Dodrio Cup 2 Signups Have Begun
The long awaited Dodrio Cup 2 is now here. The Dodrio Cup 2 is the Nugget Bridge twist on 2013’s CoroCoro Cup. While we cannot give Worlds invites, you can earn a spot in the Nugget Bridge Invitational.
Dodrio Cup is a 3 versus 3 single elimination team tournament with a fun twist. Species clause applies across your entire 3 person team. This means a Pokemon cannot be used on more than one person’s team within your team. Tired of seeing Landorus on every team? Only one of your opponents can have it each round now! Not only does this prevent some of the more common Pokemon from being used so much, it opens the door for some creative Pokemon team building. Some of the lesser used Pokemon now have a chance to shine and prove their worth.
As mentioned this is a 3 person team tournament so only people with 2 other teammates can join. Get your friends together and compete in one of the more unique rule sets for a chance at glory.
Rules for Dodrio Cup:
- Normal rules for the Nugget Bridge Circuit apply (so Standard Ruleset)
- Teams will be made up of 3 players, no more, no less.
- Species clause will apply across all 3 players. This includes all formes — if a Pokemon shares a Pokedex number with another Pokemon it is not allowed.
- If species clause is broken, the offender will receive a game loss for that game.
- Each game is a best of 1. First team to win 2 games advances. The password is Doduo.
- Single elimination.
- The game must be played on a 3DS system rather than simulators outside extreme circumstances approved by the tournament organizer makiri
Example of a BAD team
- Huy has Rotom, Goodra, Meowstic, Aerodactyl, Azumarill, Pikachu
- Scott has Mawile, Slurpluff, Chesnaught, Conkeldurr, Rotom, Gyarados
- Evan has Kangaskhan, Rotom, Salamence, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Ferrothorn
As you can see each team has a Rotom, this is not allowed. To fix their teams, 2 of the players need to remove Rotom from their team.
Example of a GOOD team
- Huy has Politoed, Goodra, Meowstic, Aerodactyl, Azumarill, Pikachu
- Scott has Mawile, Slurpluff, Chesnaught, Conkeldurr, Aegislash, Gyarados
- Evan has Kangaskhan, Rotom, Salamence, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Ferrothorn
You may register by having all three teams members sign up in the thread and then having the captain join the tournament on Battlefy. Both steps must be taken to complete registration. Registration will close on April 29th, 2015 at 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7).

Get HYPE!
I don’t have a team to play, but I’m wanting to join one, is their possibly a specific forum I can go to find some others needing extra teammates? =)
This competiton is genius! Can’t wait to represent Team Terranium
since it doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere (or maybe I can’t find it?), i have a few questions:
– How do we determine who battles who between teams?
– Do all battles have to be done at the same time or can they be spaced out throughout the week?
I’d love to play but I also don’t have teammates. Any takers?
When Battlefy asks for your ‘In Game Name’ should I enter my name in ORAS, or on NuggetBridge? ‘In Game’ suggests ORAS, but the NBM wanted your Nuggetbridge Username.
Nugget Bridge.
– It will be posted in the Round by Round thread
– They can be spaced out
There’s a thread for it in the Online Tournaments forum.
Can’t find the start date. Is it right on the 30th or is there more prep time?
does anybody want to join a team? My feign and I need only one person
friend*
I’m interested in participating but I don’t have a team. Is there anyone out there still who’s also interested and needs a team?
Not sure why people are asking for teams here. There is a thread built for it here :]
