Pokémon Auction Tournament Format

Overview

This tournament will use an auction draft format. Each player will build a team of 8 Pokémon by bidding on Pokémon during the auction.

Every participant starts with 2,000 auction points to spend. Once a Pokémon is won in the auction, it cannot be drafted by anyone else.

Building a strong team while managing your budget will be key to success.

Team Building Rules

• Each player starts with 2,000 points.
• Each player must draft 8 Pokémon.
• Each player may draft a maximum of 1 Uber Pokémon.
• No duplicate Pokémon are allowed.
• Teams are locked after the auction is completed.

Uber Pokémon

The following Pokémon are considered Ubers:

• Miraidon
• Koraidon
• Zacian-Crowned
• Necrozma-Dusk-Mane
• Kyogre
• Groudon
• Eternatus
• Ho-Oh

Each player may only have one Pokémon from this list on their roster.

Auction Format

1. Players will take turns nominating Pokémon.
2. The nominated Pokémon will begin at its listed starting bid.
3. Players may bid against each other using their auction points.
4. When bidding ends, the highest bidder wins the Pokémon and pays the final bid amount.
5. The process continues until every player has drafted 8 Pokémon.

Bidding Rules

• Minimum bid increase: 25 points.
• Players cannot bid more points than they currently have.
• Players must always keep enough points to fill the remaining spots on their roster.

Match Format

Each matchup will be a Best-of-3 series:

Battle 1

• Singles Battle

Battle 2

• Doubles Battle

Battle 3 (If Necessary)

• If the series is tied 1-1, a coin flip will determine whether the deciding battle is:
• Singles, or
• Doubles

The winner of the deciding battle wins the series.

Pokémon Usage

The same roster of 8 Pokémon will be used throughout the tournament.

Players may choose which Pokémon from their roster to bring to each battle, following the rules of the battle format being played.

Alright yall Indy championship is over so we're gonna see the same two teams on ladder for the next week: Wolfe's sand team with Steelix and the winning team, which uses Mega Floette and Mega Delphox. What are y'all's ideas for hard countering these teams?

LF: Aprimons
Sprigatto (Dusk)
Fuecoco (Love)
Quaxly (Lure)

FT: Charmander (Moon)
Popplio (Love)
Zorua (Moon)

If give all 3 I can provide a normal meltan & shiny kakuna.

(I don’t need HA, but I would be nice to have. I just wanna use the cuties for my playthrough, I’ve always wanted to start my play through with the 3 main starters)

Yet again, I have made another dragonite team after using the dragonite delphox team with a different set, since I was happy with the way dragonite felt.

https://pokepast.es/94effccdff8115c8

This team is a lot more bulky and both Dragonite and Venasaur play rly similarily so its easy to adapt to each mega. Funnily enough mega venasaur is actually good for sun teams bcause it is rly good into glimmora whims and thanks to thick fat can survive a sun boosted weather ball.

I have sorted the team based on situation. The two in the middle can be brought against most matchups (incin and dragonite), mamoswine and hatterene are more situational, usually used against tr or rain ocassionally and the top 2 are rly good against most weather teams and kinda steal the spotlight when brought.

The team is rly bulky and pretty balanced with one major flaw in the fact that only 2 pokemon currently have protect. Dragonite can use protect but its hard to justify removing any of the other moves. Scarf-Basculegion and Incin don't usually run protect so thats fine. You could easily run protect over after you on hatterene and you probably should but after you is kinda usefull in order to further combat hard tr.

This thread is for discussing Mega Floette movesets, items, EV spreads, Tera types, partners and counters in Pokémon Champions VGC.

Good things to cover:
- Best support moves
- Best offensive moves
- Whether Mega Floette works better on balance, Tailwind, Trick Room or cheese teams
- Common counters
- Good partners
- Replay examples
- PokéPaste/team exports

So, had a legendary find on high ladder, an actual individual who communicates during the game and is good at it, and managed to acquire the following team. https://pokepast.es/de9887765836a2b1
Shit has been carrying through ladder, casually pushed 100 elo to 1750 and now top 50 in showdown again, any improvements or suggestions though are appreciated

I want the duck to work, this is a VERY rough draft I made in like 10 minutes. How can we make him work?

I saw Wolfe's mega steelix team and I liked it, so decided to make this, and idk if i should make it on champions. https://pokepast.es/c9e79eb8030d953d

Hello, I'm trying to build around Kleavor, is this viable? I'm new to building team btw, any suggestion and critique is welcome

All i can see is the evs https://pokepast.es/0eee17c453f57b55

Looking for any legit moltres.

I was needing help to improve and learn the roles of my team im really new to competitive play I play doubles

I need help improving the team ASAP, https://pokepast.es/6c12267d4ace8a9c
can explain my ideas of moves and mons if needed

Hi there! Just to head off future comments, yes I know ghost monotype aint gonna get me to champion tier but I just love playing monotype and feel like I could be doing better. Secondly: ~~please dont bully me for using basculegion its my only water/ghost option 😭~~

Team: https://pokepast.es/e711046d1b7d344c

Skeledirge: Good wall pokemon and can take alot of hits. Good for switching into when I need to take damage but can also build up to a steam roll if I need. Believe it or not without rain this dude can take mega gyrados. Goes very well with trick room but its not needed to succeed it feels

Sinistcha: Team healer, also my secondary trick room setter. Able to keep itself alive and heal teammates (mainly runerigus)

Runerigus: Trick room setter, opens if I dont open with Mimikyu and can take hits while setting up trick room, able to do some damage itself as well with body press. Honestly I feel like he could do with a better item but champions be lacking in items rn.

Mimikyu: The dude who got me to great ball tier solo pretty much. Other opener. Hits hard and always gets a free swords dance. I keep Sneak so I can always have priority if speed isnt looking good, and drain punch for coverage/minor healing.

Gengar: Honesty im having alot of trouble with gengar, I mainly have him so I can have a base speedy mon without having to worry about trick room being up or not, but honestly I feel like I could utilize better/switch him out. Tried the perish song/protect route with him but it felt bad having my only strategy being self sacrifice when I feel like he could be geared towards offense.

Basculegion: I SWEAR HES FOR WATER TYPE COVERAGE I SWEAR but wouldnt mind switching him out tbh it feels cheap whenever I go the last respects route but idk.

Been looking for a challenge this season so I've been building mono type teams. I'd love if y'all could take some peeks and let me know what the thoughts are for each one. I will keep adding them as I finish them.

Hey guys I’ve been working on a sand team in showdown and I’ve been having trouble against trick room and archaludon does anyone have any suggestions?

help me build a mega charizard team

Hey I don’t know if I should attach a ping to this, but I’m thinking of hosting a draft or at least participating in one. I would appreciate an in depth rundown of how draft works and how one would go about hosting a draft event? As always, yall are real ones.

Trying to make this gorgeous team happen in Champions ladder. Been tweaking it a lot. Used to have Lycanroc instead of Skarmory, running only Chandelure as the Mega, but it was only there to OHKO Zard Ys with Accerock - which was pretty funny, but I noticed I was never using bringing it otherwise.

Been in a losing streak in the MB4 ladder atm lol the team is fun but I would love to make it stronger overall.

I'm up to any suggestions regarding changing Pokémon, moves, abilities or EV spread. I just would like to avoid using any of the meta mons here, as a personal challenge and because I would like not to repeat mons between teams (already have a ZardY/Glimm/Whimsicott/Basculegion/Gambit/Garchomp in my team slots)

Thanks in advance!

I want to replace Sableye for Incine and im wandering if its a good move here. Also i want to swap Sinistcha out for something i just dont know what quiet yet.

Made it too Master ball 3 with a 11 winstreak for the first team and I tried to improve the second version

I want to make a team with Zard Y and Krookodile. Any tips or advice of the current team? Thinking of replacing Typhlosion
