Welcome to the first ever Same Duos Cup! Same Duo is a game where you and your opponent bring the same two species of Pokemon to a Double Battle. This game has been commonly played and enjoyed in the tournaments room. Teambuilding mindgames shall ensue in this fun minigame, now with a best-of-three twist!
This is a single elimination tournament where each week the hosts will name three random pairs of Pokemon. You will make a 2v2 Doubles team for each pair and battle your opponent with each against the same pair.
The Pokemon chosen each round won't always be confined to the [Gen 8] 2v2 Doubles format -- you might see Uber level Pokemon as well! Apart from the species, the [Gen 8] 2v2 Doubles banlist applies for the first two pairs -- the third pair will be played in an old gen.
Matches must be played on Pokemon Showdown. You must upload and post replays when claiming wins. Follow all applicable Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, including but not limited to rules against ghosting, timer/disconnect clauses, and activity calls. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to DM me or my co-host mathfreak231
