Alright, so three participants makes it a bit awkward for Round Robin. How this will end up working is we'll have one match per week, plus everyone'll get a "bye round" at some point. That said, here's the match we'll have this week...

@Level of Violence vs. @Monster House Fiend

Please schedule your game with one another, you have until Sunday Oct. 16th at 11:59 PM. As for @Even More Haunted Ditto, if you want to schedule a mock battle with me before then just to pass the time, you're absolutely free to! Let me know if any of you have any questions.

 

Just did the mock battle with Haunted. Important thing to note that I mistakenly left out of the first post - Dragapult is banned from National Dex OU, so it'll be banned here. I'll also share the team I used here just in case any of you find it interesting or whatever -
