​

Welcome to the ZU Open! The competition will be a single-elimination tournament in the SV ZU format, as part of the 2026 ZU Circuit, and now the Unofficial Metagames Circuit and the Unofficial Metagames Grand Slam! This tournament will earn you points for both the year-long circuit, as well as the Grand Slam! This competition will be a single-elimination best-of-three tournament held in the SV ZU format on Pokemon Showdown. All replays must be posted to the round's thread for a win to count, and each round will take one week.

Here’s where you can find some useful SV ZU resources:

(Keep in mind not all resources are up to date with the ever changing metagame, but this forum is still a nice resource nonetheless).

Here are some Smogon tournament resources:

• Sleep Clause: You cannot inflict sleep upon more than one member of the opposing team.

About Activity Decisions and Coin Flips

In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent, or if hosts determine an activity win was earned based on public contact. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.

For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.

Host discretion will be applied for all unplayed games. This means that an activity win will not be automatically granted if you post, and a lack of posts does not automatically result in a coin flip.
