The Fortune Cup: Game Corner EXTRAVAGANZA!
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Fortune Cup, where victory equals a healthy payday and defeat means scrabbling for spare cash! The Fortune Cup is a different breed of competition that your typical OU or RU tournaments, it will primarily test your luck and your ability to make do with what you get. Though of course, the wealthier you are, the more you can twist the odds in your favour.
In this installment of Fortune Cup...
...This session will take place in our famous Game Corner!!
If you want to join the fun, just post in the thread saying you're in. After that, you will be RNGd eight Pokemon you can use to make your team or teams. That's where things get exciting, because your Pokemon could be literally anything. You might find you get your hands on an uber like Rayquaza or Arceus, or you might have the misfortune of RNGing a Caterpie or Sunkern.
You can use those eight random Pokemon in any configurations you want and with any EVs, IVs, moves or Ability's you want (as long as they can legally have them). We'll be playing in the Anything Goes tier, that means Dynamax, Mega Evolution and Z-moves (a max of one each) are also fair game. The main thing here is that you must use a full team of six.
"What if all eight of my Pokemon are bad?" I hear you asking. Don't worry, that's where capitalism comes in. By battling others you can earn special Game Corner coins. Battling someone on the other team will earn you ten coins for a win and five for a loss. Battling someone on your own team will earn you five coins for a win but none for a loss. Between battles, you can PM either Dragon or gimmepie and spend coins at the exchange corner (as shown below). Additionally, every three losses you experience, you can ask us to RNG you another Pokemon for free. Be careful with how you spend your coins though, because the winner of the Fortune Cup is also determined by who has the most coins at the end!
At times, you can expect to see some special Game Corner Events pop up in the the thread too. Depending on what you do during those events, you may unlock free Pokemon, earn bonus coins or be less fortunate and suffer something more detrimental instead.
Please keep in mind, the best chance at victory you have is to battle as much as possible. There's no limit to the number of times you can battle someone, and the more you battle the more coins you earn and the more chances you have to obtain better Pokemon. You do need to keep track of your wins and losses and your coin total in a single post in this thread though. Anything else will not be counted.
The Fortune Cup will run through October 9th - October 23rd, 11:59 p.m.
- Sleep Clause: You may only put a single member of your opponent's party to sleep at a time.
- Evasion Clause: You may not use Double Team or Minimize.
- OHKO Clause: OHKO moves like Fissure and Sheet Cold are banned.
- Endless Battle Clause: You cannot force a battle that can't end without someone forfeiting.
All battles are to be had on Main Battle Server Lobby in Pokemon Showdown and are best of one. Let's keep those coins flowing fast, it's better for the market. You must provide replay links to your battles when recording your wins and losses in this thread.

How This Works
You can use those eight random Pokemon in any configurations you want and with any EVs, IVs, moves or Ability's you want (as long as they can legally have them). We'll be playing in the Anything Goes tier, that means Dynamax, Mega Evolution and Z-moves (a max of one each) are also fair game. The main thing here is that you must use a full team of six.

Battle Rules
Some battle specific rules to note! While technically the Fortune Cup uses the Gen 8 National Dex Anything Goes format (meaning you can use any Pokemon, have the same Pokemon on your team twice (if you RNG it twice) and use Dynamax, Z-Moves and Megas), the other battle rules we will be using are more akin to Ubers. Those rules are as follows:- Sleep Clause: You may only put a single member of your opponent's party to sleep at a time.
- Evasion Clause: You may not use Double Team or Minimize.
- OHKO Clause: OHKO moves like Fissure and Sheet Cold are banned.
- Endless Battle Clause: You cannot force a battle that can't end without someone forfeiting.
