Hey everyone, this gen has brought a cool new feature on the PGL, friendly competitions. This is going to be the first one hosted here on the Battle Spot forum and will follow standard Battle Spot Singles rules, bring 6 pick 3 and special/event legendaries are banned. The winner will receive a special role on our discord. Not much besides pride is on the line here, so we encourage you to join if you're looking for an avenue to practice or just to have some fun.

We'll also be having a discord party during the competition! There'll be a new channel in the Battle Spot discord to chat with other players. We encourage you to come hang out and have a good time. Hope to see you there!

If I had known how low the scores would've been, I wouldn't have quit so early to be honest. Oh well.

not bad though I beat a famous person :pimp:

(wonder why it says we are all from Japan though?)

Had a bunch of good games! Shame I couldn't play day 2, but judging from the scores I probably should've stopped sooner anyway; could've been in the #5 slot, but I hit a bit of a losing streak after the first few matches. But still, I'm happy with where I placed, especially since my team was pretty much just 6 boxed mons thrown together.

Also Hulavuta I'm definitely bringing Qwilfish rain next time. Can't be having Mega Swampert hog all the glory. :pimp:
