PokéJungle Winter Tournament ’13/’14 Sign-Ups — Closed!

by

A few weeks back we revealed our plans to launch a network wide tournament, mainly taking place on PokéJungle.net. We asked our readers to complete a quick survey regarding competitive battling and their skills and opinions on how we should hold our tournament.

Today we are pleased to announce that the tournament will begin in the coming weeks once all preparations are complete. However, we can’t start a tournament without competitors! As such we’re proud to open sign-ups for our tournament. The sign-up period will last for approximately 72 hours, after which we will close the submission platform, sort entrees and contact any unsuccessful sign-ups. Official tournament rules will be released in the coming days alongside finalised battle formats and more, so please stay tuned!

It is important that if you wish to take part, you fill the form below with correct information. If we believe the information you have provided is incorrect we will sadly have to disqualify you from the tournament. If you wish to back out of the tournament after signing up we will provide a form later for you to fill out, it’s likely back outs will have to count as a forfeit. As always if you have and questions of queries please feel free to contact us or chat with us in the comments or site chat!

Keep a look out for a cool new site theme soon!

Sign-ups are now closed, look out for a new post soon!

Don’t forget to Like us on Facebook, Follow us on Twitter, register on our forums, and take part in some great discussion with other Pokémon fans!  Please remember to follow our Community Guidelines too, we don’t want anyone getting in trouble for misbehaving!

    • I believe its activate in a patch of grass. go to shaky grass, encounter, run/fight, watch grass again. i believe that the faster the grass, the better chance of continuing a chain you have, because fast grass supposedly means the same pokemon from the previous encounter. shinning shaky grass is a guaranteed shiny, then the chain resets itself.

  3. I would sign up but i’m still team building.
    I already have a mega gardevoir on my team.
    Should i swap Gourgeist (Ghost/Grass) and Houndoom (Fire/Dark) for Shifty/Cacturne (Grass/Dark) and Chandelure (Ghost/Fire) or not?

          • Speed? That’s unorthodox. He has really nice HP and mixed with the defense he can eat up attacks. What is Gardevoir maxed in? I feel like you need a special wall. Snorlax maybe. It will also allow to to switch into Ghost type moves that are effective against Gourgeist and Gardevoir.

          • Whoops. Hp and Def..xD
            Gardevoir – Speed Sp atk
            Nidoking- Speed Attack
            Lanturn- Hp Def
            Gourgeist- ???
            Houndoom- Sp.Atk Speed
            Noivern- Sp.Atk Speed.

          • Well right now you have no special walls and 3 special sweepers. One physical attacker isn’t enough (have you seen Jordin’s Blissey XD). Gourgeist need Def. some HP and some Special Defense to be viable.

          • Noivern is good, and Gardevoir is a total sweeper xD I might need to swap Houndoom for another fire type but i’m not sure which to swap it for.

          • Sadly, the available fire-types in the game are measly, not counting Talonflame and M. Blaziken. Camerupt is good for sp. def. and switching into Lanturn is a great counter for water types.

          • Lanturn knows Volt switch so it can be swapped out anytime.
            What about other fire types that aren’t currently available in this game?

          • In game, nine tales is bulky in sp. def. Out of game, theres heatran and not much else. Firetypes are not known for bulk.

          • R U joking? Houndoom is bawse. Chandelure can’t be mixed. Houndoom can! Houndoom M. Evolvs, and Unnerve really helps against Lum Berry Dnites. And he;s faster than chandy, and specially bulkier i believe.

          • His defense and HP are thin and he is really useful if you want to get a couple good hits in quickly, but Chandelure has more endurance and a wider movepool to counter its weaknesses, i.e. energy ball. I might be biased because I’ve never really liked Houndoom much.

          • How do you not like Houndoom? he is the epitomy of badass Pokemon. He’s the only real reason i remember gen2 exists. Anyway, now that Chandy lost shadow Tag, he really isn’t as good. Flame Body is okay, but most people use special attackers against it. and besides, Houndoom can cover it’s weaknesses. I normally run D. Pulse, Flamethrower, Solarbeam, and Sludge Bomb. But i swap out Flamethrower for HP Water for my rain houndoom. Chandy has uses, but i find more use in houndoom, personal bias aside

          • I’ve only ever found solar beam useful in a Sun team, and on Houndoom, you can’t really afford that extra turn to load-up.

          • Depends on the situation. You could run power herb, but i find that SolarBeam should be used for predictions. and if not solarbeam, i use Shadow ball. the sp.def drop is really useful in a lot of situations.

          • True. But then that leave you open to attacks from Water and Rock/Ground types. I guess it all comes down to opinions and preferences.

          • Yeah, and opponents. since everyone always uses the same pokemon, you know what to carry. so many Dnites and Scizors

    • Personally, I’ve never used Gourgeist, but i think it’s better than Cacturne, unless you want to go for water Absorb cacturne with spikes. Houndoom beats Chandelure always, unless you’re talking about trick room, then Chandy wins. And typing wise, Chandy has the advantage, but Houndoom has Sucker Punch, which is great with all these megas and such

  4. I think I’ll sign up for the next tournament. I’m too busy with other stuff at the moment. I also want to focus on my round 2 submission to PJM, but I still don’t have a topic.
