Chorus.fm Pokemon Draft League 3.0 Video Game

Hello!

Welcome all!

This is Version 3.0 of the Chorus.fm Pokémon Draft League

We will be using Pokémon Showdown (Pokémon Showdown! battle simulator) for team building and battling. You will not need to breed or own any of these Pokémon.

Online resources:
Pokemon Showdown Teambuilder
Galar Pokedex
Gamewith Singles Tier List
Smogon Pokedex/ Sample Builds

General League Rules:
- Teams will be made up of 12 Pokémon each, no repeats across or with teams
- Each team will have:

• 1 S tier Pokemon
• 3 A tier Pokemon
• 5 B tier Pokemon
• 3 C tier Pokemon

NOTE: A maximum of 2 A tier Pokemon (or 3 A tier Pokemon and 0 S tier Pokemon) can be used in each match.

- Chorus.fm Tier List will be used. This can be found on the draft-league.nl page.
- Pokemon are pulled from current Gen 8 Meta - no legendaries or mythicals are used
- Single battles
- Battles will be 6 v. 6
- The six Pokémon can vary from battle to battle
- Pokemon builds and move sets may change between battles, but the team of 12 Pokémon must remain constant
- One Pokemon may Dynamax per battle, and this can change from battle to battle
- No G-Max Pokemon can be used
- Sleep Clause is in effect
- Baton Pass is banned
- Pokemon may have held items, but each Pokemon on the team must hold different items
- No evasiveness moves permitted
- The ability "Moody" is banned


Draft rules
We will be using www.draft-league.nl to handle the draft and scheduling.
More details about the draft will be forthcoming.
- Each team can only draft 1 forme of Rotom.
- Each team can only draft 1 version of a regional Pokemon.


Battles/League Schedules
- Up to two battles per week will be scheduled
- You and your opponent should set up date and time to do battles
- All scheduled battles should be completed before 11:59pm on Sundays
- The new week starts on Mondays
- Regular season details: TBA
- Championship bracket will be seeded using regular season records

If you are unable to carry through with your commitment, please try to find a replacement. If you make a good faith effort to find a replacement, but are unable to find one, all of your past and future matches will count as wins for your opponents.

If you "ghost" us and the league, you will not be permitted to participate in future draft leagues and will be effectively shunned by all league members on the greater Chorus.fm site. Rules are rules.

Does this apply to those of us that were harassed?

I'm jk. Is there a way to watch these matches though? This whole thing is fascinating to me.

 

Oh the irony

 

First

 

Discord is down, @EmmanuelSCastle is up right now with @Randall Mentzos on deck. Website can still be used at https://draft-league.nl/league/chor/index.php

If you can post after you pick and tag the next person please do so until the Discord is back up.

Haha. Emmanuel also hasn’t logged into chorus since May.

 

He's so smart
