Rules:
www.pokemonshowdown.com, Gen 7 random battles.
No using the timer
Have your match the week it is scheduled. Failures will be dealt with on a discretionary basis - but we are only going for 7 weeks in the main season here, so you will not be able to get 3 weeks behind like in past seasons
NO REPLAYS, NO POINTS. It's up to both players to come to an agreement at the start of the match as to who will post replays.
More rules to be added as I remember them
Top 4 from each division advance to a final 8 tournament, based on W/L record (matches) then W/L record (games), with the head to head result as the final tiebreaker.

Week 6:
pyresword vs. Shonen_Bat
Whiskey_Nick vs. NFUN
swordz9 vs. Tom Bombadil
Forceful_Dragon vs. Terastodon

Punnyz vs. red13n

@DoomTheGyarados
I have too much going on at work to play during the weekdays this week, unless I really have to. Does sometime on saturday/sunday work for you? Saturday I think I'm free all day aside from a gap from like 5-7 est, sunday anytime. If not, I can try to work something else out.

Ctes 0-2 Shad

This was pretty annoying. Was mad about playing so badly in the first match especially, but it didn't really matter, I wouldn't be able to break Mega Aggron. I literally had no special attack and my only super effective move against it was Drill Run on Seaking. Also I had three choiced Pokemon in that match, wtf. Not sure how second match goes if I get to perhaps sweep a little bit with Seismitoad instead of double missing, but aside from Swismitoad in rain, I had nothing to outspeed Mega Latias with, no toxic and surprisingly nothing super effective either.
So yeah, my turn to get f***ed by team luck lol.

pyre vs Shonen_Bat

Game 1: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7randombattle-660134967
Game 2: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7randombattle-660137352
Game 3: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7randombattle-660137352

pyre wins 2-0. GG's. Kind of 1-sided matches though with the way the teams worked out unfortunately. Game 1 I had a team where almost everything was a competent sweeper and ~200+ speed (last poke was Entei) and game 2 I had too many walls to break through. (Weezing by himself solo's most of his team, not to mention Hypno and Tangrowth. Plus, my last was Gligar which ALSO walls nearly everything in this match >.>)

Also if anyone from division A or otherwise is curious about playoff prospects in this hellhole of a division (which might not even be the strongest division, but still!):

(spoilers because it indirectly reveals results from this week): Well swordz is currently 6-0 and everyone else has at least 2 losses. So, swordz is guaranteed 1st and makes it to the playoffs. Assuming that Steiner is breaking ties just based on # of game wins, I'm guaranteed at least 4th place and also make it out. (The only other ones who can tie or beat 4 wins/9 games are FD and Shonen.) After that though is where things get dicey.

Both FD and Shonen are currently at 3 wins/7 games, so Shonen winning his last match or FD winning either of his last matches will push them to 4/9 and confirm them for the playoffs. However if either of them fail to do that and NFUN wins his last match, NFUN is at 4 wins/8 games and makes it in instead of them. In other news, if either Nick or Tera win their remaining 1 or 2 matches respectively, that will put them at 3 wins/7 games, which is enough to tie FD and Shonen if neither of them get a single game win from their remaining matches (no idea how this is broken, but until I do I'm considering Nick/Tera as possibilities). Worst case scenario if everything in the final round goes "right", we could have swordz/me as 1st/2nd, and then there could be a 5-way tie for 3rd place between FD/Shonen/Nick/NFUN/Tera at 3 matchwins+7 game wins each.

Tom is out. Sorry Tom :(


I don't know why I took the time to figure that out, but once I realized how many people could still possibly advance I thought it was cool.

Two of those are actually pretty normal for the record. Don't think I've ever seen Tapu Bulu with a Fairy move (he doesn't learn Play Rough), and it feels like 1/3 to 1/2 of Mega Salamence sets or so don't have a Dragon attack. Flying STAB move/EQ/DD/Roost is a common set, and there are some sets with Fire Blast also I think.

The Kommo-o thing I don't think I've ever seen though, and while I've seen Tapu Fini without Moonblast, it's pretty uncommon.

2-1 XIII very luckily

I won the third game 5-0 but I could have easily just been cleanly swept by Mewtwo. Conversely I could also even have won 6-0 with that Diggersby sweep.
Bloody Milotic.

Game 2 I should have just tanked the hits with Necro after Staraptor went down. I just figured Cloyster would be able to one shot it, but unless I was super unlucky, he should have been able to tank and put that disaster in the bin. Donation to wigs +1
