I am preparing for a match of Pokemon in the Gen 9 National Dex Monotype format. More details can be found in my other market here (note that, unlike the linked market, this market has nothing to do with AI; I'm just looking to evaluate the teams). To this end, I am looking for challengers to pilot the opposing team.

Resolves YES if a challenger beats me in a Bo5 match.

Otherwise, resolves NO at market close time.

Format and rules shamelessly stolen from here:

"Any Manifold user may challenge me to a match. Any given user may make one attempt if they hold 2000 YES shares in this market. The requirement doubles for every attempt after. So they need to hold 2000 shares before making their first attempt, 6000 total shares if they want to make a second attempt, 14000 shares if they want to make a third [attempt], etc. When you are placing a bet, your 'Max payout' is how many shares you are buying.

"[I am] obligated to accept any challenge from someone with enough shares. Also, [I] must be willing to buy NO shares at [80]% if [I] have the mana to spare to allow challengers to take their shot."

Challengers must use this exact team. I will use this exact team. I will coordinate with challengers (either through Manifold or Discord messages) to find a time that is acceptable to both parties. Games will be played through Pokemon Showdown.

• Update 2025-02-11 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Update from creator

  • The match format is now Best-of-5 (Bo5) instead of a Best-of-3.

  • Future challenges will be played under this Bo5 format to ensure more meaningful matches.
