Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Replays must be saved, but don’t have to be posted this round. Please just DM them to me on Smogon or Discord so that I can use them for usage stats.
Also, please don’t forget this is Bo3. It says it in the tour OP but I’m putting it here so some of you don’t forget...
Remember to use the LC UU Resource Thread for the current banlist, viability rankings, and a ton of new sample teams! More teams may be posted during this tournament.

I dodged a bullet last round by not having to use Seedot since i was given the win. The Seedot set I had planned to use is below, but please for the love of god do not use this awful mon ever.
Seedot @ King's Rock
Ability: Chlorophyll
Level: 5
EVs: 36 HP / 196 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SpD / 196 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Bullet Seed
- Beat Up
- Swords Dance
- Sunny Day
The idea was to setup either swords dance or sunny day on an expected switch - i.e. water/ground/rock types and go for a scummy flinch with the multi hit moves.
My random mon for the next round is cacnea, which can actually be pretty good considering it has usable stats and an ok movepool. Nailec watch out
Seed Bomb is the primary STAB move, Thunder Punch was there to punish switches into either flying types or water types, Poison Jab was for Cottonee specifically, which would otherwise wall this set, and Drain Punch seemed like the most useful coverage.
Next round random mon:
Buizel it is, another solid mon that is currently unranked in the LCUU VR. With 19 speed, a solid movepool and decent offenses, this could be another fun mon. Also, nice accidental photobomb.
Thanks everyone for sending in replays last round. I promise that even if I don’t get up usage stats for the last two weeks. I will at least gather all of them for total usage stats. For this round, save and post your replays.
