Deleted User Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 "Blah blah blah survival of the fittest, blah blah blah natural selection blah blah blah" ~ Charles Darwin This weeks challenge is 'Natural Selection'. What ever could that mean. Well let me tell you sir or madame or whateveritisyougoby. There are two rules we have set out for this week. First no pokemon may use their hidden abilities. Second. Pokemon may not have moves they learn EXCLUSIVELY through TM. (If they learn it through level up as well, it's good). We like our pokemon all organic round these parts ya hear? I feel I need to stress it this week greatly. Please share your teams with your fellow nation members and review them multiple times to make sure that they are valid. No second chances if you give a pokemon an invalid move! The matchups will be as follows: ✓ (4-0) Kingdom of Avalon ↔ (2-2) Gaia Nation (6 - 1) (RU) ✓ Jericho vs Sheep ✓ Dhanush vs Marcello ✓ Swimming95 vs Vex ✓ Secundum vs Etesian Chimchain vs pbood2 ✓ ✓ DavidPWNS vs ICSW ✓ Spineblade vs Monochrome Complex Replacements: Kingdom of Avalon: Acecy, Void, Hoehe -- Gaia Nation: Taska, Roswell, Dark Desire The Ravenholts (1-3) ↔ Amazon Nation (3-1) ✓ (3 - 4) (UU) ✓ Kaito vs HYCROX Jacobliterator vs Drymus ✓ Mikzal vs Quinn ✓ ✓ Kamina vs Rupe Chubb vs Swampellow ✓ Cobalt996 vs DashingStorm ✓ ✓ Intsys vs Honchy Replacements: The Ravenholts: Red_Chaos, AuthorReborn, Trevore -- Amazon Nation: Spade, Caz, Zumi ✓ (1-3) Nation of Atlantis ↔ Phantom Vulcan (1-3) (4 - 3) (OU) 99 Losses vs Reignited'Light ✓ ✓ Lugruf vs NovaKnight ✓ Cowtao vs YinYang ✓ DragonMasterKrim vs Imperial ✓ Morshu vs 2tousent DerogatoryTrainer vs Lord Bagel ✓ Ace_Trainer_Vince vs Simon ✓ Replacements: Nation of Atlantis: Lobos, Sinikuro, Personthing -- Phantom Vulcan: Sasuke10001, Azery, DJWongTong LEADERS: Please send me your SEVEN participants and THREE substitutes as soon as you are able. Once I have the contestants for all 6 nations, matchups will be randomized and posted here. To Victory! DISCLAIMERS: 1. If a pokemon learns a move through TM but also through level up, or event, it IS ok. 2. Moves that are only learnable via TM from previous generations are not allowed. With the exception of Defog which is allowed. I'm sure there'll be more here as you guys think of things we did not. So please continue to check back. 3. Gen 2 Move Tutor moves aren't permitted as the pokemon can't be passed up in the actual game from that point. Have Questions? Please leave them in green below and we'll answer them to the best of our abilities. *Thanks Zumi for awesome logo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnocentSerenity Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Will moves from Tutors be allowed?Ah, I see Atl Antis will be facing Phantom Vulcan once again. I wish our opponents from Week 1 luck once again. Edited June 11, 2016 by InnocentBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish our opponents from Week 1 luck once again. Right I knew I forgot something I'd wanted to mention. Yes because of the way things had previously worked out, there was no way for every team to face a new opponent this week, and I wanted to revisit one of the matchups from week 1 since one had to be done at all already. EDIT: Yes this was an error in the scheduling on my part, apologies. Every team will still face each other twice throughout the course of the season though.

Sapphire Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) What about event only moves? HMs? Move tutors? Edited June 11, 2016 by Sapphire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 What about event only moves? HMs? Move tutors? Questions in green please. HM's no. Event and move tutor? Sure why not, don't want to limit too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YinYang9705 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Should we assume egg moves and pre evo only moves can be used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphire Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 What about level up moves from previous gens, and TMs from the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampellow Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Yes, I do quite like the UU tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 What about level up moves from previous gens, and TMs from the same? Level up moves from previous gens are ok, Moves that can only be learned via TM from previous gens are not. We're making an exception for Defog though.

IntSys Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Does the same apply to tutor moves in past gens? (For example: Thunder Wave and Rock Slide were tutor moves in Gen 3) Edited June 11, 2016 by IntSys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrromanis Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Are the new tier changes (mega-Steelix and Tyrantrum bans) from 3 days ago, applied for this week? Cause I know reborn's server is not completely up to date with tier changes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lugruf Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 If a move used to be a tutor and is a TM in sixth gen, does it count as a tutor move or as a TM move? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exalted Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 So are mega evolcutions permited without any restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Does the same apply to tutor moves in past gens? (For example: Thunder Wave and Rock Slide were tutor moves in Gen 3) I'll get back to you on that. Are the new tier changes (mega-Steelix and Tyrantrum bans) from 3 days ago, applied for this week? Cause I know reborn's server is not completely up to date with tier changes... Yeah as week 4, these changes will apply for Nations, I hope that we can have Reborn's tiers update. If a move used to be a tutor and is a TM in sixth gen, does it count as a tutor move or as a TM move? Repeated question, see above. So are mega evolcutions permited without any restrictions? So long as both the base form and mega form are ok in the tier in which you battle, then you're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntSys Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Is TM-Breeding from past gens legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Is TM-Breeding from past gens legal? No, that defeats the purpose. Move tutor moves from past gens that are now only accessible via TM in gen 6 will be permitted, but to avoid confusion, we ask that you list any such instances when you submit your replay to help us if we need to review this. Example: won gg, replaylink My Magnezone had T-Wave which was available from move tutor in Generation # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krim Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Some moves, such as ice beam, flamethrower and thunderbolt were only available from tutor in generation 2. Due to how it's impossible to transfer this up to generation 6, would those moves be allowed? I'd imagine not, but I figured I would ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Gen 3 and onwards have some way to pass mons on? Gen 2 move tutor would be no go in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Chaos Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 will it be possible to show your team to a judge during the team building process and not be punished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 will it be possible to show your team to a judge during the team building process and not be punished? If you enter the battle with an invalid team, then you lose. I'd recommend sharing with your teammates to check if your team is in fact valid. If you realize mid battle that you have an invalid move that you have not yet used in said battle, you can still maintain validity by opting to not use that move and just the other 3 instead.
