I suggest the following 7 tier format:
- OU (2pts)
- OU
- UU
- NU
- Dubs
- LC
- UT
There would be 2 OU duels per week. One would be worth 2 pts; the second one would be worth 1 pt. This could give us very hyped match ups since it will mean managers will have a big incentive to always put their best player in the OU slot worth more. No dodging basically.
We have an average of 250k OU duels per month compared to 5k in UU, 7k in NU and 9k in Dubs. I understand that some might find it boring to have 3 OU duels in a 8 tiers PSL lineup, but OU still needs to be well represented in PSL since more than 90% of the duels played in PokeMMO are OU duels.- EricTheGreat and Axelgor

I don't think Yanmegga would be broken in NU since a few walls can stop it like Gigalith and Golbat. However, I suspect it would be very unhealthy for the NU metagame. Offense would gain a double edge sword with Yanmegga as a powerful tool, but also as what could be an unstoppable threat.
It might still be worth testing tho. Looking back at 2019, the UU meta didn't have much to deal with Yanmegga (only Crobat and Snorlax really, since Empoleon didn't exist, Milotic was OU and Gigalith was NU). Perhaps Cryogonal would become more viable. It's hard to tell, but honnestly I'm not sure what Offense will be able to do vs Yanmegga.- Axelgor and VadimEmpoleon

"3 Support Uber
A Pokémon that in common battle conditions can consistently set up a situation in which it makes it substantially easier for other pokemon to sweep or stall.
Consistently, no. There are many viable teams against which Dugtrio can't consistently set up a winning situation.
1 hour ago, Luke said:3. Uncompetitive
Moves or abilities may be banned if they are deemed uncompetitive, based on one of the following aspects.
Invalidation based
Uncompetitive Invalidation based Aspects are those that take away autonomy from players by invalidating, to an unacceptable degree, key elements of gameplay. What may be considered an unacceptable degree is rather subjective, so it’s important to keep in mind that all moves and abilities can be restrictive to a certain extent. "
Uncompetitive applies to moves and abilities. Arena Trap by nature is not necessarily uncompetitive, espcially on mons like Trapinch and Diglett that suck so bad that even AT is not enough to make them viable or interresting. Arena Trap on Dugtrio is another story tho, but does it take autonomy from players to an unacceptable degree, that's arguable.
Most OU mons that seem weak to Dugtrio can usually manage just fine: Infernape can u-turn, Metagross/Empoleon have enough bulk, Lucario has priority and Excadrill has Rapid Spin. The mons that can't do anything vs Dugtrio are Magnezone and Ttar. They are doomed if they stay in front of a Dugtrio switching in. Ironanically, Magnezone and Ttar fall pretty much in the same category of uncompetitiveness as Dugtrio. Magnezone Trapping Skarm, Scizor, Empoleon, Ferrothorhn, etc. Ttar having the potential to trap everything with Pursuit, but mainly Chandelure that becomes useless. The difference is that unlike Dugtrio, Magnezone and Ttar have high stats so even when they don't have a specific target to trap, they are rarely dead weight. Dugtrio can totally be dead weight if it doesn't have a target to trap.
With that being said, Arena Trap may affect more mons than Magnezone and Ttar, but Dugtrio itself doesn't accomplish as much with Arena Trap than Magnezone and Ttar in general. Using Dugtrio to trap Ttar or Magnezone is pretty much fighting fire with fire imo.
Edit: Forgot to mention Volcarona that also gets trapped by Dugtrio and I'll concede that u-turn Volcarona is not super common. -
For top donators over the year, there is a big gap between Coolio (109M) and MdM (68M). If you guys can think of someone that donated a lot, let me know.
There is very little information that I could find about Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 and Season 11. If you were a manager, a player or even the host of these seasons, please share any information that I missed.

Inspired by the Super Pokemon League (SPL) from Smogon, PokeMMO Super League (PSL) is a PokeMMO unofficial event created by @ThinkNicer in March 2014 where each season the best competitors in game face off to win a grand prize and a PSL title.

Under these assumptions I don't see how you can claim that PSL should add UT next season
Are you gonna depend on Munya to change the pokedex to allow or disallow certain mons :'D Cause it doesn't happen every rotationIf it's usage movements, we can do that sure. When I'm talking about tiering, I mean actual bans which I think we should not consider at all.

UT could be cool but we would have to establish a proper tiering system just like the LC community does.
NU is extremely volatile already and UT being dependant on NU usage would be even more. I don't think there is any point in trying to do any tiering for UT. Any tiering decision by the time gets reached becomes void by the time we would get the next usage drop. If something ends up broken, so be it because it's very likely by the time we figure out it's broken, it probably wouldn't be anymore.
Also, out of pure principe, UT stands for Untiered, a format that exists in defiance of any tiering getting done. It would be a disservice imo if we started to change it through tiering. -
-
I have a very cringy proposal.
For every PSL going forward, we have the exact same team names. The mascot of each team is linked to the least valuable shinies in game: Raticate, Tentacruel, Rapidash, Golem, Pidgeot, etc. At the end of the season, all members of the team that won PSL receive an untradable dev ot shiny of their team mascot. The IVs of the generated shiny are based on the number of wins the PSL team got. Assuming 8 tiers per week for 10 weeks, that's a total of 80 duels; so let's say for each win, the ivs of the shiny can be increased by 2. Obviously, we give the devs a large amount of prismatic pearls (60 maybe?) as a money sink for the roughly 10-12 shinies that would get generated.
It's nothing crazy, but it would give psl winners an actual trophy for their win. Some players might also try to collect as many trophies as possible over the years. Winners could also compare their performance to other winners based on the total ivs of their shitty Tentacruel. I could also see some players get mad if they end up for the 3rd time on the Rats team.
Anyhow, if people are interested we could approach the dev team to figure out if that's something to consider and what we need to give up as a money sink to make it possible. -
I'm not a big fan of the player sign up template that was used:
QuoteIGN:
Time Zone (UTC Format):
Discord:
Preferred Tiers:
Fluff:
Donation:
Imo, Time Zone, Discord and Donation are not really useful.
I would go for something like this instead:QuoteIGN: Current IGN + Previous IGN
Alts: Alts that participated in previous PSL seasons or won official tournaments must be listed.
Tiers: The player can't be forced by their manager to play in a tier they didn't sign up for. (Bold means preffered tiers)
Availability: If a player will not be available all weeks, they can let managers know. The price of the player will likely be lower, but it also mean the player will not be allowed to play more than the availability disclosed.
Fluff: W.e the player wants to add.

UU: PoseidonWrath vs Umbralol
100k on Umbramol -
What bothers me the most is when a team has no shot of going to playoffs, but still has to play 1, 2 or 3 weeks left. That's fundamentally fucked imo. No one wants to play when they are already out. Eliminated managers usually bench their best players to give a chance to their noobs to make a name for themselves. I don't blame them, but it's unfair to all the previous opponents that had to fight try hard players that are afterwards replaced with meh players.
We had different systems to make sure this does not happen:- 6 out of 8 teams going to playoffs
- All teams make playoffs (advantages/disadvantages based of regular season standings)
-
etc.
This year Doc decided to have only 4 teams going to playoffs, but created the underdog fund as an incentive for eliminated teams to keep trying. It's not a bad idea, we'll see how it goes. Anyhow, it's important for the host to choose a format that makes it unlikely for a team to be eliminated prior to the end of the regular season.
