Welcome to the Eighth SMW Central Pokémon Showdown Tournament. I will be your host, and this time we'll be playing Balanced Hackmons! As you probably know already, Balanced Hackmons is a format where you can set almost any move, or ability to any pokémon, and you can even use mega pokémon without their evolution stone. As you can guess in this format it is harder to predict what your opponent will do because they have a large pool of move and abilities to choose from.
