evanfardreamer (Nidoking, Jolteon, Gengar, Camerupt, Ludicolo, Infernape) vs Gold (Kyogre, Alolan Muk, Starmie, Alolan Ninetales, ???, ???)

Kyogre swept through two Pokemon before its paralysis forced it to switch out. By that time, Gold had a heavy enough send advantage to keep pressure on Evan through counterpicking.

Gold wins and gets $5,000.
Evan loses and gets $2,500.
I get $4,000.

Ash K. (Alolan Marowak, Salamence, Honchkrow, Slowking, Tyrantrum, ???) vs SinnohEevee (Gallade, Gardevoir, Metagross, Mr. Mime, Ninetales, Meowstic)

Mock Gym battles. SE mega'd early and didn't have much answer to Mega Salamence, and it ripped up SE's team pretty good. Tyrantrum came in and got a Dragon Dance sweep. Thanks for reffing those last few turns, Gold!

Ash wins and gets $5,000.
SE loses and gets $2,500.

Gold (Dragonite, Lapras, Scrafty, ???, ???, ???) vs SinnohEevee (Sylveon, Charizard, Metagross, Glaceon, Gardevoir, Gallade)

Randoms! Lapras got set up with Dragon Dance and got work done despite a couple of Moonblast lowers. Scrafty was allowed to Dragon Dance without consequences; after that, it snowballed with Moxie and cleaned up hard.

Gold wins and gets $5,000.
SE loses and gets $2,500.

Gold (Greninja, Ambipom, ???, ???, ???, ???) vs SinnohEevee (Gallade, Metagross, Mr. Mime, Alakazam, Gardevoir, Meowstic-M)

More mock Psychic Gym practice for SE. SE couldn't think up a way to counter Greninja with Psychic-types, so the frogbeast ate through their team. Protean Greninja OP please nerf, etc.

Gold wins and gets $5,000.
SE loses and gets $2,500.

Gold (Growlithe, Wooper, Granbull, Cyndaquil, Ambipom) vs oribhel (Tyrunt, Hydreigon, Karrablast, Bayleaf, ???)

Gold tried his best, but Ori's meme team was simply too powerful. If Chuchu had been allowed to enter he would have surely destroyed all.

oribhel wins and gets $3,500.
Gold forfeits and gets $1,500.
I get $2,500.

Gold (Aggron, Incineroar, Lanturn, Heracross, Jolteon, ???) vs GrayNine (Lapras, Sylveon, Slowking, Charizard, Alolan Ninetales, Altaria)

Gold fought well despite having some sends he would rather not have had, preventing setups and getting in brutal attacks wherever possible. Gray tried to keep up, but balked when Gold still had an unsent Pokemon and nothing in Gray's living arsenal could take Gold's fearsome Heracross.

Gold wins and gets $5,000.
Gray forfeits and gets $2,500.
I get $4,000.

SinnohEevee (Venusaur, Blaziken, Heracross, Weavile, Mismagius, Gengar) vs GrayNine (Metagross, Electivire, Altaria, Magcargo, ???, ???)

The RNG threw everyone about as many bones as it threw duds. Mismagius did some work and Gengar had potential, but Magcargo put Gengar to bed and set up with two, count them two, Shell Smashes. Ref's note: Magcargo is an exploding snail, not a slug. >:y

Gray wins and gets $5,000.

SinnohEevee (Blaziken, Venusaur, Charizard, Weavile, Sylveon, Gengar) vs Gold (Arceus, Ambipom, ???, ???, ???, ???)

Arceus got a Psych Up Swords Dance and speed rise from Blaziken and its immense movepool let it run SE's team through the wringer. Recover was a big saving grace on Arceus's part.

evanfardreamer (Charizard, Empoleon, Clefable, Seaking, Crobat, Lycanroc-Dusk) vs GrayNine (Dusknoir, Starmie, Metagross, ???, ???, ???)

Randoms. Evan tried to strategize with Empoleon's Yawn, but he unleashed a Metagross that was able to cleanly sweep the rest of Evan's sends.

Gray wins and gets $5,000.
Evan loses and gets $2,500.

SinnohEevee (Delphox, Clefable, Garchomp, Metagross, Azumarill, Greninja) vs Gold (Liepard, Starmie, Lopunny, Arcanine, Jolteon, ???)

Gold used Liepard the best I've ever seen anyone use it, which is to say that it wasn't completely useless. SE tried to do some send tricks, but he overextended and sent too many 'mons, allowing Gold to counter-pick. Keeping a slot open for Jolteon to come in and coup-de-grace Greninja was the finisher.

Gold wins and gets $5,000.
