Records | Replays | Usage​

Rules
  • 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 captains know ASAP so they can communicate that to the host or the other team's captains for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag the host, the captains 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. Your win won't be counted without a replay

Vigilante Vigoroths (1) vs (1) Alt Girl Altarias
GSC: Lambovino vs BloodAce only saw 1 game of lambovino in gsc pu and it didnt impress me and i still rember how ace out played me in our last match and only lost because of bad luck
RBY: Sabelette vs AM sabel is one of if not the best rby lower tier players so i dont rate the chances high that she loses

The Gigantic Goletts (0) vs (2) M.A.A.D City Magby's
GSC: SANKE CARP vs BeeOrSomething still am of the opinion that bee is the best gsc pu player curently so go bee altough sanke is also good so i can see him winning especially because of b01
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs NotVeryCake think cake will win she demonstrated multiple times that she is one of the best rby lower tier players althought wanted is also quit good so i think it will be close
 
Predicts to hopefully encourage more predicts, WOO PUBD

:vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (4) vs (6) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:
SV: Gallinova vs Micciu -I have heard good things about Micciu so picked them
SV: Platum vs avarice -tough call, avarice is a good player but I rate Platum highly in current gen pu, glad he is getting a chance to start.
SS: 2xTheTap vs The Strap -2x may be more known for building rn, but I think he is a fine battler still and can win with meta knowledge diff. I rate the strap highly though
SM: Estarossa vs MZ -very tough call feels wrong not to bold mz in sm, but I rate estarossa as one of the best sm pu players due to his innovation and great play behind that innovation.
ORAS: BP vs asa - asa moment
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs Tack - tack has known credible history, excited for tizio bw debut though.
DPP: Xiri vs Heysup -maybe xiri will want to dpp and lock in but I just don't see him usually in this slot in pu tours
ADV: Oathkeeper vs nebi
GSC: Lambovino vs BloodAce - both good players, just gotta respect the gsc bloodace track record
RBY: Sabelette vs AM - I'm going with familiarity here idk rby well.

:articuno-galar: Psycho Scowlers (7) vs (3) Chungy Mongeys :ambipom:
SV: Metallica126 vs Larry -fun matchup, I rate Metallica veery highly though.
SV: Ampha vs Bouff - tough call but bouff is in their pricefixing era
SS: Kate vs TJ - another tough call, bolding kate due to more recent clicker success but tj could easily pop off this tour.
SM: sugar ovens vs Hacker - Hacker I rate highly as a sm clicker but sugar ovens is with estarossa in my sm tier list in my head
ORAS: Vulpix03 vs DugZa -dugza gonna win dishonestly (dugza seems goated as of late on the real)
BW: LpZ vs ninjadog - bw pu
DPP: gulch vs BeatsBlack -sorry bestie want to bold u but its beatsblack so prove me wrong instead.
ADV: Lily vs zoowi - Lily moment
GSC: torkonpeter vs LustfulLice - torkon has gsc support so he should do well this tour
RBY: DiannieRatson vs Maris Bonibell - tough call but going with rby main that everyone seemed to rate highly leading up to tour start.

Predicts. ZzZz

:articuno-galar: Psycho Scowlers (7) vs (3) Chungy Mongeys :ambipom:
SV: Metallica126 vs Larry
Hey this isn't gsc...I think Larry's lost, jokes aside I have Metallica favored here
SV: Ampha vs Bouff
Tough call so I'll just call it 50/50 and move on
SS: Kate vs TJ
I got yelled at for not knowing who Kate is so they must have unmatched prowess
SM: sugar ovens vs Hacker
Ik more about sugar ovens SM
ORAS: Vulpix03 vs DugZa
im never bolding dugza, i also just think pix has good odds
BW: LpZ vs ninjadog
BW PU

Zoowi is fire but..idk if he's quite this fire
GSC: torkonpeter vs LustfulLice

RBY: DiannieRatson vs Maris Bonibell
Woah.

:golett: The Gigantic Goletts (5) vs (5) M.A.A.D City Magby's :magby:
SV: tom holland vs Feliburn
When i found out tom was managing part of me died because it meant I couldn't buy him, seriously tho he keeps up w thus tier constantly and it'll show.
SV: SPHZ vs DripLegend
Not much to say sorry
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs robjr
Woosh!
SM: Thiago Nunes vs Kiyo
ORAS: etern vs ManOfMany
Many is SOOO dedicated

GSC: SANKE CARP vs BeeOrSomething
I think this is fairly even but who knows
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs NotVeryCake

I don’t know many of these names
But I enjoy losing money sometime on sport betting
This somehow transformed to esports
So go figure

Vigilante Vigoroths (4) vs (6) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:
SV: Gallinova vs Micciu don’t know much about these names but I saw lambo vouching early so its based on that
SV: Platum vs avarice, platinum seemingly promising and good player but can’t count Ava out
SS: 2xTheTap vs The Strap , x2 bro I didn’t know your account registered since 2007
Feels good to know I’m not the only person who grown grey hair around here , for that I’m picking you .

All joke aside x2 very powerful player and builder very creative and overall solid SS player but I can’t count the strap out of this either

SM: Estarossa vs MZ
Estarossa of love very solid so as MZ
I don’t know how much improvement esta have made over the years but going MZ
ORAS: BP vs asa all star assassin very cool user and good oras player probably the person I played the most in oras so I’m going with asa

BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs Tack going tack I don’t know much about tizio srry
DPP: Xiri vs Heysup (this a highlight game )
Both are very solid Xiri arguably one of the nicest lower tiers player of all times and one of the most decorated if not the most
But I’m gonna take page of Tom’s book and go heysup very powerful dpp player
FLIP COIN alert
ADV: Oathkeeper vs nebi
GSC: Lambovino vs BloodAce
RBY: Sabelette vs AM

:articuno-galar: Psycho Scowlers (6) vs (4) Chungy Mongeys :ambipom:
SV: Metallica126 vs Larry
SV: Ampha vs Bouff I feel like this pretty even but going bouff
SS: Kate vs TJ ,Tj is very goated SS and pu player overall hard to bet against him especially in this tier but this definitely a game I’m looking forward to watch
SM: sugar ovens vs Hacker ,sugar have improved a lot over the years but definitely interesting game .
ORAS: Vulpix03 vs DugZa I’m gonna go with vulpix both are very powerful player but I known pix as player since oras very good team builder too .
BW: LpZ vs ninjadog both are solid but lpz just too nice
DPP: gulch vs BeatsBlack out of name familiarity
ADV: Lily vs zoowi going Lilly here
Coin flip
GSC: torkonpeter vs LustfulLice
RBY: DiannieRatson vs Maris Bonibell

:golett: The Gigantic Goletts (3) vs (7) M.A.A.D City Magby's :magby:
SV: tom holland vs Feliburn I like Tom ,he used to sent me fun teams in the past but gotta go with feli , feli is one of the most goated lower tier players extremely skilled battler but sv doing a good job in negating few aspect of that ,so this can go either way
SV: SPHZ vs DripLegend (coin flip )
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs robjr
Seeing for how much OBB10 went for is very alerting of how much they possibly improved since the last time I saw them play and that’s like 3 years
But I’m going with Robjr still
SM: Thiago Nunes vs Kiyo
ORAS: etern vs ManOfMany manofmany very solid oras player but this definitely tough call to make
BW: Cow vs EviGaro going with evi
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin vs Drud both are very solid
ADV: Plague vs Quarante8
GSC: SANKE CARP vs BeeOrSomething
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs NotVeryCake

i have free time so i just wanted to have little fun with this , I will definitely have more materials in the up coming weeks to formulate my opinion on
If I made prediction again ,if I didn’t then see ya in more 3 /4 years
Good luck
 
gulchdicts: the reckoning

:vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (3) vs (7) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:
SV: Gallinova vs Micciu - gallinova is very good but i don't know how much sv pu he's played. meanwhile micciu is also very good and has played sv pu in recent memory. if vigs can get gallinova up to speed this is definitely gonna be close though.
SV: Platum vs avarice - avarice? in the volatile offense based meta? oh god, they've sent platum to die.
SS: 2xTheTap vs The Strap - tap is older and possibly rusty but i also have 0 clue where strap's knowledge of ss pu is at. i'll throw the vigs a bone.
SM: Estarossa vs MZ - bolding against mz feels really bad but estarossa did put up some ridiculous numbers in this tier last PUPL and has consistently been innovating in the builder. that aside, this has the potential to be one of the best games we see all season and i WILL be there.
ORAS: BP vs asa - no clue where bp's oras is at as i've only seen him play tiers that feature on one-screen nintendo handhelds. both players have some of the best support you could ask for though, so at least we can count on the teams being good.
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs Tack - tack is goated, nuff said. not sure how much tizio knows about this tier, nor am i really sure where he's getting his sauce from. if he's making it himself, lord have mercy on us all.
DPP: Xiri vs Heysup - forcing phil and vy to deal with heysup scheduling during their first week ever as managers should count as cruel and unusual punishment. that aside, this should be a good game, but giving the edge to heysup. also, dear vigs front office, why is the circuit winner not in sv?
ADV: Oathkeeper vs nebi - he won an individual playing this and i don't think i've ever seen oath touch it
GSC: Lambovino vs BloodAce - he had a productive gscpl season playing this
RBY: Sabelette vs AM - probably top rby based on knowledge alone, but this tier is so new and volatile that any of these games could go any way really

:golett: The Gigantic Goletts (6) vs (4) M.A.A.D City Magby's :magby:
SV: tom holland vs Feliburn - tom has been much more involved in pu as of late but feli is a good player, so a lot of this will depend on how fast the mags can get feli caught up. if he's scared, tom can always go low and force the sub by sending feli an ip grabber link.
SV: SPHZ vs DripLegend - the inverse of the above, however, seraphz has more recent experience (played last pupl) and i generally trust the cooks in the goletts kitchen more here. this is definitely closer than it looks though.
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs robjr - rob? in ss? i mean, looking at the draft it makes sense, but i was robbed of tnunes vs robjr? cmon, man.
SM: Thiago Nunes vs Kiyo - tnunes w etern and tom support is gonna COOK, holy
ORAS: etern vs ManOfMany - when was the last time etern played oras??
BW: Cow vs EviGaro - cow thoroughly impressed me when i was spectating them in pupl and evi kinda had a bummer of a season. this is gonna be a super hype game though, very excited
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin vs Drud - also another casual insane highlight, jabba is amazing but drud's the winningest pu player for a reason and this is his house
ADV: Plague vs Quarante8 - i know the player on the left. i do not know the player on the right. the player on the left is very good.
GSC: SANKE CARP vs BeeOrSomething - if you can convince sanke to care this is close but lol
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs NotVeryCake - cake is generally more proven but wanted does know his stuff and i'm always seeing ppl shout him out as a new rby mind so my eyes are peeled
 
:vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (4) vs (6) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:
SV: Gallinova vs Micciu Galli is my dog, but needs to prove himself in SV whereas Micciu had a good WC and has Asa and Meri support in the builder
SV: Platum vs avarice Avarice is very well proven in SV and will probably bring something crazy HO which is usually a good bet in SV
SS: 2xTheTap vs The Strap he wins a lot in these SS side tour slots
SM: Estarossa vs MZ I’ll go with Esta who had a great pupl
ORAS: BP vs asa I don’t know if I’ve seen Asa play an old gen but I also haven’t seen bp play oras yet, this will be fun but Asa is overall the more accomplished player
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs Tack He loads crack and I think that could help him catch Tack off guard
DPP: Xiri vs Heysup extremely highlight matchup, anyone who tells you they have more than a 55-45 guess on who’s winning or what mons we will see is lying to you and themselves
ADV: Oathkeeper vs nebi very solid adv player and the only player I’ve seen that can out luck me
GSC: Lambovino vs BloodAce ok so I was looking through old pu SCL replays and WTF LAMBO SS’d IN SCL AND ISNT STARTING THERE NOW? I’m going to go with BAce for his experience here and partially in protest that we are not seeing LAMBO SS gaming
RBY: Sabelette vs AM Sabalette is one of the rby top dogs and I’m sure will be very motivated to build a fresh meta

:golett: The Gigantic Goletts (6) vs (4) M.A.A.D City Magby's :magby:
SV: tom holland vs Feliburn being gay in PU tiers is an extreme power level multiplier, AND Tom is popping off recently as is. That said, Feliburn is too experienced to really get caught off guard by whatever tech Tom has, and is one of the best players in this tour. This Feli is probably the best opponent Tom has faced since unretiring.
SV: SPHZ vs DripLegend another close matchup but I’m rooting for my boy drip and PU is probably his best 6v6 tier whereas seraphz is probably playing 15 other tours right now
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs robjr Rob is the better overall player but this is Obb in their element and I think he‘s hungry for a win.
SM: Thiago Nunes vs Kiyo Nunes is scary no matter what the tier but he even Bo3’d in an absolutely monstrous pupl pool (EDIT: fucking sniped by Nunes gdi)
ORAS: etern vs ManOfMany the last time etern played oras pu was during the Obama years apparently? Did I hear that right?
BW: Cow vs EviGaro given her experience in the tier, I assume evi will be less reliant on team support and more comfortable in the first week even if cow is a great bwer
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin vs Drud I believe jabba had the better pupl record if I’m wrong then oops
ADV: Plague vs Quarante8 plague has decent experience in this tier but Quarante8 has aurist supporting them, I think this is probably close but I rate plague highly as a player
GSC: SANKE CARP vs BeeOrSomething I like the banter these two have together and it would be funnier for SANKE to win
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs NotVeryCake Cake has a better in-game in rby to my knowledge, but this being a brand new tier could come down to who out-builds the other and keys into the meta fastest.
