in GG.
MnM: seraphz vs TKYSZL
Both very good players but I think Seraphz needs more support.
PiC: Chromate vs tkhanh
For clicking ability I will bold Chromate but TK can potentially outprep.
STAB: Baddy vs volcanionisgood
Volcanion did good last week and idr what baddy loaded.
Bo3: Betticus IV vs Treeko928
I favor Betticus for AAA but I just don’t see the mnm or bh support which leaves me to favor treeko.

:tatsugiri: Commanders (4) vs (4) Rage Fist and Furious :annihilape:
AAA: mielke vs Swas
Swas is an insane clicker tbh, recently won two indiv tours that I’m aware of and has Glory support.
BH: quojova vs Ivar57
I think Quojova has more sound ideas in the current meta but I can see this going either way.
Camo: Mossy Sandwich vs fakenagol
I think mossy has better prep and clicks.
GG: entrocefalo vs pannu
I hate to bold Pannu here but Pannu is generally a more sound GG builder and is likely more self sufficient in this tier.
MnM: hayedenn vs Glory
This one can go either way depending on what team Glory is passed but Hayedenn will prep a good team which leads me to favor them.
PiC: Chris32156 vs Frixel
I don’t know either of these two well but I know Frixel is very proficient in doubles.
STAB: seth vs sky
Didn’t really pay attention to either players games last week cuz I was in a call but sky felt better to me from what I remember.
Bo3: damflame 3 vs SammyCe123
Damflame is probably favored for BH and I think is more proficient in mnm, not sure who is better at aaa but this can go either way.

XYStarshine · May 26, 2026

3-0 last week!lets see if i can keep the momentum
(if i bold against you and/or make you feel bad i apologize)
:gholdengo:about15gals(45) vs (55)Shadow079:charizard:
about is experienced in ndgg and know stuffs in gg, with support like pyu? ig teambuilding wont be an issue; while atha(maybe also ghostlike i forgot that they did a nice open run hmmmm) can provide a great team for charizards. since both sides have good teambuilding skills i think the result will depends on who clicks better.

:kommo-o:Nashrock(60) vs (40)DragonPhoenix333:glimmora:
nash brought some interesting set and performed greatly last week, further boosts their aura. DP ~~brought harcanine last week yay~~ seems have issue in clicking, hope to see them figure it out and strike back

:tatsugiri:entrocefalo(40) vs (60)pannu:annihilape:
i like the team entroce brought last week, showed their interesting meta understanding. however its pannu standing against them, a strong gg player without doubt, if they dont unfortunately mess up schedule again im sure theyll get this.

:kommo-o: Ao No Hakamo-o (7) vs (1) Noxious Nightshades :glimmora:
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs adriancosmoem - we didn't see a lot from both players last week, O1V brought lazy prep and got punished while adriancosmoem brought good prep and won. I don't think they'll be able to have such an easy 6-0 against O1V though, but I'm down to see what they have in the bag against a better opp
BH: rightclicker vs GhastlyPixie - Both players got stomped quite hard last week, but until proven wrong, I still rate rightclicker higher in BH for now
Camo: jb291 vs Itoshiflwr - jb brought a good team, itoshi had an interesting prep but Mossy outplayed really well. I wouldn't say itoshi played it bad, Mossy just got every turn correct and that's well played. With the data I have now, I'll still favor jb here
GG: Nashrock vs DragonPhoenix333 - Not an impressive game by Nashrock last week even though they won ; I'm not a fan either of how DP333 played their game last week, but their team was cool and I still liked their plays more
MnM: zastra vs Tempo di anguria - zastra made one of the chokes of all time last week but eh, it happens. They played it well until then. Facing hayedenn for w1 was a tough matchup for Tempo, but they also made some big mistakes (like mega evolving barbaraclite boulder against dnite :D). Closed pairing but I think zastra will want to prove we should all forget what happened last week and bounce back
PiC: LogIce vs SeaLife - both lost and I don't know PiC. My PiC expert told me LogIce was good at the game, so ig i'll trust them
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs The Strap - The Strap made a comeback so insane that Ren even thought he lost ; however, until then, I didn't like too much their team and plays, meanwhile rudi brought a better prep and won somewhat easily
Bo3: TTTech vs RoFnA - not a huge fan of how both players played last week but RoFnA brought a BH team no one in their team made so I'm bolding tttech

:machamp: MOCCing Machamps (1) vs (7) Speiraskia Specters :marshadow:
AAA: Kinetic vs Greybaum - I'll bold Greybaum until he doesn't bring a fire team - wtf was that last week lol ?
BH: Quinn vs QT - Quinn brought a team 6-0'd by setup and got bailed by slow Kyogre + Normalize Lunala ; idt they have what it takes to take down QT
Camo: The Hisui Region vs Clas - better player if they show up to the game
GG: Mindnight vs XYStarshine - one french player out for another french player in ; starshine is a strong opp but Mind is good too, I believe in him
MnM: seraphz vs TKYSZL - honestly very good game of TKYSZL last week ; seraphz got stalled though so I'm curious to see them play against more regular teams
PiC: Chromate vs tkhanh - hype matchup ; I really liked tkhanh game last week (even if it was against someone who has never played the tier) while Chromate got a bit lucly - I still believe in them, but for the first (and prob last) time, I'll bold against them
STAB: Baddy vs volcanionisgood - volcanion is good
Bo3: Betticus IV vs Treeko928 - Atha complained so many times that he should have bought Treeko over me cuz he's the goat etc etc and unfortunately he is kinda right. He is prob better than me at prep too and maybe won't brought public teams or mono pdon removal BH teams

:tatsugiri: Commanders (4) vs (4) Rage Fist and Furious :annihilape:
AAA: mielke vs Swas - mielke did not have a good team last week and did not play it well either ; idk what to expect from Swas but they've played AAA multiple times in OMFL and have pretty good AAA backup
BH: quojova vs Ivar57 - quojova is goated and Ivar is washed
Camo: Mossy Sandwich vs fakenagol - Mossy had a super impressive game last week, fakenagol did not ; pretty clear to me
GG: entrocefalo vs pannu - game is over and entro smoked pannu but I would've bolded pannu so I'm keeping it
MnM: hayedenn vs Glory - I think hayedenn might be my 2nd favorite OM player to watch, and it is only bc cityscapes exists. I won't bold against them ever
PiC: Chris32156 vs Frixel - Strong win by Chris and Frixel didn't show up - it's pic anyway I'm doing those randomly
STAB: seth vs sky - close game by seth, but sky (who apparently is avarice) used to be a good stabmons player so I'm bolding them
Bo3: damflame 3 vs SammyCe123 - apparently Sammy is playing early, and I'm rewarding him with a bold. Please continue to do that

i hope they go 0-8 again though, it would be hilarious af
