Welcome to the Region Rivals Battle Guild League: Season 1!
Important Dates -
The League has a start date of Monday 15th August 2016, and each round will need to be completed by the end of Sunday of each week. In special circumstances which prevent you completing a battle, you can complete it the following week.
All teams must be PM'd to an independent individual(to be announced) on the weekend of Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th August. Please see below for the rules on how to select your 12 Pokemon.
Battle Rules
- Battles will be in 6 v 6 Singles format.
- Smogon Clauses are in effect.
- Unique Item Clause is in effect.
- Battles will be conducted on 3DS consoles. In special circumstances where both battlers agree, battles can take place on Pokemon Showdown.
Team Selection Rules
Team Selection rules are similar to those used for Guild Ladder Battles, although with some differences, the full list of rules are as follows -
- Step 1) Pick 12 Pokemon - These can only include Pokemon introduced in your Region/Generation and you can only choose one Mega Evolution. You are allowed to pick the same Pokemon as your fellow Region Team members. These 12 Pokemon can be freely interchanged between battles. All Pokemon must be Smogon OU or below, with the following allowances & restrictions -
S-Tier Allowance: In your team you have the option of picking EITHER one S-Tier Pokemon, or a maximum of three Legendary Pokemon. For example if you choose to use an S-Tier Pokemon, you can't choose any Legendary Pokemon. However if you choose not to use any S-Tier Pokemon you are allowed to choose a maximum of three Legendary Pokemon.
(Note: Due to the lack of non-Legendary Kalos Mega Evolutions, Kalos teams are able to select M-Diancie/Volcanion along with one S-Tier Pokemon)
S-Tier Pokemon: Aegislash, Greninja, Hoopa-Unbound, Mega Mawile, Mega Lucario, Landorus-I, Blaziken, Shadow Tag Pokemon*.
*Mega Gengar is not allowed to use Perish Song.
The S-Tier allowance was introduced to enable more powerful Pokemon to be used, compensating their increased strength with a restriction on Legendary Pokemon.
Structure
Each Region Team will consist of 4 GameFAQs members, and each Team Member will be required to complete one battle per week. The League begins on Monday 15th August 2016 and will last for an initial 5 weeks/rounds. The top 4 Region Teams then enter into play-offs in the following week, with 1st place versus 4th place, and 2nd place versus 3rd place. The week after that will be the final week, with the victorious Region Team being decided in the final.
Have fun everyone !
