STAB MANIA

Banner thanks to andrew3391
In a standard OU environment, many Pokémon rely on other coverage moves to offer up maximum coverage, what if coverage moves were removed? What if Pokémon had to only rely on Moves in which they only obtained STAB on? Well, I guess we'll have to find out in this tour.

Rules
  • Standard OU
  • All moves used must be found in their movepools - This is NOT to be confused with STABmons
  • All Moves must get STAB - This includes Support moves such as Wish and Reflect (Only Normal types may use Wish, Only Psychic types may use Reflect etc...)
  • To avoid complications, the following moves are banned: Soak, Camouflage, Reflect Type, and all other moves that change the type of either the user or the opponent.
  • Nature Power is considered both a Normal-type move and a Ground-type move.
  • Standard rules and clauses.
  • Single elimination, and the final round will be a best of three.
  • Hidden Power <STAB> may be used on all mons
  • Smeargle Clause - Smeargle may only use Normal Type Moves
  • Meoletta Clause - See this post
Tour Tips
  • Dual typed mons have a larger movepool to work with
  • Boosting Moves can only be used by the Pokémon that get STAB on it
  • Hazards can only come from Rock / Poison / Ground types. Use this information to your advantage during Team Preview
  • Only Normal type pokémon can use Rapid Spin too

Originally had Conkeldurr on Terrakion (it has a great typing, and checks Mamoswine/Kyurem-B if needed), but I realized mid-tour that Terrakion now has Stealth Rock in BW2 (the team had been built for the first edition of the tour in BW1) and it still outspeeds Mamoswine so I figured I should use it.
Ferrothorn and Heatran are the two MVP without a doubt, especially the former one.
 

Bloo

Banned deucer.
Time to change the little blurb under the Tournaments subforum to "All tournaments here have been won by McMeghan and will continue to be won by him" instead of what is there now.

Welcome black, Mc2012.
