Mythos League

[DW~]

Hello one and all to the new attraction for you all! Welcome to the Mythos League, a grand new challenge for any Pokémon Master, in training or otherwise. Expert and beginners alike, I welcome all of you to meet against the 15 powerful trainers that will stand in your way.

 

So how’s the challenge going to work? To start, we have 12 Leaders skilled in a single type to start you off. Of course, we thought we’d let them have a bit of fun with their teams, and gave them four specific Pokémon outside their type. Don’t worry, they can only use one on their team, and will run at least a single move of the Leader’s type on their moveset. Once you get past them however, you’ll have the Elite Three above them, skilled in two types each, but without wild cards to use against you.

As for you all, you’re given eight Pokémon to play around with against the Leaders. You’re free to rotate them however way you wish, as long as you stay with the same eight Pokémon throughout the League. Not only that, as you battle through the League, you’ll be given currency to purchase a few extra edges to help you through your run through, all of which to be revealed in time.

 

Enjoy team building, everyone. We’ll have more information on the start of the League for you all later on. We’ll see you all then!

 

     Rules 

>Challengers will be allowed to choose eight Pokémon to use in battle against the Leaders

>Challengers will be allowed to fight only one Leader per day.

>Challengers will gain access to one of the banned mons within the competitive OverUsed tier upon defeating all 12 single type Leaders, at the cost of one of the Pokémon in their team (as of USUM, almost all. We'll have a banlist shortly)

>If an illegal Pokémon, item, or move is found on a challenger’s team, that fight will be considered a loss for the challenger.

FAQ
 

1. Is there doubles or triples?  Yes, yes there is
2. Are moves final?  Once posted in the thread, all moves are final unless you use a move token to change it.


Also in addition, look out for the sign up thread soon, which is where the starting date for the Mythos League will be included in. Regardless, check the RMT here for teambuilding advice if you need it: 

We have several people on task to answer any questions you may need and to make topics as well as other jobs. These people are myself ( @DW~/DW#6253), Trevore ( @Trevore/Trevore#6470), and Exalted @Exalted/Exalted#0039). There will also be a FAQ made soon here if we see a question being asked frequently. 

Finally, I would like to give credit to @Felcatty for helping us with the spritework!

Oh wait wait wait what who whushdh now? New league? Oh wow, this came out of NOWHERE. Way to go DW,

 

8 mons...two legendaries? Hmm wow...didn't expect that.  Can moves be changed, or are they locked like redemption?

[Ojama Yellow]

will doubles and triples exist, or will this exclusively be singles?

 you don't know the evil you've potentially unleashed. My fairies will most likely give it a try

Wowsy wubsy, it's finally here!

 

I can answer a few of those questions.  From what I know, Doubles and Triples will both be used.  Moves are also locked, naturally.

[Filthy Casual]

This looks awesome! Where do we submit teams? I know six I'm going to use, but still need to decide the other two.

[LeonVermillion]

Another league huh? This might actually be interesting. I will join in this League and hopefully not getting steamrolled like in Redemption

 

[HUEnd]

Wow, I definitely wasn't expecting another league to pop out that soon. I might join the fun if IRL stuff gets settled.
