Entering.
Added StanTheMackiar and Kixune by request (They are joining)


The current banlist for Doubles OU is:
  • Mewtwo
  • Lugia
  • Ho-oh
  • Kyogre
  • Groudon
  • Rayquaza
  • Dialga
  • Palkia
  • Giratina
  • Giratina-Origin
  • Arceus
  • Reshiram
  • Zekrom
  • Kyurem-White
  • Xerneas
  • Yveltal
  • Solgaleo
  • Lunala
  • Magearna
  • Dark Void (despite nerf)
  • Complex ban of combination of Gravity and sleep moves below 100% accuracy on the same team
  • Eevium Z (item) (yes, Eevee of all things is stupidly broken in doubles, crazy, isn't it?... waiting for Magikarp ban in Gen8)
  • Power Construct (ability)


In particular there is no Mega Salamence on banlist, for now. Neither is Shaymin-Sky, which was heavily affected by power creep making it much more reasonable to deal with (and Shaymin-Sky doesn't really fit any team archetype).

Also, Doubles OU doesn't ban Swagger because it's a legitimate strategy to boost your own Pokemon by 2 attack. And confusion did get a nerf this generation (1/3 chance to self confuse, as opposed to 1/2, which makes confuse strategies not as viable anymore).

Whether I will join, I still need to consider, probably will do in a day or so.
I will join.
Join every time tbh

#signmeupfam
From now im leaving 3 days of preparation. During that time users may join to fill the remaining 16th slot and extra slots.

The matchups will be made and revealed on Monday 13th


I was asked to join.

hi sign me up

Edit: by the way, Showdown lists UU Pokémon as banned in Doubles OU for some reason. Why? Also, are we really banning them here? nvm, when validating the team they're accepted anyway. Still weird for them to be tagged as banned though.

I'm down for a round 1 loss. This is single elimination, yes?

Yes, its Single Elimination Best of 3.


TOURNEY START, ELIMINATION PHASE AND ROUND OF 16

http://challonge.com/es/smwcdoublesou

REMINDER:

1. Battles have to be in the Doubles OU format. Best of 3.
2. Confuse ray is banned
3. You can´t fight your Quarterfinals battle until the Elimination Battle and all the Round of 16 are over.
4. You must save the replays of all the battles you fought. Otherwise battles are invalid. There are a few exceptions tho, like when the replay wasnt saved in time but there are people who can confirm the battles took place.
5. You will have 2 weeks from now to fight your round of 16 battle. If you need more time ask me and i may give you a few more.

Remember you may use #Pokiman to contact your opponnent, too.
