With multiple tours based around Sun and Moon already, I'm sure the majority of you already have a grasp on which mon are running the meta, and maybe the mons that aren't fairing well in the meta. I believe that it is quite a shame that every new mon will not have a chance to shine on the OU stage. So for this tournament... you must build a team with at least 2 of the lovely new 8 "unconventional" or niche mons in the OU tier that I have selected. This will hopefully give almost every new mon a chance to be seen in OU before the tier establishes before they get kicked out or potentially stay (never know).
These mons will include Alolan Forms, new Pokemon from Gen 7, and existing mons that received a significant buff/nerf.
Tournament Specific Rules
- 8 mons will be selected each round
- Your team must include at least 2 of the 8 mons.
- Teams may use more than 2 of the 8 mons if they desire.
- If a form is specified, you may not use a different form (If Lycanroc-Midday is selected, you may not use Lycanroc-Midnight, vice versa)
- The 8 mons will change during each round. However, some mons from previous rounds may make their reappearance during future rounds.
- Mega Evolution enabled
- Z Moves enabled
- Unavailable Hidden Abilities disabled until their release
- Since we do not know if Mega Stones will be transferable via Pokebank, certain mons will be unable to Mega Evolve until further notice
General Rules
- Battles will be best of 1
- Single Elimination Tour
- All standard tournament rules apply
- Follow all S/M Clauses
- Replays must be posted to signify your victory
- Matches will be played on [Gen 7] Pokebank OU on Showdown/SmogTours
- If a ban/unban happens or a new clause is added at any point during the tournament,
it will take effect as soon as a new round starts.
- Activity calls require a reason such as missing the scheduled time, not communicating, etc. Proof is also nice to have.
