Ahh, that I missed. I thought he was higher. I'll fix it. EDIT SORRY SORRY SORRY! I just realized Round 2 was supposed to be 451-499 (cuts off at Seismitoad), that way I don't have to ban more things like Scizor and Ursaring from that round and it makes Round 3 a little bit bigger. BST 500 starts Round 3 and Politoed is usable there, just not with Drizzle.

Regarding Level 51's questions and suggestions, the bans in each round do in fact mean you will never play with certain Pokémon in Rounds 1-4 (Chansey, Buck, Blaziken, etc). Would a Round 5 free for all be appealing? Or would that just be a repeat of Round 4 with essentially the addition of Blaziken and Chansey? I mean, Blaziken would be awesome with V-Create/Speed Boost/Drought wrecking stuff once Giratina is gone.
This would raise the point total to 15.
I would be in. I don't quite understand why Arceus is banned for the last rounds. I would think that it would just get Normal type moves that it could use in it's other forms. I don't think that it would be too ridiculous to allow, at least for round 5.

The thing with STABmons is that if it can change forms outside of battle, it can keep all the moves learned in previous forms. Like how Shaymin can turn into Shaymin-Sky and back. That allows regular Shaymin to keep all Flying moves it learned as Shaymin-Sky.
With Arceus, you can change its form/type with a Plate, so it can learn any move of any type. I just think it's broken no matter the round.

no round five free for all please?
oh this would be a good set (not in the tournament)

are you thinking of non-ghost curse?
it still is not very good but whatever
I would like to play in the tournament, this sounds like a lot of fun!
I'm in the tourney as well ^^
Btw, by lifting banlists in Rounds 4 and 5 you mean that ubers are allowed, right?

correct
For the 450 Club, shouldn't we ban Smashpass? Most usable stuff is NU anyways, and Smashpass is banned in the lower tiers. Bibarel could be quite a hassle if it could Pass +4 in every offensive stat.

Y'all jokers must be crazy
I did handle smashpass once relatively easily but I agree, it is kind of OP. Most of these pokes have lower defenses than before.
Umm, I didn't see my name on the list, so I'm going to confirm that I am in
Oh lol I was looking for the wrong username. Oh, and how much time will be in between each round? And where will this take place?
Will this tourney be Wifi or PS? :o
