    'Sup Battle Frontier Adventurers?

    I have returned to my reign as Queen Noctis, True Guardian of the Battle Frontier. I'm so thrilled to be back watching over my competitive children again. ^_^ However, with that being said, recently before I came back into this position I have seen a severe lack of competitive discussion or even drive. However, look no further friends, for I will be introducing a new, exciting monthly event for everyone to compete in! Hopefully, this will not only drive some activity back in this beloved forum of mine, but also (hopefully) get newer members into competitive battling as well!

    And with that being said, lets get into it.

    WELCOME TO THE BATTLE FRONTIER CHALLENGE.
    The Battle Frontier Challenge (BFC) is a reoccurring monthly event that challenges Competitive Play in Pokémon Showdown. By participating in this challenge, the participant agrees that he or she will play in the designated tier and according to the theme each month the participant signs up. The participant will also have to pay a small fee in PokéPoints, which goes into the "jackpot." The more participants, the more money is in the jackpot. Whoever wins the most games by the end of the month with the designated team theme in the designated tier will win the jackpot.

    Victories will be examined every Monday by me and everyone who is participating will receive a new ranking update every Monday in this thread. If a victory is earned in under 5 turns, I will judge the battle and determine if this should count towards your victory count. I will also provide you with an explanation why the decision was made.


    Participant Fee: 100PP.
    Current [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]Jackpot [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]: 4500PP
    Theme: Azelf Pwnage
    Tier: UU
    Theme Description: Win as many UU tier games with Azelf in your team.
    Instructions on how to participate in the BFC:
    • 1.) Click on my profile and donate 100PP to me. Once I've seen that I've received the 100PP, I will add it into the jackpot.
    • 2.) Copy and Paste this text in this thread:


    • @Noctis, I have read everything in the OP and wish to participate in the BFC for May.

    • 3.) After submitting that post, use that post to keep a record of all the victories you've had. Make sure to link the showdown replay victory in that post. I need proof of your victory.
    ​And that's it! Hope to see you guys back in the competitive spirit again soon! o7

    @[member="Bionic Puppy"] You sent me 300 PP, the entry fee is only 100PP. Do you want me to refund your other 200PP or throw it into the pot?

    Now... I'm not too sure if this is an epic glitch... but your replays disappeared when I clicked on them?? Do you still see them in your entry post?

    This seems interesting enough. I doubt I'll win, but I don't mind.

    The Battles:
    Win 1- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-370116031 -I decided to end the battle with a bang
    Win 2- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-370120860
    Win 3- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-370989027 -I am so lucky that I won that speed tie
    Win 4- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-370998753 -Not sure if this counts. It was 5 turns, and on the 5th turn, I one-shotted their Mega without a crit
    Win 5- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-371000351 -Not sure about this either, but better safe than sorry
    Win 6- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-371925165 -I have better luck in Ubers -_-
    Win 7- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-371927676 -Seriously, why Ubers?
    Win 8- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-371929739 -This was a close battle, and they only had 3. Though, I did misclick with Mightyena, or they wouldn't have dropped there
    Win 9- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-373325546 -If it weren't for the burn, Azelf would have probably won that for me.
    Win 10- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-373328008 -Not much to say except that they wasted a chance
    Win 11- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-373329863 -I respect the monotype team, but Houndoom sweeps with Heat Wave
    Win 12- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-373779500 -So I think that I just know a lot more about the Pokémon in OU than in UU
    Win 13- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-373781596 -This was a pretty fun match
    Win 14- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-373784087 -Hey, didn't need Mega Sceptile
    Win 15- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-373785711 -If it weren't for the double Protect, Azelf could have won that instead of Houndoom
    Win 16- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-374246449 -I overestimated Azelf's attack
    Win 17- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-374249240 -Not sure if this counts. Houndoom causes a lot of forfeits it seems
    Win 18- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-374249886 -I've lost Azelf to a few Pursuits, is that a common move now?
    WIn 19- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-374257622 -This was a bit of a close one
    Win 20- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-374710913 -Is it bad that my immediate response when someone sets up is to just click Leaf Storm?
    Win 21- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-374714402 -I got a few crits in this battle and the last (which isn't here since I lost from a miss), but most didn't even matter -_-
    Win 22- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-374716829 -I didn't have time to say something yesterday and now I don't remember the battle
    Win 23- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-375187034 -Machamp finally putting in a lot of work
    Win 24- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-376968090 - No psychic move on a psychic Mega Lati?
    Win 25- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-376973359 -This wasn't very satisfying. Oh yeah, before this battle, Forretress was burned first turn, 3 battles in a row.
    WIn 26- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-376975753 -Finally, a Mega Absol that doesn't live a Play Rough
    Win 27?- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-377435311 -Does this count?
    Win 28- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-377436117 -Mightyena, you are obssessed with crit Sucker Punches now
    Win 29- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-377437908 -This was a very close game. If they had used Aqua Jet, I'd probably have lost
    Win 30- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-377440221 -I am pretty sure I would have won even without the forfeit
    Win 31- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-377441718 -I like going out with a bang when possible
    Win 32- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-378355887 -If Dragonite had had Extreme Speed, I would have lost
    Win 33- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-378357766 -Closest thing to a Mightyena sweep I'll ever see. If they were scarfed though, I would have lost
    Win 34- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-378359286 -I sacked off half my team, but hey, it worked
    WIn 35- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-378365303 -I was afraid they were scarfed. Thankfully, they missed
    Win 36- http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-378368916 -It happens so often, I'm not even surprised anymore when people try to put a status on Machamp or Mightyena

    I got rid of the batttle that didn't count, so start on Win #20 when checking the validity please.

    Here are the current rankings as of 5/9/2016:

    Leader: @[member=❀Bloom❀]9 victories! Well done!
    I had to rewatch and review three different battles. Battle 2, Battle 7, and Battle 10.

    I have decided to not consider Battle 2 as a victory, as there was no evidence to make the player quit early.

    However, for Battle 7, the victory was earned due to, what it seems, a calculation error on behalf of the enemy player. (Either that or he forgot to switch.) Losing a mega that early in the game definitely destroys any strategy planned for the team. Though I believe to never give up so early after losing an essential poke, this will be accepted as a victory.

    Battle 10, the prediction was extremely accurate. Good call on that one! The victory was secured by that point as Cresselia ranks at 253 out of 721 different Pokémon in Speed. Having a slow Cresselia that has a chance to not use Moonlight is pretty scary after all. Not to mention, looking ahead, seeing that this was his main Defensive Cresselia that has EVs in DEFENSE. Since your team has a split amount of Special Attackers (3) and a good amount of type advantages, his team would crumble rather quickly without it's main wall, and the other tank (Tentacruel) that also focuses on Defensive stats would fall very quickly to Galvantula if played right.

    Tied for 2nd place:
    @[member="Bionic Puppy"] - 2 victories
    @[member="Endrew Swiftwind"] - 2 victories
