Barbarossa pulled out of the tourneys and everyone wants to continue...so...

Very well.

It's time for a new tourney.
DOUBLE SHIPPING TIME.

[Akroma]

oh god, never did any double-battles before :/


I literaly have no clue whats good and what not in there

maybe I'll make a sunteam? Never really tried my hands at weather teams before. Maybe even mono-fire, go all out for some hyper-offense

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Right.

THE SHIPPING TOURNEY
Rules:
1.It is a double tourney. As such, any and all double stuff applies.
2. Any Pokemon pairs must be either a male and female of the same species, or male and female counterparts of each other, i.e Latias/Latios, Cresselia/Darkrai, Heatran (male)/Heatran (female, Mothim/Wormadam.
3. Unless specifically stated, all other rules are applied.

[Akroma]

so ubers? Darkrai is definetly an uber

[scapheap]

Only two mons or three sets of two?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

so ubers? Darkrai is definetly an uber

No, just giving examples. OU tier as usual.

[Akroma]

does arcanine qualify as a counterpart to ninetails?

Kitsune and a Shisa...

If you can justify it with shipping, go ahead. The theme of the tourney is shipping.

[Akroma]

the two version exclusive fire-mons of gen1, ninetails mostly female, arcanine mostly male, both 2-stage evolutions needing a firestone, caught in the same area. totaly counterparts

....granted.

Same rules apply, you must all post your doubles teams here.

[Akroma]

hmm...the theme is difficult


I'll think of something. But it will include a lot of male/female pairs, as I can't really think of pokemon that are obviously paired apart from legendaries, and those are mostly ubers

here we go, tried to get a bit of a synergy going. never tried my hand at double-battles before, so I have not the faintest clue if this works in any way whatsoever

yes, heatran is able to make sweet love to another heatran, it's a very sensible act. how dare you question this?


Question regarding switching mid-battle. May pairs be broken up? Or do I need to always switch both mons out to the same pair? If one guy dies, does the other have to stay in until he dies before I can bring in the next team?

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Nope, pairs may not be broken up unless one is fainted, in which case it must be. However, the forces of shipping frown upon it.

[Akroma]

a shame sylveon is not released yet, if pixiv is to be believed, it's being heavily shipped with hidreigon

[Rolepgeek]

So it sounds like the species clause doesn't apply.

And of course, I can only assume Pokemon such as Plusle and Minun are able to be together.

What out Celebi and Victini? They seem like they're made for each other. Not to the degree of Latias/Latios, but similar to Blissey and Clefable(they're like parents, together, right guys?)

[Culise]

Hmm, interesting theme.  I do have a handful of questions, if I may.  Can I go with branched evolutions that come in pairs?  Paired Eeveelutions (e.g. Umbreon/Espeon; Glaceon/Leafeon)?  Finally, though I'm not sure if I'll actually use either, would it be OK with you if I used either sea serpents (Gyarados/Milotic) or jellyfish (Tentacruel/Jellicent) as a star-crossed love ("despite their love, forever shall they be divided by their incompatible breeding groups")?  Actually, the whole team is pretty much named for star-crossed love...maybe I should throw in some literal stars (Starmie "Zhi Nu" and Jirachi "Niu Lang") for additional amusement.  I wonder if that's taking it too far, though, and they don't meet the gender requirements...
