The VGC '98 Tournament!

It’s time for a VGC 2011 style metagame with a retro twist. Fight with your original 151 favorites in a modern way!

Rules:

5th Gen flat battles, Doubles 4v4, Level 50.
Species Clause: A Player may not have two of the same Pokemon on their team.
Item Clause: A Player may not have the same item on two or more of his or her Pokemon
Self-KO Clause: If a player’s last Pokemon faints due to Explosion, sort of recoil, or faints after using Destiny Bond and brings down the opponent’s last Pokemon, the last Pokemon of those two to faint, wins.
Sky Drop Clause: No Pokemon may know Sky Drop.
Please use legitimate Pokemon if possible.
- For those of you who would like to enter the tournament with legal hacks, you absolutely must make sure they are completely battle legal. This includes but is not limited to level / movepool / Pokeball restraints. Making your Pokemon battle legal is entirely your burden, do not ask for assistance here.
- If your opponent reports you using illegal hacks, you will be disqualified and possibly blacklisted!

You are free to use Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Sandstorm, Hail, Gravity, or whatever you'd like. The ban on Drought was just a measure to stop Sun teams from dominating with the lack of opposing perma weather.

BlaqJstr · Apr 26th, 2012, 1:43:22 PM

OK I get it now Ninetales is the only Perma weather Pokemon so its ability is banned.......I see what you did there
