Welcome to the finals of Pokémon Showdown Premier League IX!

The format is simple: there are eight groups of four teams, and within each group, round robin matches take place in which every team faces one another once. After three weeks, the teams will be ranked according to a point system - 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. The top two from each group advance to the playoffs. Thereafter, the Top 16 Playoffs will be conducted in knockout format until a winner is decided in the finals, with the succession being top 16 -> quarterfinals -> semifinals -> finals. Replays are encouraged but not mandatory. For following weeks, if managers don't submit any changes to us, the lineups will stay the same throughout the tournament. All basic tournament rules apply. Please take a moment to read these, ESPECIALLY if you are new to forum tournaments.
  • Sportsmanship: Don't be an ass. Not to your opponents, not to your team, not on PS, not on Smogon, not to us hosts. This includes spectators in battles as well, using /modchat + as the player in a battle should stop such if it happens. The punishment for this could be a forum infraction or disqualification. Think before you type, please.
  • Activity wins and scheduling: Contact your opponent as quickly as possible on their Smogon wall, and look out for them on PS too. Unfortunately, We'll have to make some activity calls - We'll be making these based on activity posts (make these detailed, please, and explain why you deserve an activity win) and VM conversations, so be active and schedule as early as you can with your opponent. If neither party makes an activity post, we'll declare unplayed games as dead games. Use VMs and you will be fine. No extensions, sorry.
  • Disconnections and timer: A timer loss is a loss. No ifs, no buts. If you disconnect and your opponent's nice enough to replay that's fine, but they're free to take the win.
  • Substitutions: Managers, you're free to sub in players for inactive ones for room auth or a non-auth if you have a slot available. Substitutions have to be made by a manager or a room owner.

Deadline: Sunday July the 4th, 11:59PM GMT -4

Reminder: Random Battle follows a best-of-3 format and SS 1v1 follows a best-of-5 format
If there is an issue or an error please contact Kalalokki, Teclis and Mitsuki as soon as possible.

And there we are, after all this time. I've had the chance to staff with both sides across the years and on a personal level I could hardly have hoped for a better final showdown (although a Pex custom avatar does look kinda scary). Good luck everyone! :heart:

and don't forget to post your replays please!

Finding this light that we are all looking for will only make it shine if we share it with everyone because seeing the world in a state of darkness will be meaningless. :Litwick: ~

:Cubone: Here we are, the final fight ... The ultimate bulwark that separates us from our destiny. In a philosophical side the extinction of the life of a human allows us to live a little longer because if diseases, accidents, natural disasters do not exist we would be too many on this earth and suffering would only be greater ... Our life is only a succession of choices and sometimes for us to be able to live another must perish ... One day we will know a world where there will be only winners. :Kangaskhan:

Thank you for your attention :

We are coming to the end of this tournament, now is the time for us to say goodbye but before leaving I would like to make a little speech. :Gengar:

First of all, I would like to remind the names of France of our great friendship with the many countries and the many players who have come from all over the world to participate in this tournament. We come together to share and bond with players from all over the world without war or hatred but here to play together.

Now in a more personal way. There are so many thanks to give that we will be there again tomorrow so generally thank you all for your participation, your efforts and your superb fights. You must understand that even if you do not emerge victorious from a battle your name will not be forgotten. We are writing our story here and now and leaving an everlasting imprint in the world of Pokémon.

Thank you also for posting your replays and allowing me to be legendary forever. There is bound to be a bit of sadness in the goodbyes because we will all be dispersed afterwards but here and now we will always be together.

:Kingler: Thank you all and see you soon ! :Kingler:

after thinking long and hard , ill be cheering for the ou room. despite a member of the team being my mortal enemy, finchinator. it doesnt change the fact multiple of my friends are playing. this was a very hard choice, made even harder by the fact finchinator has ignored my text messages to unban moody for months.

Quick question, since Blaziken is suspected tested down in national dex (it wasn't allowed before), is it going to be allowed in the PSPL round? I assume yes but wanted to make sure

There is no reason for it to be allowed as it is not officially part of the tier while Suspected down. In addition, even if it had become part of NatDex OverUsed, changes happening after the start of a tournament round are only in effect from the next round onwards by default.
