Administrative Decisions | Replays | Usages | Spreadsheet

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.​

aight so: nickname quality based predicts

:goodra: Goofy Goober Goodras (0) vs (0) m.A.A.d. City Magmortars :magmortar:
SV: sufys vs Skarpherim I dont know if his nick is supposed to mean smth but it visually looks better than sufys
SV: cen344uu vs Andyboy I fw with the nicknames simmetry a lot.
SV: Hiko vs kyuss kyuss isnt a bad nickname by any mean but Hiko just sounds so good.
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Dj Breloominati♬ if it wasnt for the musical note this might have been a tie but I have to give it to dj.
SM: btboy vs pdt sonority wise btboy is really goated and pdt always reminded me to much of “pdf”
ORAS: ishtar vs Killintime sounds tuffer
BW: LpZ vs neomon no vowels, just aura
DPP: Ara vs BeatsBlack double B nickname, just too hard
ADV: Parpar vs FlamPoke I dont like FlamPoke much tbh and ParPar has nice simmetry
Bo3: seraphz vs Drud tough one. If it wasnt for the last z in seraphz’s nick it would have been a drud win fs.

:slaking: The KINGPINS (0) vs (0) Sinnoh Lakers :uxie:
SV: Metallica126 vs Piyu I really dont like Piyu as a nickname that much and Metallica is pretty solid no pun intended
SV: Tenebricite vs Taka no clue what Tenebricite is supposed to mean but it just looks too good.
SV: Fragments vs Xiri I enjoy random word nicknames but Xiri is most threatening in this case
SS: LustfulLice vs Lambovino LustfulLice is honestly an intimidating nick but “vino” in spanish translates to wine and Lamborghinis + wine cant go unbolded.
SM: robjr vs Clem Robert the Junior
ORAS: lighthouses vs Blue YM idk looks better
BW: avarice vs Cow tryhard nick vs bovine nick. Im giving it to the mammal.
DPP: Django vs Estarossa really cool nick
ADV: Plague vs plznostep same, simple and tuff.
Bo3: zS vs Larry straight up a first name. Aura.

:toxtricity-low-key: Malignant Chain Snatchers (0) vs (0) Haunter x Haunter :haunter:
SV: Micciu vs Vulpix03 i dont fw with vulpix that much but Pix is really clean and im taking that into account.
SV: Floss vs fish anemometer top tier nickname
SV: Ampha vs VyoletRayn ampha is clean but vy just looks and sounds better
SS: The Strap vs DugZa one of the most intimidating nicks ever.
SM: sugar ovens vs Ming549 looks like one of those random passwords they give you when you dont remember your old one. I fw that.
ORAS: Ruffles vs TSR good snack
BW: Tack vs TyCarter reminds me of carti. Bolded.
DPP: Baddy vs Heysup clean and somehow intimidating.
ADV: sleid vs evakiyama! the exclamation mark works so well here
Bo3: lax vs MZ first tie here. For me they are both equally clean and intimidating.

:delphox: The Dazzling Delphoxes (0) vs (0) Pokestar Pranksters :grafaiai:
SV: Suzukaaa vs SEA love suzuka but SEA in all caps is a really good looking nick
SV: dunoks vs DripLegend insanely goodlooking nick
SV: 691 vs Bouff just numbers is really tuff
SS: Bloshh vs Nuxl the 2 h’s in bloshh are confusing, should just be one.
SM: Terracotta vs Gondra really no need for explanation
ORAS: feen vs Greybaum tie for me
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs Accel extremely tuff nickname
DPP: TJ vs frankjosh 2 letters is all you need sometimes
ADV: Aurist vs violet river their name has literally aura on it
Bo3: tom holland vs sensei axew sorry tom but sensei axew is just ridiculous. May be top 5 overall.
 
Too lazy to do playoffs scenarios but I will repeat one ideal outcome that I put into PU discord last night. If we see Goobers > Mags, Haunters > Snatchers, and Lakers = Kingpins, then every single team will still be in contention come week 7. If Foxes > Pranksters happens then the bottom 6 teams will all be fighting for 2 slots, but if Pranksters win or tie then this scenario would put the bottom 5 teams all fighting for 1 slot. This doesn't always happen in team tours and I think it would be very cool, especially compared to the early eliminations of the last few PUPLs.

:goodra: Goofy Goober Goodras (0) vs (0) m.A.A.d. City Magmortars :magmortar: - ngl I desparately need this to be wrong, Haunters have a good playoffs shot but it relies on Mags not winning twice
SV: sufys vs Skarpherim - As a player in abstract I rate Skarph higher but rn he's in that place where his wins look quite good and his losses look quite bad, while sufys is on a 4 game winstreak which is momentum no matter how you get them
SV: cen344uu vs Andyboy - not really sure what to expect from cen, wouldn't be surprised if this goes the other way
SV: Hiko vs kyuss - /shrug equal records but I'm still very high on kyuss
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Dj Breloominati♬ - As a player in abstract I rate OBB higher but rn he's in that place where his wins look quite good and his losses look quite bad, while DJ is on a 4 game winstreak which is momentum no matter how you get them
SM: btboy vs pdt - btboy sm arc has been thoroughly unconvincing
ORAS: ishtar vs Killintime - ishtar's been solid and I don't rate a 3 week winstreak as high as a 4 or 5, especially when at least 2 were straight up pretty lucky
BW: LpZ vs neomon - LpZ shouldn't have won last week, but even with that he'd still be having a better tour than neomon
DPP: Ara vs BeatsBlack - gonna back history over records here
ADV: Parpar vs FlamPoke - no clue what to expect out of Flam ADV
Bo3: seraphz vs Drud - This late in the tour I think I can just say better player. Not a massive skill gap, but noticeable

:slaking: The KINGPINS (0) vs (0) Sinnoh Lakers :uxie: - again I'd prefer a tie, and maybe Lakers can pick up some momentum from last week
SV: Metallica126 vs Piyu - finally turning it around vs hasn't been playing much
SV: Tenebricite vs Taka - bad tours from both, I rate Taka higher in cg at least
SV: Fragments vs Xiri - another case of not being sure what I should expect from debuting player, but they are at least into someone having a bad tour
SS: LustfulLice vs Lambovino - vroom vroom
SM: robjr vs Clem - robjr's probably better at sucker punch 50/50s
ORAS: lighthouses vs Blue YM - better player
BW: avarice vs Cow - better tour, misclick aside. Still probably the funniest moment of PUPL so far
DPP: Django vs Estarossa - really liked both of their last week, 50/50 on the outcome here so I'll give it to whoever's team has less wins
ADV: Plague vs plznostep - slightly better maybe but realistically this also feels like a 50/50
Bo3: zS vs Larry - lol, lmao

:delphox: The Dazzling Delphoxes (0) vs (0) Pokestar Pranksters :grafaiai: - yeah I guess
SV: Suzukaaa vs SEA - SEA keeps alternating wins and losses and it's an even week. Also Suzukaaa having a better tour
SV: dunoks vs DripLegend - I wanted to believe in Drip but boy last week was demoralizing
SV: Hacker vs Bouff - drop the price
SS: Bloshh vs Nuxl - I don't know Nuxl at all
SM: Terracotta vs Gondra - Terra's looked ok in their 2-0 so far but they'd need to look really really good to flip this predict
ORAS: feen vs Greybaum - I hope grey wins
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs Accel - more like Tizio Potente Ow
DPP: TJ vs frankjosh - good tour vs weird tour
ADV: Aurist vs violet river - massive turnaround from Aurist this tour but this still feels like a 50/50
Bo3: tom holland vs sensei axew - disgusted in myself for giving ryan even one win but idk he probably gets 2
