Greetings, dear users of Smogon!
Today we celebrate the anniversary of an infamous force of nature on this website, and one that has also heavily shaped the Wi-Fi section: Nelson Tangela! As is our noble tradition, we will commemorate this special occasion with a rather unique tournament.
Prepare to see a lot of underused and underappreciated Pokemon in this competition, and learn to fear the wrath of the mighty Tangrowth!

----------
Standard Rules:
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
- Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing pokémon.
- Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
- OHKO Clause: Players cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokémon's movesets.
- Battle Timeout: If a player exhausts the timer, he/she loses.
- Users currently on the Wi-Fi Blacklist aren't allowed to participate.
- The complete set of Tournament Rules can be found here.
- The battles are 6on6, and will be played at level 50.
- The King: Every player is required to run a Tangrowth on their team. The set is up to them, and can be changed after each round.
- The Pawns: The other five slots are limited to Pokemon from NU and below. They can be changed after each round. All NU clauses and bans (Baton Pass, Drizzle, etc.) are in place for these slots.
- Once a player's King is knocked out, that player automatically loses. Whatever happens subsequently in the battle doesn't influence the outcome, so either player may forfeit the battle immediately after.
- Match-ups will be randomly generated for each round.
- The battles are best of 3. Changes to the team may only be made once the round has been completed.
- This is a single elimination tournament, so only the winners may proceed to the next round.
- In the case of a disconnection, the player who disconnected will forfeit the match, unless the winner grants a replay.
- The winner of this tournament may request a custom banner drawn by either FellFromtheSky or me (Cretacerus).
- The second place may request for a custom banner drawn by the other artist.

Sign-ups will be open for around two weeks from now, to give everyone ample time to build their team. An accompanying giveaway will feature a small selection of Tangrowth and NU Pokemon, so be sure to give it a look and request for anything you might need. ;)
