Welcome to the first SM PU Seasonal! These seasonals will be part of the PU Circuit. Entering in this seasonal earns you points for an overall PU leaderboard.

Specific Rules:
  • This is a standard USUM PU tournament.
  • This tournament will be a double elimination tournament.
  • If you drop out of the tournament immediately after losing in winner's bracket, you will be banned from future PU circuit tournaments, and potentially risk being infracted.
  • All rounds will be best of three.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!.
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts replays of the match, regardless of whether you confirm that your opponent won, your series will be coinflipped unless you can provide replays. We will not disqualify both players, but we will coinflip the series, not because we don't believe that you played, but because the replay rule ensures everyone is on an even playing field, as stated.
  • PU is a usage based tier. Essentially you can use anything that is not in a higher tier; NU effectively serves as the PU banlist. However, there are several Pokemon and one move banned from PU which are not in NU or a higher tier; aka BL4.
Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
  • Sleep Clause: You cannot inflict sleep upon more than one member of the opposing team.
  • Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned.
  • OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
  • Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
General Tournament Rules:

  • Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  • Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  • Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  • Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

holy fr*ck this losers bracket is stacked, gl to all participating :)
predicts:

Dundies vs GenZeon - 65/35 - dundies home is PU, genzeon will put up a good fight but dundies is at his best when he plays against other good players
TSR vs galbia - 40/60 - galbia is the head bigboss of PU so i expect him to take it, I know tsr as a player tho and hes good so i expect a good series w. galbias meta knowledge to push him over the line
(Winner of Jason Genova vs Wamr) vs Eternally - ill refrain from probabilities on this one since there are 2 different opponents on the offering for eternally but regardless of who he plays i think he'll have a relatively trouble free ride as long as he uses a certain someones teams :verymad: :blobsad:
Plas vs Taskr - 30/70 - taskr is a broken player when hes carefree, he will have learned from past mistakes and play well here
Senpai D.M vs 5gen - 45/55 - i saw senpai and 5gen play a few times, should be a close encounter by two players around the same skill bracket
Many vs Finding True Love - 60/40 - mom knows PU rlly well and will have prepped well for this game, FTL is a vet tho so i wouldnt be surprised if he pushes mom to the edge
Raiza vs LordST - 49/51 -highlight match???? This series is definately one to watch as the winner will take a shitton of momentum into the next few rounds as they know they can beat an opposing great player. I have lst taking this on a close one since he prefers offense and raiza prefers balance so will have a natural mu playstyle wise but if raiza is living in 3017 both in his builds and plays, he takes this.
jklioe vs Plans - 70/30 - jk has had an impressive winstreak in winners before some kid decided to end it, he has a vast advantage over the likes of plans, hopefully he doesnt tilt and can make a deep losers bracket run
 
Dundies vs GenZeon - 60-40 : Dundies is a gr8 player and can build in sm pu easily. He tilts from time to time, but i think he'll have a good read on GenZeon... That doesn't mean GenZeon can't take it though, as if dundies tilts, he will probably give up halfway through. Could go either way.

TSR vs galbia - 40-60 : Galbia is a good player if he tries, so he just needs to put minimal amounts of effort in and he'll make a decent run.

(Winner of Jason Genova vs Wamr) vs Eternally - 20:80 In all honesty, i think eternally has been trying to throw his matches so far but somehow ends up winning them unintentionally anyway LOL. If he brings a good team, he'll have 0 problems. If he brings mono-psychic again and still somehow manages to win, i still wouldn't be surprised

Plas vs Taskr - 1:99 : No way Taskr is losing, he's learning from his mistakes. He'll build some new teams, get comfortable with them and his meta knowledge and playing ability will give him the edge.

Senpai D.M vs 5gen - 51:49 - It's a pretty even match, but i gave senpai the edge because 5gen has a number in his name and that naturally means he's not very good :(

Many vs Finding True Love - 55:45 - Many always finds a way to choke, hence why he's in losers bracket... but he should win this series, but he'll make it close.

Raiza vs LordST - 60:40 - Forza Italia. Raiza has come out with some decent teams recently, not quite sure what to expect from LordST.

jklioe vs Plans - 80:20 - jklioe got unlucky with bracket draw coming up against a potential winner last round (HFAG), but he'll be back and more fired up to win this week. I think playing more frequently in losers bracket may suit him as it will give him more opportunities to prep / build and generally play more tournament matches. I'm expecting a deep losers bracket run.

Highlight Match:
Dundies vs Genzeon
 
Won in 2, gg
replays are on wamr's main. cant post cause i am on mobile sorry.

Sorry about having to timer win in Game 2. To give some context, my opp kept dc'ing game 1 and it ended up making a 18 turn game last around 45 minutes. By the time G2 had even started it was getting late. My opponent disconnected and i literally waited 25+ minutes for him to reconnect but did not see any sign of him on Discord or PS.
