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 see. Doesn’t Talonflame get Will O miss? A Gale WIngs Burn stall set could beat non chesto rest Rotom i think, but i’d have to test it out

        Reply

          • Okay? Hydro Pump isn’t really reliable to me. THe amount of battles lost because of Hydro Miss is too damn high for me to use it. I normally use a Pain Split Rotom Fan set.

          • Rotom -W typically has max HP and max def. Even Choice Band Brave Bird can’t 3HKO. And 99% of rotom-W are chesto rest. Hydro Pump missing 3 times in a row is really unlikely!

          • Yeah, but that’s why I don’t plan on BRave Birding Rotom. As a matter of fact, as unlikely as it is, a Grass type Natural Gift would be the only chance physical T flames have against Rotom W, the wretched cur. However, special T. Flames can Solarbeam, and, if the sun is up, Hydro Pump wouldn’t do as much. T. FLames bulk isn’t the best, but it isn’t the worst either. And how often do Rotom W have special investment?

          • Rarely! Bulky Offense is the popular playstyle! Natural Gift works once! And it does a bit more than half, but never a OHKO. Talonflame’s atk is not very high!

          • Okay chill, no need for exclamations reg. Look, a bit more than half. A crit might Ko, and special T. FLame is obviously never heard off, so it wouldn’t be expected. Call it biased, but I’m tired of seeing Rotom W. I prefer Rotom Fan competitively, as Pain Split Rotom Fan has beaten Rotom Wash on multiple occasions for me. I was asking why everyone uses Bold on rotom, not the fact that rotom w counters tflame. i never plan on using rotom wash anyway. I wondered why bulky rotom is more common than offensive period, or pain split. i go for the unexpected, so popular playstyles are lost on me, which is why bold seemed like an odd nature

          • I wasn’t arguing against you. I put exclamation marks for emphasis. I’m sorry if you took it offensively.

          • I didn’t. I thought i offended you actually, made me thinking i was picking on one of your favorite pokemon. I just can’t stand all of the rotom wash and scizor and d.nite i see. there are over 700 pokemon, why only use those three? I understand that they are in OU for a reason, but something different, like Meowstic, Barbaracle, Skuntank, Rotom Fan or anything else is what i want to see.

          • Oh I know. In fact, I never use the commonly used pokemon. Most of my team is with underrated pokemon like Chesnaught and Arcanine. But I’ve played a ton on Showdown, and I had to design my team to counter the popularly used ones. And so I researched what they typically ran so I could design my team to counter it. That’s why I know so much about it.

          • Yeah, i understand. I understand the feeling of having to play a certain way instead of the way you want. Having to play with choice items just to ko pokemon you couldn’t otherwise. I take it you use chesnaught to counter rotom. What do you counter d nite with? I use Weavile or Alakazam.

          • Actually I don’t really have a solid counter to Rotom-W. But for Dragonite, I typically bring in arcanine with intimidate and burn it with will-o-wisp so Weakness policy or dragon dance is made useless while healing back up with morning sun. I play more stall/defensively. Then I switch to chesnaught and lay spikes and heal with synthesis.

          • I see. Seems like a good strategy. BUt what about Toxic Heal Gliscor. I normally use Exploud, as Boomburst goes through sub.

          • Yeah Stall teams are hard to use because you have to make sure that your opponent doesn’t set up on you. For gliscor, I use Magic Guard Clefable can wall it all day with wish + protect. And it doesn’t care about Toxic. I give it good enough defensive investment to avoid 2HKOs from Earthquake. While I just keep up the Moonblasts .

          • Clefable? odd choice. I figured Skill Link Cloyster would be the obvious choice for most Gliscor. When i used Poison HEal Gliscor, i ran elemental fangs and eq or sub, protect, night slash sky uppercut. But clefable sounds decent. Do you get a lot of negative feedback and rage quits with your stally stategies

          • Oh yeah but that’s more in lower ladder. Once you get to 2000+, people battle more seriously and don’t rage quit. In lower ladders, people just want to 6-0 the opponent, and if they can’t do that then they just rage quit.

          • I know that feel. Rage quitters really make Pokemon boring And the funny thing is, Smogon, the supposed leading community in competitive battling, is filled with more immature rage quitters than PO or here.

          • You find that most of the people on smogon/smogon forums actually know very little about competitive battling.They are more trend followers. The moderators on Smogon however know their stuff. The have been playing competitively since RSE.

          • Hmm. But their writers for the Smog are terrible. At least the ones for that mega cool or mega drool article

          • Yeah I found the recent article quite dry actually. It’s probably because some of the veterans are retiring from smogon. I also find the quality of the posts nowadays to be quite poor.

          • Mhmm. That’s why i stay away from Smogon. And serebiiforums is just terrible. So terrible. That’s why i like to be here

          • Same reason as well! I never was a fan of either of the forums, so I joined PJ! I still visit the smogon forums, but the quality is so bad now.

          • I made an account, shared my opinion on little cup sets that i liked, was ridiculed, flipped out and never came back. Serebii forums was so horrible, i was infracted three times for going head to head with a mod. the people there are horrible, but Pj is so much better. i just wish everyone wasn’t in the blasted chat all the time

          • I’ll join you sure! And sorry about making my posts seem a bit harsh, I try to avoid the exclamation marks more xD
