Thanks for taking part in the generation 9 LC RU Cup, an unofficial usage-based tier based on LC UU tournaments. We have an initial set of resources, including a few sample teams in the LC RU discord server to participate in discussions: https://discord.gg/VBsUDyRCWX.
We have new drops so the following Pokemon are now legal: Bagon, Blitzle, Bulbasaur, Corphish, Cranidos, Golett, Inkay, Joltik, Litten, Nymble, Shellos, Skiddo, Skrelp, Solosis, Swablu, Totodile, Treecko, Turtwig, Zorua. The banlist is updated to reflect this, as always please make sure to double check it!
Tournament Rules:
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here .
- Format: [Gen 9] LC with additional bans listed in the spoiler above.
- Bringing a Pokemon not legal for LC RU will result in a forfeit of that match, please double check your teams.
- Best of three, single elimination battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!.
- Standard battle clauses.
- Replays are required!
Scheduling Recommendations:
- Contact your opponent as soon as possible. Include what your available times are and your timezone in this initial contact.
- When scheduling, offer the widest range of time possible to play. Just mentioning one or two specific times is likely insufficient.
- Schedule specifically - do not schedule for "Friday afternoon" or "Sunday morning", pick a date, a time and note the timezone.
