[A moderately important announcement]

Ayyy, week 5 already! Seems like it's been forever since we started. It's been a long road huh, and we're not even halfway. That's why we thought a rest would be pretty nice. So, without further ado:

 

Next week, starting this Saturday and ending in the next one, will be an off week. As such, there won't be any Nations challenges or matches.

 

So, everyone gets a break! And after that, challenges will restart, and we have some good ass stuff planned for these weeks. Not to mention the Grand FinaleTM , aka the Championship week. So, enjoy the rest of this week, then go snooze, and have fun! Except for DW, he's not allowed to have fun now.

PokeNations 3

Week 4: BLASTS FROM THE PAST

 

Ah, nothing like a trip down memory lane... You know how there were other generations of pokemon before this one? Crazy, right? Well, this time we're playing some of them! Gens 4, 5, and 6, to be exact! Battles just like the days of old. Of course, not everyone will play in the same format, and for each matchup, there's one new generation!

 

Rules (read em):

The rules here will just be the standard rules and bans of the tiers being played. Smogon clauses are applied as well. But, gotta mention some things regarding past generations (and one particular ban, shhhh):

 

• In Generations 4 and 5, weather set by an ability (Drizzle, Snow Warning, etc.) is permanent, unless it's changed to another kind of weather
• In Generations 4 and 5, Defog does not remove hazards or screens, so better stick to Rapid Spin
• In Generations 4 and 5 (i'm tired now), Grass-types aren't immune to spore and powder moves, and Electric-types can be paralyzed
• In Generation 4, there's no team preview: you won't know your opponent's team at the start of the battle. Like in Random Battles
• Remember some moves don't exist in certain generations. Like Scald only exists since Gen 5, Sticky Web is only from Gen 6, etc.
• Z-moves aren't a thing in any of these generations
• No matter what the reborn server's builder says, the Baton Pass clause still applies: can't baton pass speed + another stat, and can't have more than one baton pass mon on a team
• Again, evasion strats (Snow Cloak, Brightpowder, Sand Veil, etc) are banned
• For this challenge, Breloom and Dugtrio are banned in Gen 4 OU

 

Again, questions in kermit colour. Now for the fun part:

 

MATCHUPS:

 

I. LIGHT GAZERS V/S ZION

 

[Gen 4] OU Singles

 

The rulers of the Earth against the bringers of heavenly light!

 

II. ECLIPSE V/S POLARIS

 

[Gen 5] UU Singles

 

Will Polaris drown their foes, or will they get eclipsed?

 

III. ZODIAC V/S SUN VALKYRIES

 

[Gen 6] UU Singles

 

Can the enlightened soldiers topple the treacherous and the occult?

 

TO THE NATION LEADERS:  Matches will be 5v5 weekly on the Reborn Showdown Server. Please submit your rosters of FIVE participants and TWO substitute candidates for this challenge within the next 42 hours to your committee representatives. 

 

REMINDER THE 4TH: Post your Replays of your Showdown matches in the Nations Discord server:  https://discord.gg/MjcGDzf

Could go with thundy the goat, but

Azery-kun (Hydreigon) @ Leftovers  
Ability: Levitate  
EVs: 96 HP / 212 SpA / 40 SpD / 160 Spe  
Timid Nature  
IVs: 0 Atk  
- Parting Shot  
- Dark Pulse  
- Core Enforcer  
- Roost

This exists to meme on rotom pls no signal meme: Resists both of its stabs, which is a big deal for eclipse against zion, can roost it off, and even avoids non-exca erfquek spam, just in case. Parting Shot is a great move, lets this bad boi be a p good pivot, and Core Enforcer removes abilities: may come in handy against araq and maybe even rotom

This just came in.
Zahk might not be available to battle for week 5, because of unforeseen circumstances regarding his health.

We do not have further information, as of yet. We only hope he recovers soon.

We will keep you posted in case anything new comes up.

Oricorio is slower so it can attack with the quiver boost. Air Cutter bc it's AoE + ori has nothing else of value. Sleep Powder is good shit.

[PokéNations 3 - Week 2 Matchups: Electric Douboogaloo]

PokéNations 3

WEEK 2: ELECTRIC DOUBOOGALOO

 

Here it is, the second week of Nations 3! Now don't ask me for anything ever again.

RULES

This time, we're taking it away from singles, to Doubles! So, two mons on each side of the field. Pretty simple huh? Well, there's one more thing: In every team, there have to be 3 pairs of every item. For example, if one of your pokemon holds a Focus Sash, and another holds a Life Orb, there has to be one more pokemon on your team with a Focus Sash, and one more pokemon with a Life Orb. They'll be bruuthers brothers in arms, with the same arms! The only exception is with Z crystals and Mega stones: You can have only one pokemon holding a certain mega stone, and one holding a Z crystal: this counts as a pair. Otherwise, pot of greed will only allow you to draw 2 of the same item.

 

Notes: All Z crystals can be used by each nation. If you choose to have a pokemon without an item, then you need to have two mons without items.

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

 

• Z-Celebrate, Z-Conversion, Z-Forest's Curse, Z-Happy Hour, Z-Hold Hands, Z-Purify, Z-Sketch, and Z-Trick-or-Treat are banned
• All pokemon listed as "Ubers" in Singles formats (Aegislash, Blaziken, Darkrai, Deoxys (all forms), Genesect, Mega Gengar, Landorus-Incarnate, Mega Lucario, Mega Metagross, Naganadel, Pheromosa, Mega Salamence, Shaymin-Sky) are banned
• Again, evasion-boosting items, abilities, moves and strategies are banned
• Leftovers and Black Sludge count as different items
• All Tapus are banned
• There can only be one pair of a berry that heals 50% of the holder's HP (Iapapa Berry, Aguav Berry, etc.) per team

 

Any questions about the challenge can be put in this thread in green.

 

And now, for the reason you're here:

MATCHUPS

 

I. LIGHT GAZERS v/s ECLIPSE

Doubles UU

 

Will the Gazers burst through the week, or will they be eclipsed this time?



 

II. SUN VALKYRIES v/s POLARIS

Doubles OU

 

Will the Valkyries be washed up and cooled down, or will Polaris melt and crumble under their light?

 

 

III. ZION v/s ZODIAC

Doubles UU

 

Will the earthbound titans of Zion prevail against the occult forces of Zodiac?

 

Find out, starting this Sunday!

TO THE NATION LEADERS:  Matches will be 5v5 weekly on the Reborn Showdown Server. Please submit your rosters of FIVE participants and TWO substitute candidates for this challenge within the next 42 hours to your committee representatives. This time you'll have a bit more time, since tomorrow is the Reborn Summer PartyTM, and you can have time to enjoy it. Have fun!
