A long long time ago, in the lands U. Dunder Oozed, an ancient farmer rose to power as the new King. But his throne was corrupted with evil powers of lag and timeout. But the Farm remained pure, and now a league of 8 Premiés from the fields has risen to take back the Kingdom. But who will succeed? Who will fall? And who will take home the grand prize?

SUPREME NEWS: UUFPL Has a Discord server for Tryouts!!!!!!

You can join and use this to fight and post replays for ALL MANAGERS to see in one place!

:Zarude: Use this link to join the UUFPL Tryouts Discord Server :Scyther:

In addition, there will be a UUFPL Training Camp similar to last year. This will occur on Saturday, March 19th @ 2:00 PM GMT-4 (EDT). UUFPL Training Camp is an event where prospective UUFPL players can do a bunch of fights in one PS Room which broadcasts all the fights for managers to see. This allows you to freely challenge people, get replays, and generally just get some good fights in so that others can see how you perform. It's not mandatory, but it's fun. And while you can technically do this every day in the UUFPL tryouts server, the UUFPL Training Camp will have more people gathered in the same room at the same time for more battles to take place. The PS Room will be revealed shortly before the event starts.

Good luck everyone and have a great season!

Greetings fellow UUFPL'ers. On behalf of both pdt and I, welcome to the best UU tour (that's not official or a part of circuit). I am here to advertise the official discord server for Carly Rae Jepsen! I won't say that we're All That, or that this team will be Your Type; but I dare say you will have a Good Time if you join with us. It's not just a Party For One over here! Pun's aside I am here to briefly talk about the team environment Peter and I hope to create and to announce how we will be running tryouts.

Why should you join our team? Because PDT and I believe that we can create a fun, active, and competitive team environment that will not only focus on enjoying the tournament but also winning it. We both have extensive experience in UU and its community and tournaments and will be giving everyone who expresses interest a fair shot. We hope to see new and old faces alike in the server, and good luck!

As for tryouts, BFM has a discord server that I will be paying attention to, so if you put stuff there, rest assured I will most likely see it. I will also be accepting individual SS tryouts, but will not be holding individual tryouts for any other tier. Anyone playing Old Gens is welcome to reach out to me and express interest! If you aren't signing up for the tour but want to lend a hand for the team, you are also welcome to reach out!

Best of luck to every player who has signed up and to managers: Holly and Trevelion, Estarossa and May, Aqua Jet and pokemonisfun, Cam and bb skarm, avarice and Expulso, Brexus and dunoks, and faded love and Avery.

:bw/Exploud: UUFPL Announcements March 18, 2022 :bw/Exploud:

The UUFPL Draft has been confirmed for Saturday, March 25 @ 3:30 PM GMT-4 (EDT), 12:30 PM GMT-7 (PDT), 7:30 PM GMT+0 (GMT).

We will start at 3:30 on the dot so please all managers be on time.
Holly Trevelion
Estarossa May
itsjustdrew pdt
Aqua Jet pokemonisfun
Cam bb skarm
avarice Expulso
Brexus dunoks
faded love Avery

ADDITIONALLY, REMEMBER THAT TOMORROW (SATURDAY MAY 19) IS UUFPL TRAINING CAMP!!!!

Training Camp will start at 2:00 PM GMT-4 (EDT).
You can simply hang out in the PS UU Room, or the UUFPL Tryouts Discord, or the UU Discord, and the Training Camp Room will be revealed at that time for you to join.

Reminder on what it is:

UUFPL Training Camp is an event where prospective UUFPL players can do a bunch of fights in one PS Room which broadcasts all the fights for managers to see. This allows you to freely challenge people, get replays, and generally just get some good fights in so that others can see how you perform. It's not mandatory, but it's fun. And while you can technically do this every day in the UUFPL tryouts server, the UUFPL Training Camp will have more people gathered in the same room at the same time for more battles to take place.

Finally, THERE WILL BE A MOCC DRAFT AFTER TRAINING CAMP HAS CONCLUDED (roughly 1-2 hours later). This may be the only Mocc Draft unless there is high demand for another one next week, so definitely be there unless you want to be Square.

Have fun everyone!!

:bw/Armaldo: BIGGER ANNOUNCEMENT :bw/Armaldo:

As part of the effort to re-work and re-tier parts of ADV UU, UUFPL will be allowing NFEs and Armaldo for all ADV UU games during UUFPL. The ability Arena Trap is banned though.

For the time being, you can play your ADV UU games in ADV OU format, just remember not to actually use any ADV OU mons or Baton Pass. There might be a different format available to use for this test later, but that has yet to be confirmed.

Have fun everyone, and congratulations on being a part of Smogon UU history!

:ss/Infernape: :ss/Scyther: UNOFFICIAL UUFPL HOST POWER RANKINGS :ss/Scizor: :ss/Zarude-Dada:
Done by BigFatMantis and Monky25

The Live Auction is complete, and all 8 teams are ready to go! As such, it's time for immediate post-draft Power Rankings! We will likely give another Power Rankings during the midseason and maybe one near the end like last year. You are all welcome to do your own Power Rankings or predictions. Note that this is just our opinion and we could very well be wrong. Please take no offense, and let's begin!

#1- Saur True Venusaurs :ss/Venusaur:
Besties avarice and Expulso team up to run it back this year of UUFPL, hoping to take the crown after losing in finals. The end result was a very strong draft by the two of them that has won them the #1 placement. With a top SS player in KM, dominant ORAS player in Expulso, returning DPP champ Alkione, and old gens beast Mr.378, the Venusaurs are certainly stacked. Beyond this, omi is a solid player compared to a good amount of the SS pool, especially with avarice support. phoopes is strong in RBY, and thepatatedouce is very invested in GSC as a generation. The Venusaur's aren't fully perfect though, they have a lot of unproven talent in their remainder slots, which certainly can mean big issues if they have to sub out a starter. Regardless, the Venusaur's are the most threatening team in this tournament and can definitely win it all. How many times will we see cheese this tour? Take a guess!

#2- Starly Rae Jepsen :ss/Starly:
Coming in at a very, very close second (and we mean VERY) we have Starly Rae Jepsen. Watching the draft I was dazzled by Drew and pdt's tactics, they played it smart with their costs and built up an amazing roster. Getting Liam at 14k has def been a steal, as his flexibility between SM, ORAS, and ADV can be very helpful based on what the team needs. Dingbat starts out in ORAS where we can easily expect a positive record. Koalaance was the highest performing RBY player in UUSD II AND the RBY circuit champion, so very high expectations are for this player. drew himself has been getting into the play of mons again, and has a good entourage of Allen-xia to do well in SS. zS and crying will do well in a shallow DPP and BW pool too. The rest of the team is quite unproven; Luna's Banned Now, SpacialRendevous, and UnzipsCrogre have to compete in a stacked pool of ADV, GSC, and SS players, though the latter can certainly break out this tour. With support like Permission Slip and haxlolo as SS backups, as well as Chaos2223 and A Hero's Destiny for other tiers, boosted up their great communication and early 2010s music, Starly Rae Jepsen is a forced to be reckoned with and can hold their own against a lot of the competition, being a strong contender to win the whole thing.


#3- Silicobra Kai :ss/Silicobra:
This team has definitely shown to be the most interesting lineup, being really good off in many places. Their SS is STACKED between SCL champ OnArceus and solid newcomer Sirwings, with Pannuracotta being solid as well. Eden hasn't played much BW but he has proven to be a consistent winner wherever he is slotted. hjkhj has been a ladder hero since ORAS and can do well here or in SS, making an appearance in SM even. Cam is a solid swiss army knife and can fit into whatever tier needed, while Parpar is strong at ADV. Beraldinho should do well in a very dire DPP pool. RBY and GSC aren't as strong, but with great matchups across the other gens it doesn't even matter much. If teams take advantage of these weaker slots, the Silicobras may be in trouble, but with their dominance in the remaining gens it'll be interesting to see how far Cam and bb skarm can take this team.

#4- Diancie is Unbreakable :ss/Diancie:
Returning manager Estarossa teams up with May to form a solid team this tournament, filled to the brim with Jojo references. Lily is versatile in her playing and should do well regardless of what tier she plays. Estarossa supports Thor in GSC, a very dangerous duo indeed. Unowndragon is one of the better RBY players and gorex can possibly find ground in the new ADV tier. However, the team's issues become more apparent here. Nalorium, despite his experience last UUFPL and UU Snake, has been having poor seasons lately. ara ara is relatively unknown too, but in a limited DPP pool we can only watch what they can do. While his SS has potential, Estarossa certainly fell into last year's trap of not drafting a stronger SS core. Meri Berry is the NUTL and was an All-star last year, but that's all the team really has for SS, not to mention she may not even SS if the team needs an ADV slot. Moreover, avg, adem, Lovestalllive life, starfalcon555, and BT89 are all unproven presences, meaning they can struggle to pop off against certain foes, but this is UUFPL! New talent will get their chance to thrive, and the overall enthusiasm of this team environment can yield this team big wins in the tour, thus placing them at #4.

#5- Yolo Swag Poliwags :ss/Poliwag:
GSC enthusiasts Holly and Trevelion have made a stand to try and win it all in UUFPL. Immediately they purchase Juno for 25k, a huge amount of money and the most expensive pick this tour. While Juno + Holly may be the scariest GSC combo, that's still only one tier. Still, they've got a solid roster. GasaiYunosan at 4k is a huge underpay given their performance in masters. Moreover, passion and Thiago Nunes are solid players and should do well wherever they're slotted with their experience. stunner047 and HSOWA make up a RBY core that's exciting to see, but HSOWA seems to be their only DPP player, leaving that slot a bit stressed. Panther-T has done well in the past, being an All-Star last year, though a new return to Pokemon means they've got to shake off some rust. The Strap plays ADV UU, so it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to the new tier and more competitive environment, but he should do fine though and provide strap memes along the journey. Their SS lineup is noticeably the weakest, as more inexperienced players apart from Yuno makeup the group. They have the potential to win it all, but they've got some tough foes ahead and need to work together to reach the top.
#6- Here Comes the Sunfloras :ss/Sunflora:
Coming in at #6 we have Here Comes the Sunfloras, a team led by returning manager and BW enthusiast Faded Love. In typical UU team tour fashion, there's always one team that ends up being an army, and that's this team right here. Granted he plays his games, Diophantine may be the strongest GSC in this pool, and beyond this innovamania should do fine in ADV with their experience. Shellnuts + AM is a very strong RBY combo, though their investment in this tour can certainly be an issue. Faded has lots of experience in BW so they should do fine. Adrift and Alone was a sleeper pick for 3k, being one of the best SM players last year, though the pool may be more intense this time around. Ampha gets a shot in DPP, though there is still much to prove. Specs is very nice and a cool player but will def need support if not properly invested in the tour. Their SS lineup is pretty solid, style.css and Prof.Otaku did well during tryouts, while Corporate N is arguably a top 5-7 SS player in the pool. They've got some fair support options, though they need to prove themselves. The sunfloras are not bad, but they definitely need strong leadership and dio not cancering to go far, and they certainly have the potential to do so.

#7- Kakuna Matata :ss/Kakuna:
The Kakuna's have a lot to prove here. Accel is perhaps one of the best ADV players, even the best, in the pool and should do great here, while Cherry and Draph have potency in their own respective tiers. Volk is quite strong in RBY as well. Their SS has a lot more to prove however, with the exception of Dugza and Brexus the other slots do not matchup well against the majority of the teams. ORAS, BW, and DPP all have more inexperienced faces that have a lot ahead of them to go positive. The Kakunas aren't bad, but they def need to strengthen certain slots if they hope to win it all.

#8- Sirfetch'deez Nuts :ss/Sirfetchd:
Last and unfortunately least we have the nuts. Newer user Aqua Jet led the charge during the auction which led to some questionable price purchases due to falling to upbids. As for the players, who is the best SM on their team? Pif. Who is the best ORAS on the team? Pif. DPP and ADV? Pif. His support is certainly valuable but he cannot be everywhere at once. Fakee is one of the best BW players and should do fine. Spl4sh is experienced but in a stacked ADV pool they've got a lot to do. Celebii is solid at GSC but everyone needs support in GSC and him managing it himself will not end well. 5Dots seems to know RBY, but compared to the other teams they have a lot to improve. There's not much confidence in the remaining slots, they all rank very low compared to the other teams, with the exception of TotomonGang in SS, though his inexperience has left him prone to making misplays in the past. Still, this tour is about having fun and getting experience, and this team will certainly do so, but they have way too much to overcome if they want to win the whole thing. On the other hand, pif's team was ranked last last year and won the whole thing, so maybe it's fate instead.
