Little Cup Tournament

Little Cup Tournament
[hr][/hr]
Introduction:

Hello again! I have decided to host another tournament here on PMU. The last one was a bit messy, but I hope this one is going to be a lot smoother. It’s not a regular tournament though, because it has a little catch: You can only use Pokémon in the Little Cup or Little Cup Ubers tier on Smogon (with a few needed exceptions)! I hope you all participate and have fun!

Link to the respective tier:

will join

I definitely would like to join in on this.

Ill join

what about pokemon with the static ability and flame body ability also ill join too

Abilities like Static and Flame Body don’t have a guaranteed chance of status ailment on the opponent. Besides, they only have a range of 1-tile AoE anyway.

By the way, which account will you be using, slayer?

my poochy character

I’ll join

See, I would join if it was the Tanren Arena. I do train unevolved Pokemon, but it takes too long for me to train. Don’t you even dare call me lazy. It’s my senior year in high school, meaning I have to apply to colleges and scholarships, and I have AP classes, which are classes of college level work while you’re in high school, and my teachers like to give piles and piles of work for us to do, like we don’t have other classes to do work for. So you tell me where I’m supposed to find time to train when most of the time after I do my homework, I’m so tired that I normally go to bed.

The problem with the Tanren Arena is that for this tournament, people could hatch an egg for a Pokemon with good egg moves, trach it a tutor move or TM and bam. They’re done with preparing for the tournament. I want to encourage training in PMU, and to be honest, training to 40 from level 5 can be done in 45 minutes. I want people to think about what they’re using, not just go with any random egg with good egg moves.

I do understand how you feel and I’m sure others have the same problem, and I do not think of you as lazy but please consider what I mentioned above. Besides, I do think school has priority over PMU anyway but that’s up to you to decide.

Can I join scizi?

Edit* question: do the pokemon have to be level 5? because in the link it says all pokemon have to be lvl 5 owo

i’ll join and is lowering your opponent’s stats allowed? since it’s not in the rules

It’s allowed as it really doesn’t do much unless your opponent get the lucky stat boost from a move. I’ll add you to the list!
