Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Closed

​

Welcome Trainers to the Battle Factory. Before entering we request that you leave all of the Pokemon you have with you at your door. You won't be needing them here. Instead, we will be distributing Pokemon to you all for your use in this tournament. We will be testing your ability to experiment with new Pokemon and strategies. Good luck!

Pokemon

When you enter the tournament you will be randomly given one Tier 1 Pokemon, one Tier 2 Pokemon, two Tier 3 Pokemon, and two Tier 4 Pokemon. All Pokemon will be randomly rolled in the URPG Blast Chat with moderators and officials viewing. This can let you guys strategize and laugh at SLC getting something bad. All Rented Pokemon have access to all Extra Moves and Hidden Abilities. You can only use your Rented Pokemon in the tournament. Make sure you strategize your team ahead of time!

The Tiers can be found at the following link: URPG Tier List 2014

Rules of Battle

All battles will be:

4 vs 4
BW Revolution
Helds allowed
Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Evasion Clause​

The semi-finals will be 5 vs 5 and the finals will be 6 vs 6. All battles must be held over AIM, sorry but forum battles are simply too slow.

If both battlers agree, the battle can be DPPt Revolution instead of BW Revolution.

You may equip you own hold items to your Pokemon for the tournament. Remember to select the Hidden Power Type of each of your Pokemon before each battle by sending them to the ref (alongside Gender, Ability, and Hold), otherwise you won't be able to use Hidden Power. Genders can change between battles. Additionally, we've decided that if you receive a Pokemon that can Mega Evolve, you will be able to borrow a Mega Stone from our storage for use in this tournament (though you are not forced to use it!)

Battle Payouts

Winner: $3000
Loser: $1500
Refs: $3000 (3500 for semis and 4000 for finals)

Furthermore, when a Player wins their Match they have the choice to swap one Pokemon from their team they used for that Battle with one Pokemon the Opponent used in the Battle. After that point, they can use that Pokemon as their own. Make sure to let your ref know which Pokemon you are swapping! Referees be sure to mention in your log if a battler switched one of his Pokemon, and which ones.

Referees will have wages posted after each round of the tournament.

Prizes

First place will receive, - 2 of their rented Pokemon along with 3 TMs to use however they see fit.
Second place will receive - 1 of their rented Pokemon along with 3 TMs to use however they see fit.
Third & Fourth place will both receive - 1 of their rented Pokemon.

Prizes may be increased depending on participation (though I doubt it because those are some nice prizes!)

Additional Rules:

In order to enter this tournament, you must pay $10,000 to the Battle Factory as a security deposit on the rental of our Pokemon. However, don't fret! When you are eliminated from the tournament, you will be returned your entrance fee. Note: if you are eliminated for missing your battle you will not be refunded, so get your battles done! (You also get refunded if you win.)

Furthermore, if you've joined the URPG within 1 month of when sign ups close (so anytime between February 7th and now), you can be eligible to have your fee waived! All you have to do is show us that you have at least 4 Pokemon in your possession (including your starter) and you will be able to enter the Tournament free of charge! If this applies to you, post a link to your stats in your signup and I will approve your waived fee.

You have 336 Hours from this post to sign up, don't forget to subtract from your totals in your signup. Good Luck!

Sign me up please

25.5-10=15.5

 

Re: Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Open!!!

To be clear on swapping: is one Pokemon they use considered just one sent to the ref or does it actually have to show up in battle to be swapped?

For example, if I send Venusaur, Pidgeot, Charizard, and Seaking but only actually use the first three in battle, can I still swap Seaking out?

 

Re: Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Open!!!

Count me in.

$21,500 - $10,000 = $11,500

Re: Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Open!!!

Yo, just looking through the tier listing it looks pretty solid as is. I do think that a few of the tier ones don't really fit there, but rather in tier 2 since they really aren't as top tier from what I've seen. These would be Aegislash, Espeon, Scizor and Talonflame definitely, but you could argue Lucario even with its MEvo, Kingdra and Porygon-Z too. Venusaur, Gardevoir and Mawile could definitely be bumped up to tier one as well. Otherwise it's mostly very minor discrepancies so I don't really see a need for change. This is just my opinion obviously, but I have a lot of battling experience under my belt!!

Anyway I'ma sign up because smores is cool

14.4 - 10 = fun on a bun

 

Re: Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Open!!!

Scizor and Aegislash maybe. Espeon and Talonflame both deserve to be there, as does Lucario with its mega. I agree in theory with Mawile and probably Gardevoir.

Having said that I don't care at all if the tiers are changed and would probably recommend against it since its already been posted.

 

Re: Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Open!!!

@WinterVines;

You can swap out the Pokemon as long as you've sent it to the ref. Pretty much as long as it appears in the log.

@Synthesis;

Seeing as all of the changes you suggested only had Pokemon moving one tier up/down, I'm going to hold back on making any changes. I think that a lot of those Pokemon could go either way. Another thing to consider is that because most of the Pokemon that are going to be used in this tournament won't be Tier 1 Pokemon, it makes those borderline Pokemon even better, in a sense. For example, if Scizor doesn't have to deal with a Blaziken on every team it can shine even more.

 

Re: Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Open!!!

I think that I am in.

94300 - 10000 = 84300

 

Re: Battle Factory 2014 - SignUps: Open!!!

Well, the tiers don't really equate so much. Blaziken is pretty rapey on a good day and will pass numerous ridiculously easily gotten buffs to any teammate if it doesn't 6-0 itself. There are literally about 3 Pokemon that can live any +2 move from Blaziken, none able to reliably ohko without boosting items. It is about as uncounterable as you get in the URPG.

Scizor is a very mediocre Pokemon. Crippling fire weakness aside, it just can't do a lot other than shitty BPer or very limited physical attacking. A powerful U-turn (its claim to fame in every non URPG battling system) is almost completely invalidated due to our EV system. Scizor, while not terrible, is just not viable in competitive URPG play.

Anyway, your call and I won't press this further since one tier bump ain't a big deal.
