Partner Monothreat Tournament (PMT) - Season II
Approved by: Eien, Paleo, and Vid // Hosted by Ticken
Welcome to the reintroduction of PMT! Since the first season, found here, there have been numerous changes to the metagame ranging from new USUM Pokemon to more optimized sets and strategies. The name of the game is to find a partner that is willing and able to compete throughout the event and can assist in teambuilding/testing if needed. Each set is a bo3, example in the hide below, and it is the winner's responsibility to save and post a screenshot or the replay as proof of victory. A replay is highly preferred. This time around the teams will be seeded in an attempt to avoid high caliber matchups in early rounds and I will be assisted by Moosical during the seeding process. Any and all questions should be directed at me either on Pokemon Showdown! or on Discord. (You can easily find me on the Monotype Discord server). Each team is able to choose their own name but the forum mods and I have the right to reject or slightly modify inappropriate names or those that are unnecessarily long.
For simplicity, Team Mono vs. Team Threat is as followed:
Team #1: Team Mono
Player 1: Bulbasaur
Player 2: Chikorita
Team #2: Team Threat
Player 1: Charmander
Player 2: Cyndaquil
Based on the position of the players on the signup post, both Player 1's of each group will face off using the specified type for the round. Likewise for Player 2.
Team Mono vs. Team Threat
Bulbasaur vs. Charmander
Chikorita vs. Cyndaquil
Important: If both players on one team win, the set is won by the respective team. However, if each team has one win, both winners will face off either with the same or a new team to complete the bo3 set.
Team #1: Team Mono
Player 1: Bulbasaur
Player 2: Chikorita
Team #2: Team Threat
Player 1: Charmander
Player 2: Cyndaquil
Based on the position of the players on the signup post, both Player 1's of each group will face off using the specified type for the round. Likewise for Player 2.

Reused from the Monotype OM Mega Thread; Monothreat is a Monotype battle where both players use the same type. Given that both players are using the same type, they can build around very specific threats and run Pokémon that counter their own type. This leads to interesting developments, seeing Pokémon and sets be used that would not likely be seen otherwise in competitive Monotype play.
PMT Season II will follow the same rules as the first season and they are as followed:
- Each partnership must have a Smogon account for both participants. One participant may NOT, under any circumstances, play both, or all three matches for a single set.
- Ghosting is forbidden in each round and any obvious or blatant cases will have hefty consequences.
- Flaming from anyone in this thread is strictly prohibited. (The term "flaming" is essentially drama started by one or more parties.)
- Battles for future sets will not be counted until that set is live.
- Partners are not required to join every match but may spectate.
- Battles are to be done ONLY on the Main Pokemon Showdown! server or Smogtours server to count for this event. Replays or screenshots posted from an alternate server will not be counted.
The expected start date is Monday, August 20th, 2018!
