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!

Considering using 3 Rare Candies over doing Le Wow once more for 3 levels…oy, why must this Pokemon require so much experience xD
If you haven’t beat your rival yet today, you can give the Pokemon Lucky Egg and switch it in and out each of your rival’s Pokes to get a good chunk of experience 🙂
I’ll go do that! Thanks 😀
Bags are packed! Off to the airport in 3 hours!
TC just challenge me when your done kk?
Wow that Rival Battle grew me 8 levels xD Time to evolve, and then I’ll be ready Earthen!
awesome we haven’t battled in a while
Always a good go-to for quick leveling!
GG Earthen, I had to go to dinner soon after the battle 😛
Ok LETS RUMBLE!!!
does anybody have a friend safari with frogadiers in them?
I do. 3196-3755-8807
for real 😛 can you add me please? fc: 1349-5256-2346
I’m sorry about that. I didn’t see this comment :/ I’m adding you this minute! I do have Protean Froakies I have bred if you want one
alright thanks! And if i have good internet connection on my 3ds i am willing to trade with you but i don’t know what you want? i have tyrogue’s!
GG Earthen 🙂
Who won?
TC a nail biting switch-a-thon between My Gliscor and His Gliscor and my Mamoswine
Gliscor vs Gliscor *shudders*
Hey Chaos, would you like to battle?
Errr…not at the moment, not really in the mood, plus I haven’t battled (or even played) for nearly a week, I think.
Maybe some time over the weekend.
Okey dokey 🙂
Longest battle ever!
TCMets you are in fact a worthy adversary and I humbly and honorably submit to you
GG
Thanks! Mamoswine worried me, wasn’t sure if Scorpio would be able to survive! And I was expecting you to lead off with Hippowdon based on our previous battles xD How did you like Shea? That’s my new team member 🙂
That move really annoyed me (Both of them)
And I was so sure that this time i’d get my revenge on Mush using my Gliscor
And I really need a Focus Sash for Nidoking
I wasn’t gonna lead off with Mush because I wanted to see what Shea could do ;D
By any chance, does your Nidoking have Sheer Force?
shyeah he does
It was a Gift from Ziiachan
Ohhh, then you should definitely consider giving Nidoking Life Orb 🙂
That’s all fine and dandy but the problem isn’t him attacking it that he’s fragile to any weakness
I’m trying to make a good EV spread for my Shiny Calm Gardevoir. It has 31IVs in Def/Sp.D/Speed My Current spread is Hp48/Sp.D208/Spe252 with Calm Mind, Moonblast, Will-o-wisp, Wish and Gardevoirite. Any suggestions? I have a Reset Bag just in case a Good Set is provided.
Can Gyarados learn Bounce this gen?
nope, it was a tutor move last gen
Oh well that’s shame. Thanks
no prob
no it’s a gen 5 move only
Guess I’ll wait till pokebank in a couple weeks
yeah you should do that but i meant that gyrados can only learn it in gen 5.
Yeah I get that now but I mean i’ll probably send one with bounce
yeah i thought that i didn’t wrote it very well
It was fine
Alright thanks for saying !
just remember that bounce gyarados can’t be used in VGC
Really? Wynaut?
Bounce isn’t breedable and pokes brought into X/Y through pokebank can’t be used in the VGC
I see, thanks. Guess i’ll teach it ice fang/earthquake instead
What does VGC stand for
Video Game Competition I think, basically the official Pokemon competition held almost every year
Timo, wanna battle?
Yep, got my new poke!
Cool! 😀
Buizel’s post actually got me interested in the VGC rules so i went and read them, apparently you can’t use pokes from BW/BW2
Nope, gotta be Kalos caught or Kalos bred. At least we can use them in Friend Battles.
Heres the quote: “Kalos Native
Pokémon used in the Standard Format must be native to the Kalos region in Pokémon X or Pokémon Y. A
native Pokémon is a Pokémon that is hatched, distributed to, or caught in Pokémon X or Pokémon Y.
Pokémon that have been transferred to Pokémon X or Pokémon Y via Pokémon Bank or Poké
Transporter are not native.”
so if i transfer my totodile and than breed it in pokemon y it will be native?
Yes 🙂
I thought you’d switch to shea lol
Here he is 🙂
Fudge
Thanks!
Yup
alright nice!
Such speed
Much Extreme
Shea the Doge
I have a question. Does infiltrator allow non attacking moves to hit through subs as well i.e. Will-o-wisp, Toxic e.t.c
Infiltrator negates all protecting effects of Substitute, so yes
Cool. Thanks
If Nature Power turns into Tri Attack on Wi-Fi battles, does Aurorus get a Refrigerate boost on Nature Power?
Yes! So it’s stronger than Ice Beam!
And has the chance of inflicting three different statuses as well! I’m surprised Aurorus hasn’t been getting the same treatment that Pinsir gets, probably because it’s slower
I prefer hyper beam + choice specs tbh.
I despise choice items and moves that make you need to recharge, I don’t really like the concept of wasting a turn for a stronger move.
Meh I was just kidding. Why would I use an aurorous competitively?
Because you’re a hipster?
Slower and weak to Earthquake, Close Combat, Surf, Bullet Punch, Grass Knot, Stone Edge. All of those moves are really common and most of them are TMs
perhaps some defense investment and trick room setup might remedy this, I’m pretty fond of slower, bulkier pokes so maybe I’ll take a crack at using him after I finish my next team
My whole team is Bulky pokemon, but I only like bulky pokemon with plenty of resistances to common moves. Weaknesses aren’t important as long as there are solid resistances. Aurorus should never invest in defense, but it should definitely invest in Sp.Def!. I reccomend Assault Vest + Sandstorm Support. You will be amazed at it’s special bulk!
In fact, this is fanstastic partner for Aurorus! Physically Defensive Hippowdon + Assault Vest Aurorus!!!
Aurorus can take out grass/water/ice pokemon that Hippo hates with Freeze Dry + Rock Move, while Hippo, can tank all of the Bullet Punches, Close Combat, Earthquakes, Stone Edges thrown at Aurorus!
not too shabby, If I do say so myself, although I like hail more IMO, Sandstorm teams are awesome, any other pokemon that would fit these two?
Gliscor! works beautifully! I would also consider Magic Guard Pokemon as well! Like Clefable with Wish or Reuniculus!
Looking at its stats and common weaknesses to moves, it seems like it should have more physical defense to compensate for its common weaknesses to Bullet Punch, Earthquake, etc. However I don’t completely disagree with Assault Vest+Sandstorm, Aurorus doesn’t really NEED non-attacking moves and big defenses are always welcome to me. btw Why does Aurorus get so much electric coverage? it gets Thunder Wave, Charge Beam, Discharge, Magnet Rise, etc.
Whats pinsirs treatment?
Pinsir got a lot of popularity from Aerilate giving it a Quick Attack on par with an ExtremeSpeed, plus it’s Mega’s stats are monstrous
I was gonna breed one next, but I didn’t know that it was that powerful.
TCMets i gottta go
No problem, take care!
Goodbye shellder! I will miss your cute lil face and poking your tounge in pokemon amie but now you have razor shell a water stone is needed!
Hello
Hey!
Hai
Most intense battle ever.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/oubeta-67915280
Lol. You were obviously not worth his time
It just says “Ithsme won the battle!”
The guy forfeit before the match even started
Yup. It was a hard fought battle on both sides.
Ferrothorn is sweeping in a battle I’m currently doing.
2intense 5me
Is TCMets here?
Present.
I replied xD Who’s “Shea?” I want to see this new team member :O
It’s Anubis
Lucario?
Nope.
I could have sworn it was…
Nah
Arcanine?
Nope.
Dammit….ok I’m stumped
Just saw your message, those nicknames are no problem, and it’s a male 🙂
And wanna see Shea in battle now?
Sure 😀
Don’t say who it is ;P
Oh I see xD Regi?
Yup
He traded me so I could breed 🙂
I know what it is! xD
TCMets I’m back from my errands
Battling Jordin now 😛
I know… I looked below lol
BTW, who’s better? TCMets or Jordin?
Equal.
Me… or Jordin… or TCMets
I’d say TC myself, my Spiritomb crushed Jordin’s monster everyone seemed to fear
Timo.
IDK really myself, both of them destroy me when I battle them… Just watch the tournaments finalists be these two :3
regi.
Regi vs Ziia lol
How good is Ziia?
She beat Regi… thats all I need to know…
My new goal is to beat them all.
I’ve only battled regi once, needless to say, he suffered a lot of hax from yours truly, he’d probably crush me in singles tho
Hello! How do you do? 🙂
AHHHHHHHHH!
Welp, that’s it. All our competitive dreams are screwed.
LOL xD
Seriously.
I’m quite fine, good sir, how do you do as well?
Delightful I might say! A tad peckish, but fine nevertheless!
I’m feeling quite pessimistic today, so nothing out of the ordinary for me.
Battled him once, and he wrecked me. Plus he has a lot of experience/knowledge on competitive play. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him as the winner
I’m sure there are a lot of people who aren’t here on PJ, who are probably more experienced! xD
True, but you will always someone who is more experienced. I still reckon your probably one the best from our little community…
Unless someone haxes you to death
I don’t know, there are a lot of people who signed up who I have never seen on Discus
If I make it to the finals, I’ll throw the battle just to make them win.
Lol
I’ll battle, but not well.
I bet they will be TC and regi.
I think I beat Jordin once, but lost to TC on every occasion, if I remember correctly
DEFINITELY TC. I always lose my battles with him.
u no its me bby
No, you’re just handsome lol
I’m sick of forfieters. Also sick of “pokejungle.net is not responding!”. Whatevs. Also, why did stealth rock not touch charizard?
It hits charizard X only I think
Nope, it completely devastates all Charizards
y not this one?
Ithsme, does any of your pokemon have Rapid spin?
No, so I’m screwed.
wat about defog?
nope. I hate that.
then idk why not.
Charizard is so badass, the rocks melted?
Does anyone want to battle?
I would… but dat sun tho
Shea is going to be a pain to deal with in the future :/ Welp, looks like another battle with TCMets is lost :/
Wait who is Shea, I refreshed and lost the thread. Sry!
He’s my Fire type for now while I don’t have Robin xD
but but who?
And y no robin?
Jordin is using Robin to hopefully find a Shiny Fletchling.
Wait Shea is a guy’s name? :O
Shea was the name of the Mets old ballpark, Shea Stadium xD But I looked it up, it also means courageous/majestic and stuff xD
rapidash?
Pronounced “Shay”
Shanaynay?
I hope not…
This is my favorite one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1rcTSyeuOA
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here’s me not clicking that link
Does it have the movesets that I think it has? xD
Yup xD
Did he impress you in your battle against Jordin? 😀
He can take an un-intimidated Garchomp Earthquake xD
That’s my boy! xD
:'(
meh, I’ve gotten through that anyway, what else?
He switches into Scorpio…
who?
Poison…
a Gliscor? meh, anything else?
Ok, seriously what the hell is this thing, Torkoal?
Should we tell him?
*Looks at regi*
I already guessed Arcanine, and Torkoal is the only other thing I can see taking an Earthquake from Garchomp
Jordin told you Nope, not me 😉
So it is…I know I’m right, and if it is, I’m relieved because I can handle it quite well….I think
Don’t underestimate him! His base stats will only fool you! xD
Sadly, yes.
Ahhh!!!!! That’s very fitting! 😀
I thought he was a girl at first.. Sorry Shea! XD
Is he a ponyta tell the truth
Ahh….a clue…hmmm…interesting
