Things have been busy all around, lately, so here's a little something that shouldn't be too difficult to prepare for.
Challenge #3 is going to be a Little Cup tournament!
The Rules
-Each trainer will use three of their own Pokemon. We won't be supplying them this time.
-The Pokemon must be at Level 5 maximum.
-The Pokemon must have evolved forms, but must also be in their most basic form for the tournament. That means no evolved Pokemon, no single-form Pokemon (i.e. Pinsir, Spiritomb, etc.), and especially no legendaries.
-Hold items are allowed, but they must be unique. Two of your Pokemon cannot be holding the same item.
-Battles will be held over Wi-Fi as Free Single Battles, without changing the levels of the Pokemon.
-Standard rules will apply. These include the Sleep Clause and Self-KO Clause. No set damage moves (Dragon Rage, Sonic Boom, Psywave, etc.) are allowed.
Since you are going to be using your own Pokemon, you're absolutely free to teach them whichever Level-up, TM or Egg Moves they can legally learn. If you're an avid Pokemon Breeder then you know what to do, and if you're relatively new to breeding then this is a great opportunity to play around with it. Of course, breeding the Pokemon you use is not exactly a requirement, but keep in mind that it is highly recommended.
The Pokemon will all be at Level 5, so pretty much all of the work is choosing your Pokemon and proceeding to breed them. There's no additional need to diligently train them to high levels and have them evolve. If there are any doubts about what Pokemon are allowed to participate, just ask and I'll give a yes or no. Questions on breeding are also welcome.
Following is the list of trainers who have signed up. Remember, if you want to participate in the
pkmn_tournament challenges you should also go get added to our
Trainer Registry. That way, it's easy for the combatants to keep in touch with each other and the whole tournament runs more smoothly.

Sign-ups for this challenge will be open for exactly one week. If you want to participate, leave a comment saying so and listing the three Pokemon you plan to enter with. If you don't know which Pokemon you're using yet, that's okay. However, be prepared to post them when asked by the end of the sign-up period. So sign up early and use the time to prepare your teams!
We'll keep this updated as quickly as possible. If there are any questions or issues, please comment to have them addressed. We're hoping that Challenge #3 will be a fun event that people can enjoy even if they have a busy schedule.
Edit: All participants, please see the latest entry for more information on confirming and posting your teams!
