★Devolution Battle Royale!★

[Neo Emolga]

What is Devolution Battle Royale? It's a silly game where your main objective is to devolve everyone else back into eggs and be the last Pokémon standing! You start as a fully evolved Pokémon and need to try and keep your evolution stages while devolving others! Or else you're going to be egged. It's not very eggcellent. There's no eggcuses. Set a good eggample for others and do the best you can to eggcel at this game. I'll stop.



You first need to sign up and build your team roster which consists of multiple Lineups beginning with your Starting Lineup followed by your Backup Lineups. You have 10 evolution stages to work with. And these can be distributed among as few or as many Pokémon Lineups as you want. How do you use these stages and build your Lineups? I'll tell you how!

So for example, let's say you want to add Alolan Raichu to your roster as your Starting Lineup. That Pokémon evolution line has three stages, so you would be adding Pichu > Pikachu > Alolan Raichu to your roster and that would use up three stages, leaving you with seven more to spend. If you then wanted to add Sylveon as a Backup Lineup, then that would be adding Eevee > Sylveon and that would use up two more, leaving you with five. So now you get the idea of how you build a team roster with your Starting Lineup and your Backup Lineups and how these stages are spent.

So with those ten stages to spend, something like this could be a valid team roster:

Starting Lineup: Pichu > Pikachu > Alolan Raichu (uses 3)

Backup Lineups:
Eevee > Sylveon (uses 2)
Charmander > Charmeleon > Charizard > Mega Charizard X (uses 4)
Mimikyu (uses 1)

Also, your avatar and banner will be changed to reflect what Pokémon you are. It's a tradition! So in this case, you'd get hooked up with a lovely new Alolan Raichu avatar and signature. Keep in mind that you can choose between Alolan and regular! Different forms for Pokémon like Shaymin and Giratina are perfectly fine too. These will actually make a difference in the game itself, but more on that later!

During the game, if you get devolved, you move down stages, but you can also evolve yourself to reclaim any lost stages. However, if you become an egg because your Lineup got devolved too much, you stay that way for the rest of the Season, and then you come back as your next Backup Lineup. Once you lose a Pokémon Lineup, it's gone for good. So if you went all the way down to Pichu and got devolved into an egg, sorry, but there's no chance of you ever getting all the way back to Alolan Raichu once that happens.

Run out of Backup Lineups and sorry, but it's game over! Thanks for playing!

Also, DO NOT remove avatars or banners while playing. That's considered forfeiting and you don't want to do that. It's part of the game, so keep 'em on! I promise to make them very good! Except when... well, you'll see later...



So how do you devolve your opponents? Battling! Once a day (unless no valid targets are available), two people are selected at random and they battle as the Pokémon they are. So from our example, if your number is called by the randomizer, you're an Alolan Raichu stepping up to the battlefield plate! And let's say your opponent is rolling with Umbreon. Who goes first with an attack is decided by a coin flip (speed stats don't count for this).

We then use the Thousandroads Metronome Randomzier. It generates any random Pokémon move.

If it generates a move your Pokémon can use (level up, TM, egg, etc) - Then you attack with that type of attack! So if it generated Thunderbolt (something Alolan Raichu can use), you attack your Umbreon opponent with an Electric attack! It doesn't matter what the move actually does, so if you got Charge, Electroweb, Thunder Punch, or whatever, it still counts as striking with an Electric attack.

If it generates a move your Pokémon can't use - Nothing happens. It's the opponent's turn.

And it goes back and forward.

To win the battle, you need to strike your opponent with three attacks that do regular damage (STAB isn't factored) OR one attack that does super-effective damage. So in your Alolan Raichu case, you could defeat the Umbreon with one Electric attack and two Normal attacks since those three would do regular damage on an Umbreon each time. Or you could win in one shot if the Metronome Randomizer landed on something like Brick Break, which is a Fighting move that Alolan Raichu can learn and does Super Effective damage on Umbreon! Cha-ching!

HOWEVER, if you get moves that do "not very effective" damage on the opposing Pokémon, those count against you instead! In Alolan Raichu's case, hitting Umbreon with Thief would do "not very effective" damage and in this game, that's as if the Umbreon got a successful normal damage strike on you! Ouch. What's worse is that if you get a move attack that has "no effect" at all, you lose the battle right away! In this case, if you were Alolan Raichu and got a Psychic attack like Psyshock, that does nothing at all on Umbreon. Double ouch! You'd lose that match-up!

Time will be called after Turn 30. Whoever has the least amount of regular damage strikes against them wins. If it's tied, it goes into Overtime until someone gets a regular damage strike on them.

Overtime goes until Turn 40. After Turn 40, if it's still tied or no one has landed any hits on each other, the <ADJECTIVE> COIN OF <MORE SILLY THINGS> will determine the winner.



If you win against your opponent in a battle, you can choose what happens next (you'll get mentioned so you're alerted about it)! You have 24 hours to decide or it defaults to Option #1.

Option #1: Devolve them! - This is pretty much the standard. Devolve your opponent down an evolution line. So if you wanted to devolve the Umbreon, "Let's Go Eevee" just took on a whole new meaning!

Option #2: Evolve yourself! - This is a way to reclaim evolution stages you might have lost, though it's not possible to use this option if you're at your maximum evolution stage or if you're a Pokémon that just doesn't evolve. For example, if you fell down to Pikachu but wanted to become Alolan Raichu again after winning, you could do this and enjoy tail-surfing again! You could also use this to become something different than you were last time if evolutions branch. Such as if you were Vaporeon before, got devolved to Eevee, and wanted to evolve after winning a battle, you could go Flareon this time.

Option #3: Subject them to your Randomizer Wheel! - Feeling lucky? Cruel? Silly? You can throw them into your Triple Trouble Randomizer Wheels, which you create when you sign up (if you want to)! More details on this below.

Win or lose, once you've been in a battle, you won't get called up for another one until the Season is over and everyone has battled at least once. If the number of players remaining is uneven and the last person can't be paired with anyone for a battle, the Season ends but they'll be the first up for a battle in the next Season.

What's a "Season?"

A Season is a term used to describe a session of battle pairings. At the start of a Season, all players are eligible to be called up for a battle, but once they do, they can't be pulled into another one. So for example:

SEASON ONE

1. Cinderella
2. Rapunzel
3. Ariel
4. Merida
5. Belle

So if Cinderella and Ariel battle each other one Day 1 and Rapunzel and Merida battle each other on Day 2, that leaves poor Belle all alone, but to make up for it, Belle is GUARANTEED to battle first in Season Two to make sure she suffers also. Simple!



This nonsense was inspired from the Victini V-Wheel! Also, This is totally optional. You could totally skip this step and just stick with only Option #1 and Option #2 for win outcomes. However, you give up taunting others, you miss out on potentially earning the lovely Nefarious Anarchist token, and plotting revenge isn't as fun. So we here at Neo Emolga and Chakaramaster Inc greatly encourage making your Randomizer Wheels!

When you do this, you throw your poor victim into your three Randomizer Wheels. You decide how painful these are! Wheel #1 affects what Pokémon they become, Wheel #2 affects what theme they end up with, and Wheel #3 affects what their usertitle becomes. The randomizer will roll for all three of these Wheels you create!

First, you design your Wheel #1. These will change the victim's Pokémon form depending on what the randomizer lands on. There are a few rules with it, though. First, you need to pick six Pokémon and they have to follow a certain rule criteria:

The First needs to be a fully evolved Pokémon, stage 3 of 3. You kind of want to hope your opponent doesn't get this since it might help them by giving them a fully evolved Pokémon now, but you can at least pick something goofy! So in this case, Charizard, Raichu, and Mega Lucario are valid options, though you may want to pick a much sillier Pokémon than those just to torture your opponents.
The Second needs to be a fully evolved Pokémon, stage 2 of 2. This probably won't help your opponent too much, but again, make it zany and worth it! In this case, Venomoth, Bewear, and Golurk are valid options.
The Third needs to be a mid-evolved Pokémon, stage 2 of 3. Pikachu, Wartortle, Braizen, and the like fall into this pool.
The Fourth needs to be a basic stage, stage 1 of 3. So Pichu, Litten, and Mudkip are perfectly fine here!
The Fifth needs to be a basic stage, stage 1 of 2. So Vulpix, Chinchou, and Sandshrew work here.
The Sixth needs to be a basic stage that doesn't evolve at all. Emolga, Zangoose, Druddigon and so on can fit here.

Remember, pick the silliest Pokémon you can think of! Well, really, it's up to you. Anyway, this transformation replaces whatever current Lineup they have going on and they can't change it back! Unleash that evil maniacal laugh you've been practicing!

Now you design Wheel #2 where their banner and avatar theme is changed. Think it would be funny if they got silly themes? Here's your chance! You pick five and can do things like this:

#1 Chibi and Cute!
#2 MS Paint Doodles!
#3 Random Anime Kittens!
#4 Candyland!
#5 Pottytime Bathroom Fun!

Just nothing that would seriously break PXR rules. I'll try to make their next banner and avatar as close to your nutty theme as possible. ;P

And now you design Wheel #3, where you modify their user title! You could do silly things like this!

#1 "Neo's Proudest Slave"
#2 "Secretly loves puking"
#3 "Proudest Pizza Face"
#4 "OMG Happy New Year 2016!"
#5 "Warning: Contains Gluten"

Be cruel. Remember, you're giving up devolving them or evolving yourself for this! Also, nothing that breaks PXR rules like swearing or vulgar stuff.

These grizzly and cruel effects last until they devolve, evolve, or get thrown into someone else's Randomizer Wheels. So if you subjected someone to a torturous life of getting stuck with Mr Mime, a stupid theme, a lousy usertitle, and then they devolved normally, well, they'd be just a regular Mime Jr then. Their avatar and banner getup would look normal again.

Note that you can only do this once per person. If you've already victimized them into your Randomizer Wheels, you can't do it again and again as wonderful as that sounds. The main page will note who you've victimized like this so at least you have that going! Try to nail everyone you can and add everyone's name to your collection! Gotta Catch 'Em All!
