The PxR Showdown Tournament!

Pokemon Showdown!

In an attempt to bring attention to both the Battle Stadium threads, and the Pokemon Showdown Meta Game,  a few members  of PxR, including myself, had a Random Battle Tournament.

So, allow me to show you what happened! Click “Read More” to see the results and replay videos of these strange, unique, and spectacular battles!

Before we get down to the nitty gritty, allow me to explain to you what Pokemon Showdown actually is. It’s virtually a battle simulator, where you can build your own teams any way you like, and battle your friends, or random people from all over the world!  You choose the Pokemon, you choose the attacks, the stats, the abilities, the held items, and even whether or not your Pokemon is shiny!

Of course there are some rules and restricts to the extent of which “tier” you choose to play on. In this particular tournament, we battled on the “random battle” tier. Other tiers include OU, UU, NU, and Hackmons (which literally allow you to customize your Pokemon to have ridiculous stats, abilities, and moves it would never ever learn.).

With that bit of an explanation, let’s continue with the tournament!
