Hello, fellow Pokemon Trainers! Are you itching for a competitive series that adds a little spice to your battling style? Well, look no further!

The NintenPedia GBA-styled Draft League is a format unlike any you have played! In this format, you are allowed to "draft" or pick which Pokemon you'd like to train and battle with! Here's the catch; once a Pokemon has been chosen for a team, Coaches may NOT use any duplicate Pokemon. That means, if you want to use Mega Charizard Y and another player has that Pokemon, you are not allowed to use it until the next season. Instead of points, Coaches on Pedia will use PC for their drafts.

Speaking of Pokemon, here are the tier lists!

More details coming soon!!!

EDIT: Where should the standard gen seven mons, Tapus and UBs go? Tapu Koko might be a prime slot for Tier 1. Will look up Tier lists with gen seven mons

EDIT: Here are the Banned Pokemon:

-Tapu Lele
-Greninja and Ash Greninja
-Pheramosa
-Hoopa-U
-Zygarde with Power Construct
-Kyurem-B
-Porygon-Z
-Landorus-I
-Mega Sableye
-Any Mon in Ubers
Will update the tier lists accordingly.
http://www.t5forums.com/forum/media/games/358326-pokemon-draft-league-sun-and-moon-edition

EDIT: For now, the UBs and Tapus will be in Tier 1 and Pokemon not listed in gen 7 will be in Tier 5 until further notice.

EDIT: Banned Abilities and Moves:

-Foul Play/Swagger combo
-Shadow Tag
-Arena Trap

EDIT: Current Smogon Doubles OU rules are in effect, as this format is a Double Battle format. Each coach will be able to draft up to eight Pokemon, bring in six per team and four per battle.

EDIT: Coaches are allowed to draft up to 2 Pokemon per tier. I.e. 2 Pokemon from Tier 1, etc. But, if there is a Mega involved, its only one. So CHOOSE CAREFULLY!

EDIT: So many edits O-0 Just a disclaimer, I am totally new to GBA Draft, and need more time and hands for research. If anyone would like to help, please message me in a Private Convo.

Here's a teambuilding guide for the Draft League

I've seen it done on YouTube before. You take mons from different tiers (not sure if they're different from Smogon) and put em all on one team (and I'm not sure if there's trades or not because I'm new to this too).

I'm into this idea. More details would be nice but I'd absolutely sign up for this. Keep us posted, and I'm going to watch this thread.
 
Sounds interesting. Might be the spark to make me pick back up Pokemon again.
 
Sounds fun! Is there a limit to how many points/PC you're allowed to spend? I feel like otherwise, people who have a lot of PC would have a big advantage over people with not much.

You are allowed two Pokemon per tier. I.e. 2 Pokemon from Tier 1, etc.
 
So this would be Pokemon Showdown, or in game?

It's interesting, definitely more inviting as a doubles format.

I might need help in some research, as my time on this site is pretty limited. Would anyone like to help out in my absence?
