SEPTEMBER POKEMON TOURNAMENT SIGN-UPS
Oh boy time for sign-ups! This month's Standard Pokemon Tourney will be taking place at 12 Noon Pacific Time on September 18th! Simply post in this thread to sign up! Of course, here is a recap of the rules...
Rule 1: Banned Pokemon. There are plenty of Pokemon out there that are simply deemed to powerful for fair play, and as such they have received a fair banning. The following Pokemon are banned and as a result CAN not and WILL not be used on any team, unless you like being disqualified:
Rule 2: Sleep Clause. This one is easy. You can not put two or more of the foe's Pokemon to sleep, but keep in mind that if a foe's Rhydon used Rest, and then brought in their Meowth, you could put it to sleep as self-induced sleep does not make a difference.
Rule 3: OHKO Clause. Another easy one! Just don't use Sheer Cold, Horn Drill, Guillotine, or Fissure. All of these moves are banned.
Rule 4: Evasion Clause. This clause prevents you from using any move that raises your evasion. Move like Double Team and Minimize fall into this category. However, keep in mind that moves such as Sand Attack and Smokescreen ARE INDEED LEGAL. There accuracy-dropping effects can be remedied by switching out, so using these moves is a completely valid strategy.
Rule 5: Species Clause. This prevents you from using 2 or more Pokemon that share the same National Dex number on the same team.
:65: :65: :65: :65: :65: :65: X
:65: :65: :71: :80: X
:65: :71: :80:
Rule 6: Self-Destruct Clause. If you and your foe are down to one Pokemon each, then this clause doesn't let you use Explode, Self-Destruct, or Destiny Bond on your final Pokemon. If you ignore the rule and bring down your foe anyway, then no matter what the game says you are declared the loser. This type of victory is not considered a valid one.
Rule 7: No Hacked Pokemon. This is without a doubt the most important of any clauses out there. Hacked Pokemon aren't just the ones such as the Dragonite with 999 in all of its stats that knows Hydro Cannon, Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, and Splash, but also those that have been altered or obtained through the usage of outside tools such as Action Replay or *******. RNG Abuse is considered valid in this tourney.
Oh, and Quick Claw is also banned.
Well that's about it in terms of rules! If you have any issues or questions, bring them up now or forever hold your peace!
