About the UPN CC League

Have you ever wanted to battle with monsters you don't normally use?
Have you ever thought it might be fun to use randomly-assigned creatures in a fight against an opponent?
Have you ever wondered what Pokémon Online's CC would be like if the monsters consistently had good movesets?

Well, wonder no longer: because your dreams have become reality!
Welcome to the Universal Pokémon Network Challenge Cup League!

(watch sample video)

The UPN CC League is inspired by Pokémon Online's Challenge Cup format. In the P-O CC, you are randomly assigned six creatures who in turn have randomly assigned movesets and EVs. It's a fun format that pits you against other trainers in a true test of your abilities as a battler. Knowing when to switch and when not to switch, knowing how to successfully bluff (or counter-bluff!) an opponent, and thinking outside the box are all important skills for any Pokémon battle: but they're ones which are especially important in the Challenge Cup.

But one common complaint that even we lovers of the Challenge Cup format have had about it is, "Man :|, I sure do wish that the creatures had better movesets." We don't mind the random nature of some of the movesets but in some cases it's just ridiculous. Like when you get a Starmie without a single water, electric, ice, or utility move. Or like when you get a Blissey who only knows physical attacks. So we thought, "If P-O won't bring our dream CC to us, then we'll bring our dream CC to them ... :D" And so the UPN CC League was born.

How It Works: In brief (detailed explanation here), we've created competitive movesets for a host of Pokémon. First, you'll need to get the boxes. Then, you need to RNG to determine your teams. And then you fight! Pretty simple, right? It is. So don't be frightened by the wall of text below. XP It's only long because I'm holding your hand every step of the way explaining to you how this system works.
