Much like the Elite Four in the Pokemon games, the Zero to Hero Elite Four Challenge gives players the opportunity to face off against the some of the best trainers the aZUre bay has to offer. If someone manages to defeat all four members, that player will be crowned champion and put into the hall of fame. However, there is a catch similar to that of the main series games: Once a Champion is crowned, players will then have to defeat all Elite Four members and beat the champ to take their place.
On top of becoming Champion and being recorded in the Hall of Fame, the Champion will receive their own Discord tag in the ZU Discord (you can choose the colour).
Rules:
- The challenger must beat all Elite Four members to be crowned as champion.
- Challengers can challenge the Elite Four in any order, but can only challenge the same elite four member once a day.
- This means that if you lose to a particular elite four member, you have to wait until the next day (usually 24 hours) to challenge them again.
- Also, you must go undefeated against all Elite Four members in order to challenge the Champion. A loss means restarting the whole challenge.
- As soon as we have our first Champion, the clock will start ticking, and all participants have one week remaining to dethrone the current hampion.
- If the old Champion is dethroned, the clock starts over and the remaining participants (including dethroned Champions) again have one week to dethrone the new Champion.
- All battles must be BO1 unless agreed upon otherwise.
- All battles must be gen 7 ZU.
- The first person to become and remain Champion for one week wins the tournament!
- Please do not spam the Elite Four with battle requests.
- Post after you win or lose a match.
- Post replays.
- Be understanding of the Elite Four's availability.
- Most importantly, have fun!
- You may challenge any Elite Four member you see online on Pokemon Showdown! or contact them via Smogon or Discord.
- When challenging a member, be sure to state that you are challenging as part of the Zero to Hero challenge.
With that out of the way, here are the Elite Four members (no champion as of now, looking to keep it that way):
