Don’t forget to check out our Corocoro updates here and here!
Much, much later than we wished to, we’re bringing our readers the penultimate update on the 2014 PokéJungle Tournament before the first battles commence. We’ve decided to make some changes to the format of the tournament to help with how it’ll run when we begin later this month.
PJT ’14 Format Changes
At the end of May we announced that our tournament would run over five rounds, with players earning points in each round and the top 8 players after all rounds proceeding to three elimination rounds, this has now changed.
The changes we’ve made have been done so to remove the pressure of having to be available for the entire period of the tournament. Players will now be placed into groups, in these groups every player will battle one another once. When all battles have been completed (and tie-breakers completed if necessary) the top player from each group will move forward into the elimination rounds.
Players will need to confirm participation below so we can finalise groups and group balancing before the start date of the tournament. Group stage battles will take place over the same dates as the Rounds were previously planned to take place, with a maximum of three groups battling at any time. All match-ups posted before now are to be ignored.
As it stands any drop outs will no longer be filled by stand-ins, until we announce otherwise.
We have also decided to push the tournament start date back. This is to allow participants time to confirm their entry (see below) and for us to finalise players in each group.
Lavender, Camphrier & Driftveil Group Battles – July 23 — July 27
Canalave, Sunyshore & Cinnabar Group Battles – July 28 — August 1
Ecruteak, Fallarbor & Lumiose Group Battles – August 2 — August 6
Goldenrod, Undella. & Rustboro Group Battles – August 7 — August 11
Final Elimination Rounds – August 13 onwards.
Participant Entry Confirmation
It has been a while since we first opened sign-ups to the tournament, and it’s likely some of those who signed-up are now unable to take part, or simply do not wish to. As such we’ve decided that participants must now confirm their entry using the form below by July 17. Those who do not do so will be removed from the tournament and unable to participate. If you have changed your username since this list was created please inform us and we will change it accordingly.
The following participants are required to fill out the form:
weavileforthewin • EarthenWarrior • Javi Wonka ツ • Miniryu-NInja • RocketClauncher

Another win for me. 😀
loving showdown i see:)
I don’t love it. It’s merely a tool. A useful one. 🙂
So, I’m guessing since Serebii hasn’t updated, Get TV didn’t have any new footage/ news? Or is it going on right now? I wouldn’t know, I rarely tune into Get tv…
It’s Get TV, did you really expect new footage?
I don’t know, I guess not. A part of me did think that we were going to get actual footage of Mega Metagross. They are probably just having us wait until they release official trailers.
So no mini-giveaway?Ok bye then.
Maybe you should try again when there are more people online. Like in the afternoon tomorrow
so much for never coming back ever again
Back from the party! 😀
mario party
heavy, Ammy doesn’t have the password to her account anymore, but she wants to let you know how thankful she is!! 🙂
Can you do me a favour?
What?
You can breed HP fire right. Could you breed me something with HP fire? If it’s too much trouble it doesn’t matter
Depends on what and if I have the Pokemon xD But if I do, sure 😛
Magnet Pull Magnemite?
I can try! D: Nature?
Modest. And thank you very much.
No problem 🙂
Scratch that, I’m gonna breed it xD 🙂
Just gotta breed two more flawless Quaggy and I’ll get to work on it!
wait, what the … Aegislash is up for suspect of being banned? Just because its unpredictable? Then again, since I mostly battle you guys [using mixed tiers], I never notice the trouble an aegislash can be cause my charizard usually kill it or something … but it being unpredictable sounds kinda…dumb x: i thought that was a good thing, not knowing every move of your opponents.
the most unpredictable pokemon in the metagame is charizard damn that thing is so hard to predict
yea and I heard he was/is going to be suspected..oorrr did XD guess he made it out alive.
i wouldnt be surprised. like i know you use Y but when i battle other people outside from here i dont know what he will evolve and whats his moveset, defensive MCX looks to be a new thing right now
Hey that is supposed to be a sceret
who says that you are using one #bustedyourself
What is a sceret? Can I eat it?
Defensive Mega Charizard X… Thats new
there so many ways to use a pokemon you never know what to expect;)
It’s kind of stupid really. If you don’t know what something is going to do, it’s dreamed too strong. What the hell?
yeaaa.. some bans I get but this one… eh.. idk .. I also heard the deoxys people got banned too. I can kinda understand i think. i actually didnt look into their reasons but defense super is mega bulk
Yeh. Same. I didn’t agree with the Deoxys ones either to be honest. But whatever…I think they get bored.
This is why I don’t play by Smogon format. It’s run by 12 year olds that don’t have any skill whatsoever.
Meh, I wouldn’t say 12 year olds. They do a lotta technical things to come to these conclusions, I just think they think very … idk.. not outside the box? their skill revolves around the sets the community made so they are pretty skillful [or at least some.] but if they fought someone who didn’t play by their rules, it’ll be a little hard. they’d have to scout the person to see if they play by their rules or their own rules and from there, they do whatever.
They are very theory based. They need to have everything down on paper. And when something deviates away from the ‘plan’, they panic.
yea XD this youtuber [i wont say his name lol] gets soooooo mad when he gets hax’d. someone substitute confuse ray’d him and he forfeited right away. or if he miss a move in like the first three rounds, he’d quit. its kindaaa sad to watch but some arent that mad so im at least glad about that.
Smogon is very unoriginal. You don’t learn strategies and counters or even get better simply by banning them.
It’s not THAT unpredictable. Do they even know how to counter it?
If it’s subject to ban, I doubt it.
Chico! No luck with shiny Feebas. You’ve failed me. :~:
That’s because I stole them all! 😀
I will steal your Mega Milotic and keep it for myself. :~:
Oh no! She’s mine! 😮
She’s mine now. >:o
I’LL KILL YOU BETCH! D:<
I’LL END YOU.
No more Heartless
Aegislash ban
since they go by tiers, i guess they dont think about it. can’t a charizard fire blast/flamethrower that thing to death?
I’m starting to notice how Smogon acts like the competitive Smash community.
how do they act? o:
Too strong? Banned. Items (unpredictability)? Banned. any stage beside Battlefield or Final Destination? Banned.
But it is so Obious when an Aegislash is gonna use Kings Sheild
Obvious
I thought so too xD
If there is anything I hate facing on showdown, it’s Landorus-I Sheer Force Life Orb and Kyurem-B
Oh my god. Lando I is a *insert bad word here*
It’s like what the **** do i switch into. The dude’s movepool spans across the horizon….
I know right. Fairy/Steel defensive core? Here have some Sludge Wave and Earth Power.
I was using a Gardevoir and Aggron core in UU, but then Gardevoir got moved to OU, where it was still good but that Lando I is a prick
Blissey/Chansey: Knock Off/Hammer Arm. Levitators: Gravity
Man. Lando is a Man. Both I and T.
the worst thing is you cant switch because is so obvious they gonna u-turn
Or Knock off
OMG the hiddent track sayonora (refrain) from b/w was slightly altered to become the kiseki credits theme in X/Y 0_______0
It’s not a hidden track, it was a bonus track on the Black and White ost. I’ve got the CD to prove it, too. but yeah, I can hear it.
well it wasnt in the games 😉 but yeah
Why did they all of the sudden decided they wanted to suspect test aegislash o.o that thing has been out since October and nobody complained XD
three words: special based aegislash
3 words brah
i just edited:(:( i just wanted to sound cool like in the movies bruh
*gives You Tried ribbon*
LMFAO I hate you xD
People don’t use Chesnaught a lot. Now were have this dilemna xD
It’s UU I think.
Yes but Chesnaught completely walls this thing. Only Flash Cannon/Hp Ice/Toxic variants have a chance. He gets roar for all the set up variants.
so does mandibuzz and mandibuzz is OU, i dont see why aegislash is being tested he is one the easiest bait to set up
I run Rocket Helmet Max HP and Defense Mandibuzz, and it destroys Aegislash every time.
Smogon is different… They’re always coming up with trashy reasons as to why they ban certain Pokemon. It’s done quite the damage to trainers but at the same time… we need both parties. It’s like Ravva and Vattu. 😀
lol, like I’m going to stop using one of my favorite pokemon just cause a bunch of people who treat pokemon as srys buisnus said I have to. XD
I hate Smogon cuz Altaria iznt gud enuf for dem
Wait till Mega Altaria comes and it goes to Ubers.
This is my dream ;_;
And it is NU?
Kangaskhan was NU. Was.
It me gad went to Ubers
one day altaria will shine meanwhile let her fly away
One day, Altaria will rise from the ashes of NU like a mighty Phoenix and kick the ever living Sh!t out of every OU and Uber pokemon.
I have a perfect Altaria set >:)
PM IT TO ME D:
As do I >:)
Mega Altaria will save the Pokemon!
I kind of wrecked somebody in Random Battle using Klingklang after a Shift Gear. 5 of his Pokemon were weak to steel and electric so I OHKO them all. XD
I love Shift Gear. Why don’t more Pokemon get it. Like Metagross for example…..aaargghhhh
one day smogon will realize that jynx is op and i will laugh at everybody who said she was too weak
Jynx is too good plz ban
jynx have a nice niche in doubles:3
So Altaria is special wall?
Both
Mixed, and is pretty good at it too :3
Kkkkkk. Just asking cause I never seen one and I wonder what it does.
Basically once it sets up Cotton Guard, you’re screwed XD But you can Roar it away or poison it and stall to counter it
Natural Cure baby
cant take a specs +2spA from porygon-z tho
Altaria is food.
That’s what I said! Deep fry it.
I think TC downvoted me. ;_;
He did for us a while back. XD
Dem chicken wings though
Eh, I like to mash altaria up and put it on my toast in the morning.
Well After one Cotton Spore it can be anything
But can it be a Magikarp?
Yes They are both gold shiny form
If an event Metagross is ever distributed with Shift Gear….and it’s only available in Japan. I will fly out to Japan just to get it.
or get a power save
I’d rather fly out to Japan. That way I get a holiday as well
i like to trade for the legit events on Gamefaqs. PS ones are usually terrible.
So i’m saying goodbye to Dusknoir
Phanpy is crying…
dusknoir so good
Aaaaaaand he griped us….
“Dusknoir is love” I say “Dusknoir…. is life”
Explorers of Sky
If anyone sees Random, please give him this: http://i.imgur.com/8vrIk2V.png
Thank you! 😀
is chritsmas here, i feel it. good job!:)
Thank you! 😀
I think he’s banned, but he goes on chat sometimes. I’ll give it to him if I can. Great job btw 😀
Thank you, it’s much appreciated! 😀
do people still stip before hatching eggs?
If I feel like it. It doesn’t really make a noticeable difference.
OH THAT’S JUST PERFECT
Me and Phanps just got sacked by a Sableye posse
Just my Luck
OH COME ON GAME
I can totally use a move to free us, i can freaking use Razor Leaf and cut us free, i barely need to move just whip my head
What game are you talking about?
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky
Dusknoir is a double crossing butt and tied us up
and i is a Turtwig
Steel/Fairy Mega Jirachi
600 BST –> 700 BST
STAB Moon Blast (possibly keep serene grace)
has the potential to be greatest poke ever tbh.
it’s third eye opens up as well.
Get yo ass on showdown!
I don’t do showdown ! Saweez!!!
Why :c
I like to win with the pokes that I spent hours breeding & EVing. And battling on an online simulator defeats the purpose of me buying the physical game in the first place XD
I think your just scared to fight me >:c
Well…
LOL, this was a funny comment Jenn. You made a funny XD
why can’t you battle me on your physical cart? Scurred?
Well if your not scared than you would fight me. What’s wrong. Chicken you might lose to a GIRL 😉
But losing to a girl is no different than losing to a guy…
Shhhhhhhhhhhh. I’m trying to get him riled up where he will fight me on showdown <.<
I like losing ^_^ every battle is a lesson learnt. I just prefer to battle on my cartridge. But the offer is always in the air when you get the courage to send me your FC 🙂
AW SHIET
You prefer to battle on the cartridge because you can show off your shinies in people’s faces, win or lose. XD
LOL THIS!!
Wellllllllllllll. I don’t have that many good pokes on my physical copy 😐 and my best team idea’s are on showdown
I’m on showdown only for trade and random battle. Because with random battle, you use your skills.
cool cool, didn’t know ya could trade there.
You can trade there 😮
Is that a question or a statement?
How?
I go to chat room, I advertise what I want and my offers, people PM me, FC exchange, then trade. That’s it.
Go on Wifi lobby and do “LF. FT”
Ahhhhh that’s how everyone talks on serebiis chat ^_^
Yup! That how I nab some cool pokes 🙂 Moon Ball Houndour is bae
I was gonna rush and take a pic of my shiny one but too lazy LOOOL… U know I usually like to do that XD
and on pss. Not joking lol. It was hell getting a Mew going though all that shizz, and my friend, who I was getting the Mew for, is offering it for a Shaymin 😐
0_0 wow you managed to score a trade talking like that through PSS? Kudos to you, that was smart but hard.
I forgot what I ended up trading for Mew. I know I got a Darkrai as well, which my friend uses fantastically tbh.. im a nice friend ^_^
Upvote this a million times if I could 🙁
they don’t hear me though!!! lol
Ammy says thank you very much! 🙂 She forgot her password to Disqus 🙁
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT, she need not stay gone forever
^This was not anger
Tell her I said no problem!! XD
I tried to send her a trade request yesterday but she didn’t accept lol so I was surprised & happy when she sent me one today ^_^
She was in Le Wow! XD I told her I’d let her know if I saw you online again xD
LOL – making that money in le wow with her stripping ways, hey I’m not judging !!
Dat 60% chance to lower Special Attack…
I wanted to mention that but I didn’t know the exact percentage LOL. Glad you did ^_^
No Steel/Fairy. It’s definately Psychic.
He’s just speculating lol. I think it is better with Steel/Fairy than Steel/Psychic.
Thnx ^_^
It def would benefit being Steel/Fairy over Steel/Psychic.
No weakness to Shadow Sneak, Shadow Ball, or Foul Play.
Only weak to ground types.
It looses that weakness to Sucker Punch as well. Gets a resistance to it instead >:3
Still don’t understand why Jirachi is a Steel-Type in the first place….
probably has something to do with a meteor or something in outerspace having iron it. not sure. I personally feel like it should keep the steel typing though and get rid of psychic.
Rio, how good are you doing in the eevee friendly? Let me guess… you’re 20-1 ?
Nope ;~; 16-4. I wouldve won one but my Sylveon got haxed with Paralysis 3 TIMES, So lost because the rest of my pokes were low on health once sylv died. then from there I lost another two battles in a row xD
Dang looks like you jynxed yourself by saying today wasn’t gonna be your day LOL. I might pick back up on it soon, I got disconnected from a match earlier due to that stupid error code that keeps happening, so It made me want to give up. I don’t even remember my rank but I know its terrible lol
I sure did xD First a DC on my part (faulty internet) and then 3 consecutive losses ;~; Keep trying! Jordin was losing earlier in the day but he caught up and now is 15-5 with a rank in th 1650’s. I’m at 1660’s
0_0 thnx for the motivation. I’ll pick back up then.
And sorry for your faulty DC. it sucks that this specific tourny had this stupid error problem every match. The spring friendly wasn’t like this at all. I wonder what could be causing this.
No problem! If you win the next time you probs be 9th again (;
It does suck ;-; and ikr?? Hopefully this wont happen in future tourneys
GRR I HATE U LOL. there is literally no way in the world i’m placing 9th in this tourny
YOU my friend def have the potential too though
Whoops time was suppose to be ten xD
Thanks! Im preparing for the next one already, Battle of Legends 🙂
OOOOO I have to log on and check out the info on that one.
You can use any pokes except Diancie! 😀 But you’re limited to two special legends
sweet. very interesting. what type of matches are they?
Doubles! I have a sick strategy going on. We should test battle before the tourney
I’m definitely down ^_^
I think I may have a strategy for that tourny. Be afraid rio. Be very afraid.
I am afraid… (remembers the last battle) Hopefully mine works out. Im scared for Xerneas
Out of 20 battles, I’ve only seen 3 Eevee >:D
Your Eevee hits like a truck :O
Choice Band + Adaptability + Return/Quick Attack?
Yes, no, maybe so :3 Credit to regi for the idea XD
I finally faced someone that ran Physical Sylveon other than myself and they beat me using Last Resort XD
Scardey catttt
Don’t get cocky. He doesn’t want to use Showdown lol. Give him your friend code, if you are so fearless 😉
I only play on showdown.
Mmhmm. Then you aren’t gonna get a battle lol.
Do you wanna battle on showdown than?
I don’t battle on Showdown as well. Same reasons as Heavy. Feels better to earn those Pokemon than to just make them. Call me what you will 😛
Ok. When I got my breeding done you and heavy will be the first one I hit up for a battle than. Put your money where your mouth is 😉
You should put your money where you mouth is as well. I do not competitively battle, so sorry. Not my thing. 😉
My money is on showdown, my battling skills have already been prove 😉 you can ask menacing and shiny sceptile for that fact 😉
0_0
my bod is read.
I’m still waiting for the reveal trailer for mega Metagross. :I
July 13-14 since CoroCoro officially releases by then 🙂
I can’t take you seriously omfg
How about now? 😛
I can’t take your avatar seriously, lol. 😛
Probably when CoroCoro officially releases 😀
Me too. I want to see this beast in action
This person on Showdown. ._.
Why female Pokemon? Why not male
IgneousFang: Because in X/Y female Pokemon pass on their Pokeball to the offspring.
Shraig: Oh, makes sense, but male are stronger XD But I understand if you are a breeder XD
IgneousFang: Uh, male doesn’t have any advantage over female in stats. ._.
Shraig: I know… but they are stronger. You know Latios is stronger than Latias and Nidoking is stronger than Nidoqueen
IgneousFang: That’s
like saying an artist is better at drawing than a singer. Nidoking
is offensive, while Nidoqueen defensive. Each gender has a different
role that you can’t compare.
Someone should show him Meowstic~
http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130305053659/imotwom/images/thumb/f/fc/FACEPALM.png/640px-FACEPALM.png
Hmmm I wonder what i role a Nidoqueen can do?
because i feel i should have every Ground Type competitively bred (even Wormadam)
machist
Pokemon Sexism
we all done it at one point
I haven’t… I honestly prefer using any gender….
But my Male Gardevoir is way stronger than my Female one
HEAVY!! http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/129/d/2/mega_altaria_design_by_pinkpalkia-d7hr9lc.jpg
Omg, y u keep spamin dis pic? But den again, I spam mega Milotic. Carri on.
is that lord shen?
Awww i love that movie
So does TC. And as do I 😀
I actually perfected Panda Style Martial Arts
basically just undoing the opponent by using my and their weight against them
You need the Tiger style Martial Arts person to complement your style!
I am literally a big fat panda
But size equals strength!
i just restraint them, pull them close
Then just fall down, using my victim as a cushion while they get flattened
im sobbing omfgggg what is this? is this real?
I wish :'(
I wish I could make it more brighter & HQ, I want to use this as my avi. Jesus most beautiful pokemon ever
