HELLOOOOOO, and welcome back to the second annual PPC Pokémon Tournament!
Well, not quite.
Like last year, the tournamet will be officially starting in April; however, seeing as it is now March, I want to give all trainers the opportunity to begin planning their teams!
(For those of you who were not with us last year, have a Wiki link.)
Since, as far as I know (though feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), the Smogon Banned List has not changed since last year, we'll be using the same banned list as before, which can be found here. Rules and such will similarly remain the same, and can also be found at that last link.
HOWEVER!
This year, there is a catch.
Teams this year will be Monotype, to truly test how well trainers fare in the face of an unfavorable type matchup. How well-prepared are you to counter your weaknesses?
I myself will be using the Psychic type, but don't think that because one Trainer has claimed a type you can't use it as well. After all, there are only so many types to go around.
Pokémon on your Monotype teams are allowed to be dual typed as long as one of their types belongs to the typing you choose. (For example, if you chose Fire, then Infernape would be acceptable.)
You have until the last week in March to finalize your teams! The official cutoff point is Thursday, March 31. Once that is over, I'll draw up a randomized bracket and we'll go from there.
Good luck!
