I wasn't expecting Rapidash to lead either! That was the Mon you had that was the biggest threat to my party.

With another matchup on the way, we have...

RED @omgitshim

Poliwrath lv 52

Gyarados lv 54

Venusaur lv 54

bae18a0a7aa5311e3c97a628d4c9aa2f.gif

 

BROCK @Berocka

Golem lv 43

Raichu lv 42

Rhydon lv 61

 

 

RED leads with Poliwrath, while BROCK will send out Golem first. It's no ordinary Golem, though...Brock has used his Shape Shifter to turn it into a Ghost-type!

 

Poliwrath, being the higher-level fighter, will attack first with Hydro Pump. Ordinarily a 4x multiplier against Ground and Rock Pokemon, the Shape Shifter pulls through and cancels out the multiplier! It's officially done something meaningful, as Golem stays in the game.

 

Golem hits back with Earthquake...

Looking to redeem himself, BROCK brings in Raichu and asks for a healthy dose of Thunder...

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

RED isn't a fan of this and brings in Gyarados. Pulling out all the stops, he switches Gyarados to a Ground-type and orders up a Hyper Beam...

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Up to this point, the discrepancy in levels has clearly favored RED. That is, until the Level 61 Rhydon he's about to face, who is the most-upgraded Pokemon of the match...

That's right folks, don't touch that dial!

 

I am the slime from your video, and it's time for another matchup.

BILL @OrbitingDeath

Exeggutor lv 43

Gyarados lv 52

Raichu lv 45

PROFESSOR OAK @JardyB10

Rapidash lv 51

Machamp lv 43

Gyarados lv 43

 

BILL leads with Exeggutor, while PROFESSOR OAK starts out with Rapidash. The Professor gets the first move!

 

Rapidash will use Megahorn to lead off the fight...

The first attack from BILL will have to come from his second Pokemon, Gyarados, who is given an Oran Berry and hits back with Hurricane...

Gyarados--read the above to find out whose--is subjected to one hit of Thunder...

Just like that, we're down to one-on-one. PROFESSOR OAK puts Gyarados in the game, who's going to be quite susceptible to an attack from Raichu should BILL manage to get one off...

Tough matchup for Berocka with two OG water types with two OG Rock/Ground types on the team. Very clutch use of Shapeshifter for omg too!

 

Also gg Green, the winner of that fight was basically a game of rock-paper-scissors of who we chose to lead with, haha. I guessed that you WOULDN'T lead with Gyarados and led the horse, but if I was wrong I would have been toast.

Time for the final battle of Round 2! Here, we'll watch...

 

pokemon-james.gif

 

JAMES @Ricer13

Charizard lv 40

Raichu lv 38

Alakazam lv 40

 

200w.gif?cid=82a1493b9j0ljwd6jhb03axwp5m

 

giphy.gif

 

GARY OAK @Lemorse7

Jolteon lv 47

Umbreon lv 29

Wartortle lv 28

 

In a shocking move, GARY elects to keep his own Level 40 Charizard on the bench! Could this throw off the tactics of JAMES, who's been a pain in the side of many players this game? It's possible, as Jolteon will receive the first opportunity to make a move.

It's a Thunder attack!

Alakazam uses Psychic, and Jolteon is knocked out! GARY has lost his strongest fighter, but will it be enough? Gary will choose Umbreon, who will use Dark Pulse...

Admittedly, I'm not sure how the matchmaking is supposed to work for Round 3...so I'll leave that up to @Ptyrell. I look forward to seeing what goes down then!

Thank you Gustav for the great presentation!

 

The standings after 2 rounds...

2 teams remain undefeated at 2-0: JardyB10 and Omg!

6 teams stand at 1-1: Berocka, OD, Doom, Enorama, rory, Lemorse

2 teams are looking for their first win: dlamb, Ricer

 

We are halfway through the tournament. However, it is likely that the winner (and last place finisher) will be determined by this round! So without further ado... the matchups:

@omgitshim vs @JardyB10

@Berocka vs @OrbitingDeath

@Doomsday vs @Lemorse7

@rory  vs @Enorama

@dlamb vs @Ricer13

 

Edit: actually, the winner of Jardy/Omg could still come in 2nd if they face a 2-1 team that they haven't faced yet and lose. Since they would have the same record but lose the head to head tiebreaker. That means, technically there are 8 teams that could still finish first!

Because I'm stupid, I'll make an editor's note for full disclosure:

 

I accidentally clicked Rhyhorn instead of Rhydon in the spreadsheet for the above battle. Outcome doesn't change because Gyarados comes in and one-shots Rhydon right away either way, but @Berocka does at least get to keep the berry.

Was that why he was using Body Slam instead of Earthquake?

4th match...

 

Ash Ketchum @dlamb

Charizard lv 47

Gengar lv 40

Venusaur lv 50 earthquake

VS

James @Ricer13

Charizard lv 40

Alakazam lv 40

Gyarados lv 43

 

This match will be... completely random! How interesting!

The Charizards start off by trading ineffective Fire Blasts back and forth. Finally Ash's Charizard uses Dragon Claw and the other Charizard goes down!

Alakazam up next...

Alakazam uses Psychic! With no other move, no randomness there! Charizard barely goes down by -2 HP.

Ash sends out Gengar! A classic matchup between ghost and psychic pokemon! But only if Gengar uses the right move...

Gengar uses...

Round 4 is all that remains! Gonna lay out my thought process as I work through it...

 

For the 1st place game...

@omgitshim stands alone at 3-0

@JardyB10, @OrbitingDeath , @Doomsday, and @rory  all are at 2-1.

Jardy just lost to omg so he's out.

Doom's loss is to rory so he's out.

Both OD's and Rory's losses are to Jardy. However OD brought Jardy to his last Pokemon and was 1 turn away from winning. Rory only got to Jardy's 2nd Pokemon. So because of that the 1st place game will be between omg and OD!

(though Jardy holds the tiebreaker for 2nd place over OD if Jardy wins and OD loses)

 

Next game will be between Rory and Jardy.

Jardy has lost to an opponent with the highest overall record, and Doom lost to Rory.

 

Next game will be between Doom and one of

@Berocka, @Enorama, @Lemorse7, and @dlamb

Doom already beat enorama and Lemorse.

Between Berocka and dlamb... 

Berocka's losses are to opponents with cumulative records of 5-1

Dlamb's losses are to opponents with cumulative records of 3-3

So Doom vs Berocka!

 

Between Enorama, Lemose, and Dlamb, @Ricer13 has already faced 2 of them. So the last 2 games are

Lemorse vs Dlamb 

Ricer vs Enorama

 

So in summary:
OMG vs OD

Rory VS Jardy

Doom vs Berocka

Lemorse vs Dlamb 

Ricer vs Enorama

 

Final rankings will still be based on record and tiebreakers. So a fair amount of movement could still happen.

It's my great pleasure to bring you the start of the final round! In our first battle, we've got:

SABRINA leads with Exeggutor, while BROCK will choose Raichu. SABRINA will get the first move!

JAMES @Ricer13

Raichu lv 38

Charizard lv 40

Alakazam lv 40

 

JESSIE has a Level 68 Pokemon, something I've somehow managed to miss entirely to this point while I've been talking up Berocka and his horribly underachieving Rhyhorn Rhydon. It's no contest--Gyarados will go first against JAMES and his Level 38 Raichu.

 

With one shot, and with no multiplier to help, Raichu is knocked out by Hyper Beam! Thanks to the type difference, JESSIE should be very relieved that Raichu didn't get a chance to strike back as JAMES will gear up with Charizard and use Flamethrower...
