Sign-Ups Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4




Overview:
The tournament is 'standard' OU, but the gimmick is that each round, a specific base stat is chosen and the only Pokemon allowed during that round are those whose highest base stat is the one chosen.

General Rules:
-These battles can take place on either Shoddy Battle or Pokemon Online, please be capable of downloading both programs if you only have one, to avoid incompatibility.
-64 man tournament (6 rounds, one for each stat)
-Teams can only consist of Pokemon whose highest base stat is the one chosen for that round (list is provided below).
-Pokemon on Smogon's Uber tier list are banned.
-Winners have to PM me a log of their match.

Clauses:
-OHKO Clause
-Sleep Clause
-Evasion Clause
-Freeze Clause
-Species Clause
-Timed Battle
-Self KO Clause

Notes:
-Pokemon don't necessarily have to focus EVs/movesets on the chosen stat, (ex: if Atk is the chosen stat, Arcanine can be used, but it is allowed to run a special set if desired). Mixed sets are also allowed.
-NFE Pokemon can be used, especially if their evolution is banned due to being uber or to stat conditions (ex: Shelgon in Def, Poliwhirl in Spe, etc)
-Pokemon with tied highest base stats are be allowed in all rounds in which the tied highest stats are chosen (ex: Celebi [allowed in all 6 rounds], Mismagius [allowed in SpA, SpD, and Spe]), however, there is a limit. Only one Pokemon whose base stats are all identical (ex. Celebi, Castform) can be used per team. This is to reduce the surprise factor. These Pokemon are denoted with a +.



Pairings for Round 5 are as follows:
San_Pellegrino vs. Bad Ass
legendary_07 vs. Agammemnon



Deadline is: Wednesday January 12th @ 11:59pm EST

If anyone notices any errors in the allowed Pokemon list, please point it out. I'm only human after all. Also if anyone has any questions or wants to make sure their team is legal, feel free to PM me.
Good luck, and have fun!

San_Pellegrino vs. Bad Ass
legendary_07 vs. Agammenon

ok

Well, this looks fun. will contact bad ass

Agammemnon ! Random teams to win it all.

legendary_07 and BA

San vs Legendary in the finals but I won't predict that battle with two bros in it.

We got huge time-zones differences - I think we are both trying our best to get this done. I sent him a VM when we were both online and he ignored it, though!

Activity Post.

Edit: I saw him online again and sent him another VM. He turned offline a few minutes after that.

legendary is trying to setup an instant schedule like "please come right now i'm on lol", I was disconnecting at the same time I guess.
I'm online 12 hours a day, so this is not an activity post at all, dude...

EDIT : As a proof of my good will, I'll be online tomorrow from 2pm to 8pm, GMT+1, on PO server (French Time).
REDIT : I'll be online this "night" from 9pm to 2am, still GMT+1, on PO server French Time.

I'm not going everytime on Smogon, it's too crowded of random people sending random challs and I'm not receiving messages while idling.
Just come and highlight me.

legendary didn't show up to the schedule, even if it was 12 hours long.
VM'ing again.

Ummm...extension please. I don't even know if Bad Ass has made a team yet, he replied to 1 out of the many I sent.

I'll give you guys another week because I don't want to send players to the finals on a coin flip. I will if I have to though, so please get your matches done!

Edit: seeing that one battle has been completed, I'll reduce the extension to 3 days. I don't want to keep agammemnon waiting.

crit after crit - good game or whatever :/

Just did my battle against legendary_07.
I had luck on my side and won.
GG anyway.

EDIT : I sent log, as requested, obviously.

Yeah, that's cool...I'll wait on Bad Ass then.

im working on my team

still no word from Bad Ass

san pellegrino i challenge you to a duel

lost in a GG. Bad Ass was a better risk manager by far.

Bad Ass vs Agammemnon
