How to play
Using a list of a team's tier placements, weaknesses, resistances, and immunities, determine the members of that team.
Team Selection Guidelines
1. Smogon tiers only. http://www.smogon.com/dex/sm/formats/
- Pokemon will only be chosen from the following tiers: Uber, Overused (OU), Underused (UU), Rarelyused (RU), Neverused (NU), and PU.
-- For the purposes of this game, treat BL4 Pokemon as NU, BL3 Pokemon as RU, BL2 Pokemon as UU, and BL Pokemon as OU.
- For the purposes of this game, every Pokemon's Hidden Ability is viable for selection, even if it hasn't officially been released.
2. Teams will always have six Pokemon. If a Mega Pokemon is present on the team, there will only be one. Mega Pokemon will not always be on the team.
3. Species clause is in effect.
4. Once a Pokemon has been correctly guessed, it must be included in all future guesses for those guesses to be considered legit. If any previously revealed team member is not in the current guess, the entire guess will be marked wrong.
5. You get three guesses max. If you don't guess all six members correctly within three guesses, I win.
6. Guesses must be properly formatted to be counted as a guess. See below.
How to guess
Put this anywhere in your post:
PMJ, we think this is your team:
Poke1
2
3
4
5
6
Then I will reply with which Pokemon, if any, are part of the team, and relay how many guesses you guys have left.
Misc. tips
1. For the purposes of this game, a weakness is any type that does at least 150% damage or more. Conversely, a resistance is any type that does 50% damage or less. An immunity, obviously, is any type that does no damage.
- A Pokemon with Dry Skin is considered to be weak to Fire.
2. This is a team game, and the teams are everyone vs. me. Work together. You can use any research you like in your search for answers.
3. If a Pokemon has a double weakness to a type, it will be listed only once.
- ex. A team of Butterfree, Ledian, Yanmega, Beautifly, Vivillon, and Mega Pinsir would only show 6 Rock weaknesses, not 12.
4. If a Pokemon has two Mega Evolutions, you must distinguish between the two if you believe it is part of the team.
- If a Mega Evolution changes the base Pokemon's type, it will be treated as the Mega Evolution's type in the team specs (so Mega Mewtwo X would be listed as weak to Flying).
- If a Mega Evolution does NOT change the base Pokemon's type, it will not be part of the team unless its ability changes its type matchups, or if it is in a different tier than its base form.
5. Each team member will have a specific ability, the same as if you were actually building this team. Keep that in mind when determining weaknesses and resistances. A Ninetales with Flash Fire is immune to Fire, but one with Drought is not.
- If you determine that Flash Fire Ninetales is on the team, your guess does not have to specify the Ability. Just the Pokemon is sufficient.
6. Don't look at competitive viability when figuring out team members. If you figure out Drought Ninetales is on the team, don't start looking for Chlorophyll sweepers and sun abusers because chances are you won't find them. Team members are pretty much chosen arbitrarily.
7. Post freely. The point is to work together, so you can post whatever you want. Not every post has to be a guess.
And that's pretty much it. Once the round ends, I post new team specs and the game begins anew.
