Power Rankings Week 8

Noah establishes himself as the best performer for the entire Season and Steven goes down to number 2 in the Scarlet Playoffs. This is the last Power rankings in UPFC III. Next week will be Playoff predictions.

1.. Noah, for the second time against an opponent, was taken to a game three. This was the battle of the Titans, and every move and decision had a lasting impact. Noah has secured his number-one spot in the Violet division with his win against Steven. The hero of this battle was his defensive wall, Groviknight with a KDA of 5/1/0. With his Iron defense strategy, he became a defensive wall against Steven's juggernaut, Haxarus. Noah's next matchup is Flak3. This Pokemon trainer is in a unique position. Because his record is so high in his division, he can sit out this game, not show all his cards, and still be in the 1 one seed in the Violet division.

2. Barchun defeated the rookie MrkumaD, with the combination of Hawlucha and Alolah Muk getting both 3 Knockouts apiece. Volbeat had its season-opening but didn't perform. Maybe Hayden hides Volbeat's true potential; one can't be sure. What can be certain is that Barchun's win against MrKumaD has secured a spot in the Playoffs. Barchun is currently at the number 1 seed, and the only way he can go back down to the number 2 spot is if he loses to Billay in the season-closing match and Steven wins his last two games.

3. Steven receives his second loss of the Season. This has been a vast improvement from the previous UPFC II, but this trainer is still looking for more. Steven met his match, and the defensive wall of Groviknight shocked the attacking sweeper, Haxorus. Gholdengo also could have performed better. So far, the secret to beating Steven is stopping his Gholdengo and keeping hold of defensive juggernauts to destroy the Dragon Pokémon Haxorus. The last two games are a must-win for Steven if he wants to return to the number one spot in the Playoffs.

4. Blaze is working on getting his Pokémon back in gear to battle two games in one week. This may be a problem because he won't be able to prepare, for both his matches. His next opponent is Steven, and his last opponent is the other rookie, MrKumaD. If Blaze wins both games, he will secure himself in the playoffs. If He loses one, he will not be in the Playoffs. Billy and Flak3 both have to lose their last games for him to get in.

5. Flak3 Just kept his chances alive in a game three victory over Billy. The three-time UPFC veteran Bossk acrobatically attacked his opponents before they could hit him, resulting in a KDA total of 9/2/0, one of his best performances in UPFC III. Though this performance was a spark of the past, Flak3 will need a miracle to make the Playoffs. He will need to beat the Division leader, Noah, Barchun will need to beat Billay in the last game of the Season, and Blaze will have to lose his last two matches. Though the trainer Pokémon bond gave Flak3 an epic win, he may be out of time to make the Playoffs and must go to the knockout round to continue his championship hopes.

6. Billay traded blows against Flak3, and it seemed Billay had the momentum. Pyroar, Lokix, and Donphan got three knockouts or higher in the best-of-three series, but it wasn't enough to defeat the UPFC veteran Bossk. If Billy had won this match, he would have clinched the number two playoff spot in the Violet Division. However, to make the playoffs, he will have to beat Barchun or hope Blaze loses to MrKumaD and Flak3 loses to Noah.

7. MrKumaD has had the best Season for a rookie in UPFC history. He fought the defending champion with everything he had, resulting in Barchun only having two Pokemon left. Though he lost, this trainer has improved a lot from the beginning of the Season. His next matchup is against Blaze. This is a rookie face-off, and whoever wins this will be rookie of the year. Though this game does not affect the regular Season, it does show who the top rookie is in UPFC III.

8. Ryryebguy served up an upset, defeating TT-bone in just two games. The first game was because of a shell smash sweep by PG Tips, getting a perfect KDA of 4/0/0. The last game in the series, TT-Bone, tried a strategy that didn't work out, resulting in performances from all his Pokemon getting one ko or better. RyeRyebGuy's next matchup is Steven. Though Ryeryebguy has nothing to play for, this will be good practice for the upcoming knockout round.

9. TT-Bone has now lost four straight. This is a typical performance from TT-Bone and is to be expected. If he wants to win in the Knockout round, he will have to come up with a different strategy. Because Isaac's Pokemon fled their Pokeballs, TT-Bone will not be able to battle his son Isaac and will have two weeks to prep for the knockout round.

10. Isaac still has his Pokemon protesting and likely will be out of the rest of UPFC III unless a miracle happens and all his Pokemon decide to return.
