PokéNations 3

WEEK 1: BL WARS

Let the BL-oodbath begin, what? 

 

 

Welcome to the first week of the third season of this wonderful, chaotic, absolutely disgusting series that we all know and love!

That said, enough chitchat and on with the show:

 

RULES

 

BL Wars is quite a straightforward challenge: every matchup will play using Pokémon from a particular competitive tier (as per the Smogon official tiering system), plus those from the BL (Bordeline) Tier immediately above it. For those not aware, the Borderline tiers contain Pokémon deemed too powerful for a given tier, but which do not garner sufficient usage to be listed in the tier beyond it; essentially, Borderline contains the banlist for each tier. But in this challenge, all such Pokemon are allowed in conjunction with those in the tier proper (as well as all Pokémon in lower tiers, which are admissible by default.) 

 

The tiers to be played are as follows:

 

  • UUBL1: All Pokémon in the UnderUsed + Bordeline-1 tiers, as well as any from lower tiers
  • RUBL2: All Pokémon in the RarelyUsed + Bordeline-2 tiers, as well as any from lower tiers
  • NUBL3: All Pokémon in the NeverUsed + Bordeline-3 tiers, as well as any from lower tiers

 

 

Standard Smogon clauses apply. In addition, the following general restrictions shall be applicable:

 

  • Z-moves are not allowed this week.
  • The move Aurora Veil is banned.
  • Evasion-boosting items, abilities, moves and strategies are banned.
  • Tier-Specific bans as follows:
    • NUBL3: Malamar and Exploud are banned.
    • RUBL2: All Mega evolutions are banned.
    • UUBL1: Thundurus, Thundurus-Therian and Azumarill are banned.
