Recently, the comment section has been engaging in discussion of a PJN tournament, where we go all out and fight for #1, whether it be with the best Pokémon or with your favorites. As such, the staff chat has been bustling with discussion over it, with all of us bouncing and throwing ideas out at each other. The idea of a PJN tournament is definitely not a new one, but with the advent of Super Training, and other advances in the way you raise Pokemon (special thanks to Destiny Knot!), we think that this is the perfect time for us to see who really has the best battling skills in our community
Right now, details are still in the works but we hope to share more information with you soon. However, we would like to share a few anticipated questions, for better discussion in the comments.
When will this be held?
We don’t have an exact date. Expect it to be around the holiday season this year though.
Is this a Competitive-centric tournament?
Yes. With Super Training, we believe that even those who have no idea how to EV train the old-fashion way can still participate, and we see no reason as to splitting tiers and such. We understand some readers would like us to host this tournament using online Battle Simulators, at this point we will use only Pokémon X & Pokémon Y. It is possible we will allow the use of online battle simulators in future tournaments.
What are the Tournament Rules/Banned Pokemon and moves/Clauses/Tiers?
We’re still throwing ideas around at this point. Most of the staff are pushing for just the standard flat rules and clauses present in the game, with a hope of maybe doing 4 on 4 doubles and not 6 on 6/ 3 on 3 singles. Discussion would be widely appreciated regarding this.
Will there be any prizes for the winners?
Again, in the works. We would like to hear what you guys would like for a prize 🙂
How can I help out?
Tell your friends and share your ideas or concerns in the comments!
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s safe to let the comments begin. Input on anything regarding this tournament is welcome and very appreciated, we all look forward to reading them! 🙂
Note from moving: Some of you may have been involved in the initial discussion with me about this a few days back, that small chat was what has kickstarted this into action. The sooner more of your express your interest in participation in this tournament the sooner sign-ups will be opened and we can begin sorting battle arrangements. Ideally we would open sign-ups this coming weekend and begin formatting early next week.
My parents don’t like me playing pokemon. My dad thought it was just jumping over barrels or something, so I tried to briefly explain the intricacies of the metagame and demonstrate the complexities of strategic competitive play. It did not work.
“You should only play one hour of games a day” just no
*Loads shotgun* You better let me play more than one hour a day. I was so glad when I talked my parents out of that stupid rule.
You play what you enjoy.
oxo whats wrong with playing games that make you think?
Apparently the same thing that’s wrong with playing games in general. I should be working or studying.
Another mother flippin wonder trade caterpie.
really I got a level 1 modest Charmander with Dragon Pulse
Later I’ll be putting some stealth rocks larvitars in there.
Who wants to join in the Multi Battle with me and TCMets?

THANK YOU MAGNET FOR ADDING ME! 🙂
I’m in the middle of a 8 fishing streak and I don’t have my team 😛
You’re just starting off, end the streak 😛
I keep thinking that I’m going to run into a shiny in the next turn XD
We’re waiting on you 😛
well i’m tired cy’all later
Alright I put up a Clefairy on GTS with a message for Mold Breaker Exacadrill…..lets see how generous and truthful the world really is….
they’ll give u an ordinary Excadrill…
I know….sadly, but I have many more Clefairies…so let’s see what happens =/
ok take it easy
peace out y’all!
I have a steel safari with excadrill. I can’t get you a mold breaker one
Oh really can you, what would you like in return? Just ask away!
I will look now. What do you have
I have a ton of pokemon with hidden abilities hidden ability starters…you name it!
Ok finally caught it
Are you looking for fairies like togepi? I have those! Or maybe hidden ability dratini?
I got a dratini from someone on here who needed a luxio. Don’t remember who it was? Also I have togepi
HA Froakie, chespin, fennekin, nidoran, bergmite
HA fletchling,
tyrunt , amaura, omanyte, tirtouga, kabuto,
I will take the nidoran. I have all the starters and can get them with hidden abilities. Also I can get many excadrills
I’ll breed you one give me a few minutes!
Actually if you have an extra tyrunt. I only have amaura
Sure Tyrunt, any nature you want? I’ll breed you one
No and I need a few minutes just looking for an extra for maple
Alright I’ll let you know when I’m done
Same
Oh actually I realized I had two in my PC ^_^. I can trade you one of them right now!
Ok jus catching the extra
my in-game name is Anartya
Ok I caught the extra. I will send the request
Thank you so much! I’ve looking for this for days! xD
No problem thank you. You could’ve asked after the fire emblem conversation
yeah xD I had no idea you would have it haha xD
We’ll I didn’t but I had a safari
I have a lot of friend safaris but still no fairy so a lot of pokemon
For this you may have Adamant stealth rock larvitar with perfect IVs in attack, defence, special defence, and speed.
Oh really? That’s awesome. It’s good I decided to take it. Thanks
Could I please have one too?
I’ll give you one once I breed this!
Sure I will get another
send me a trade request when you are ready please.
sure to be mold breaker.
Yeah I am looking
Thanks so much.
Found one
Ok just found one. That was quick
Everyone ready?
Si
Ok. How does this work exactly?
I invite 3 other players. We get to pick teams, then click Battle Start. We each choose 3 Pokemon since we’re teamed up with someone else. Think of it like you and Steven Stone vs Maxie and Tabitha.
Ok, I know what a multi battle is, I just didn’t know how to invite.
Oh, if you’re doing the invites, you click someone you want to battle, then change it to 4 player battle. That’ll allow you to click on 2 other players.
Ready 😀
YT strategy.
YouTube strategy? Young Teen strategy? Yamcha Tien strategy?
We talk on YouTube xP
I was right the first time.
Anyone have shiny ditto?
Not me.
I will give Zap Dos goes to anyone who can get me a shiny ditto
Do you want it just because? A shiny Ditto doesn’t increase the chances of getting a shiny…
I want it just because
Hey johnhocker I see you want to trade is there anything you need?
I saw your headline said “Togepi” so I thought you needed one, so I was gonna send one your way, but I see you already have one haha
No. Sorry. I put that before. I have one and the reason I have been asking for a fairy safari is just to have it. It ended up the togepi someone traded me had good iv. So I tried breeding with a good ditto. Thank you anyway
NOSTALGIA! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AizR-825hV4
I actually like this song…
This is the best version of this too by the way.
Someone needs to click Battle Start xD
Check YT 🙂
Do you two have the exact same team?
Not this time lol.
Kinda.
REVENGE
@Jordin, Spam bot got me, gotta wait an hour. It disappears after a certain amount of damage.
OHH that’s why! I never seem to use it properly :
Yeah, it can be tough trying to set it up.
Should I delete that move and stay with SD?
It’s up to you 🙂 Mine’s a slightly different strategy than you had. You could also go all offense and give it the Choice Band.
Then I would have to switch out to use a different move :
Does it learn U-Turn?
Nope, but Flygon does 😀
Is it better than Flygon? Flygon or Garchomp?
Garchomp is better stat wise, being a Psuedo. But Flygon is one of my favorite Pokemon. Nice ability too with Levitate.
Hmm… I don’t know xD
I like Flygon more than Garchomp! 😀
So do I! But I won’t train another one since I have a Shiny Flygon waiting to transfer ^_^
Ahhh so that’s the reason! xD
Terrible IVs, but I don’t care 🙂
Psh…my Flygon is in-game and and awesome :D. I realized actually that all of it’s IVs except defence is above 20 with HP at 30 but quirky nature xD
Hmm, now I’m curious what the exact IVs of my Shiny are. Thanks to that calculator, I’ll now check!
How did you find yours?
Masuda Method. I have 2 Shiny Flygons actually. The first one is a Quiet Nature, and then I realized I could equip Evertone for nature, so I hunted for another one and got Jolly.
How long did it take? 😛
Both hunts lasted about a month, the second one took longer.
I don’t really like Masuda Method because of Mudkip XD
I understand completely xD
Flygon is cooler. Especially when shiny. It’s almost as cool as its pre-evolution.
Should I shiny hunt for a shiny Trapinch?
Yes.
It would take forever. Should I Masuda Method to at least get good IVs?
I don’t even do that.
And Crobat.
I am the 11th voter 😀
12th 😀 It’s godly!
I thought the poll was supposed to be Singles or Doubles for the tournament xD I’m waiting to vote for Singles 😀
There’s a poll?
On the side of the screen there’s a poll. They said they’re gonna be making a poll asking us how we want the Pokejungle Tournament to be formatted, either Single Battle or Double Battle.
Me too
Yay 😀
Im breeding an all new singles team right now.
It’s good nobody voted for 1 2 or 3. I am surprised about 4. I gave it a 5.
What did everyone vote for and why?
Gave it a 5. It’s just too good
I forgot who’s Vincent?
Wait is it you king Phoenix. If so what did you want to trade?
Zapdos for shiny ditto
Me
Ok you asked me to trade and I quit because I didn’t know what you wanted
Shiny ditto if you have
No I don’t sorry. I wish I did for myself. And I am able to get zapdos
Two days and still no Male Litleo with the right iVs. I won’t give up! I will get Roary! Trixie will have a man!
Or king?
Being a freshman sucks, and don’t you forget it XD
So what are your highest level pokemon in your X/Y?
100. My team.
My team will get to level 100 right after I make it.
Chesnaught. The only one to make it to 100.
I have a Talonflame at level 100 and 2 Ambipoms, one at level 100 and one at level 81
Why two Ambipoms?
Pick Up Ability better chances xD
Oh God. Don’t tell me Pick Up has something to do competitively.
Not really it’s mainly for PP Up. But I’m also trying to get a 2nd Leftovers
Interesting… Good luck. Lol.
Yeah finding Leftovers is like finding a shiny….
I wish we could transfer items over from Gen 5. I hate having to start anew.
Same. At least make leftovers something you can buy at Maison or let wild pokemon have it….but pick up is the only way sadly! =/
Hm… Check garbage cans in the village and the abandoned Hotel or whatever from time to time. Pokemon that flee from the can may leave a leftovers behind.
Have you gotten rotom from garbage cans in the lost hotel
Nope. Didn’t realize they were there. I normally find Bannette or something in them.
Serebii says that on Tuesdays you can find them in the garbage cans
Hm.. Okay. I didnt know that. Thanks.
Yeah. I still haven’t gotten one
I have a couple I’ve been traded but I haven’t caught one
Wait really? O_o….I need to try that is it also in lost hotel?
Yeah plus on Tuesdays you can get rotom from the garbage cans in the lost hotel
Yeah. I’ve found PP Up in them.
79 Flame body talonflame from beating the game, but greninja is 76 from battle chateau marquis and hunting for lucky eggs.
I actually hunted for lucky eggs. I had a pokemon with frisk. When I found one I decided to stop now I have 2
I have four, but one was because my brother restarted his game.
I wonder if when poke bank starts if people will restart their game because they can put all their pokemon from x and y there
A chansey used bestow on my talonflame…..it gave me a lucky egg O_o
I got a lucky punch from bestow. It’s free items without having to catch
I have about 30 lucky punches.
O_o
Yveltal, delphox charizard, florges all 100
Heliolisk 97
Vivillon 83
This is my adventure team. Also I used a reset bag for yveltal so I could super train him and now he has perfect sp attack
I need to know the best place to fish and the Pokemon that live in that water! Help?
Do you have the shiny ditto
No I do not 🙁
Luvdisc. Route 8 only pokemon in water if using old rod
I guess a gold Luvdisc couldn’t hurt…
Huntail, Octillery, and uh… Something else in Azure Bay.
@regi, After using the calculator, my Shiny (Jolly) Flygon has the following IVs:
30 HP
28 Attack
31 Defense
30 Special Attack
3 Special Defense
1 Speed.
Which calculator? I would like to check the IVs of one of my Pokemon 😀
http://pokemonshowdown.com/damagecalc/
Put in the base stats of the Pokemon. Select the right nature and level the Pokemon is at. Then put in the EVs you gave it. Then subtract your Pokemon’s stats from the number in each resulted stat.
Thanks 😀 Could we have a special shiny battle?
??
A battle where we use our shiny Pokemon 😀
I haven’t even trained them and you have more than me xP
I haven’t trained mines either XD It’s just for fun!
I need to get them, hold on xD
No items.
Rematch? XD
In a minute, gotta check Squitle’s Safari 🙂
I have to go 🙁 Good night! 😀
Goodnight 🙂

I cannot see Gamefreak not making gen 3 remakes. Their are so many references to places in Hoenn. There is a woman in Camprier town talking about Hot springs behind Pokemon Centers, that is obviously a reference to Lavaridge town. There is also a couple who say that their 40th anniversary is a Ruby anniversary and their 45th is a sapphire one.
Thats like a money fight between Stark and Batman.
well the first four are amazing…..xD
Yeah xD The Speed is sorta depressing…
wait did you ever battle with it?
I hunted for it in B2. Then EV trained the Trapinch. Then traded it to my new W2 game to start my journey there.
So you took the EVs into account right?
Yup indeed.
I keep thinking you got Flygon from Emerald….xD
My Flygon’s Speed at Level 100 is 298.
super, super jealous, that is the one shiny I have always wanted! congrats on getting it tho! 😀
Thanks! Got it in Gen 5, waiting to transfer it 🙂
nice! I consider that even more lucky, seeing as how it is so easy to get them this gen, if I had someone with a safari with trapinch I would spend way too much time in there lol, the shinies I have caught are all one I wasn’t really aiming for lol
You should try the Masuda Method 😀 That’s how I got my Shiny Trapinch 🙂
All I need is a foreign ditto! I tried trading one and got one from Holland, but from someone playing in english, so I’m not sure if that would work or not =/
I have a Shiny Trapinch from Japan in Gen 5. When PokeBank comes out, I could trade you that? Just give me it back when you find the Shiny 🙂
really? that would be awesome! I appreciate that so much! I’ve never done MM so this should be fun! 😛 I believe I have your friend code already, right?
4441-8622-5952?
well now I have you! I thought I added you before, here’s mine 4785-5493-7931
Gonna have to delete another person on my list to add you xD Will do so after this battle against Jordin 🙂
How do you delete friends on 3DS?
Click the Smiley face, click settings, and delete anyone you want.
I won’t delete you don’t worry…XD But I have a few unconfirmed ones…
That is helpful I actually have about 14 unconfirmed ones that’s been there for awhile 🙂
Thank you 😀
wow someone’s super popular! lol when you get a chance could you check my safari? I have been told different things by people and I’m not sure which is true, my in game name is Flynn
No problem!
Not a Shiny Trapinch xD I have a REGULAR Trapinch from Japan xD
hahahaha well that is still awesome! 😛
I found a shiny chansey
just like me 😀
When :D?
About 2 weeks ago I think it was my first shiny in X/Y
QUICK, check if it has a lucky egg!
No
LUCKY
That is amazing:D
Ok I am getting off now. Thanks again for the tyrunt regidudeam and the larvitar maple
No prob xD
Thank you for the Excadrill! 😀
You’re welcome. I have a lot of safaris if you need something else let me know but it will have to wait till tomorrow
Thank You.
