Hey all, Kio here! Welcome to PokéNations - week five!
This week - we have a little odd spin on things and an announcement. Also, I'm having some problems with generic thread creation so bear with me for any inconsistencies, thanks. First; the weeks details.
The challenge this week returns to OU Singles. The catches? Yep there's two! First off, all Pokémon must have the same held item. Not a single one may be different! Secondly, you need to have only three moves on your Pokémon! You may not hold a fourth move on anything!
So, what does that entail? Well, your team should have six Pokémon that look like this;
Aggron (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
Serious Nature
-Stealth Rock
-Thunder Wave
-Earthquake Weezing (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
Hardy Nature
-Explosion
-Pain Split
-Sludge Bomb
So in short; you can have whatever nature, EVs, and the like that you want! Just make sure that all the Pokémon share the same item, and all the Pokémon have three moves. If you want to put a Tyranitarite on a Tyranitar, you can. Just be sure to put that item on all six! The matchups!
(3-1) Haven v Volcanic (2-2)
(1-3) Aurora v Ruin (2-2)
(3-1) Mythic v Apophyll (1-3) The clauses are as follows, and pretty standard; Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, Self-KO Clause and Species Clause. If you would like to battle with additional clauses, that is for the participating battlers to discuss.
So you've got until Sunday, 11:59 PM EST to submit rosters. Matchups will be posted soon after. You have exactly one week to complete matchups from the time they are posted. Rosters will include five people to play matches, and two reserve members in case a participant cannot play.
Nation Leaders, please reply with your rosters! Alright, now that that's over. So, there was a rather big recent event that got a lot of people with a lot of mixed emotions. Basically, I shouldn't have to go into detail. We've decided that there will be action to be taken in varying degrees with members that had participated in this. The actions will be stated soon; and the start time effective beginning on Week Six. Hopefully that allows enough time for leaders to prepare for this upcoming shift. We acknowledge that there was no direct correlation to PokéNations. Unfortunately, that does not mean that the negative actions are viewed as tolerable. As such, we will stand by these actions. We apologize for any negative consequences, and we hope to not have to come to these terms in the future. Thanks to all for understanding.
