The Stat Specialization Tournament! - Round 3​

This round's chosen stat is:
Defense​

Artwork from Arkeis.com​

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 +.

[alamaster]

Didn't occur to me at the time, but Private used Jirachi and Shaymin during the match. He also didn't save the log :/ What should we do in this situation?

 

[Private]

Rematch I guess.

 

[Blackhawk11]

I would like a rematch to occur.

[KnightoftheWind]

Got several bad Sleep Talk rolls in a row and lost. gg snorlax.

 

[snorlax]

won against KotW 3-0 in a bizarre battle on PO since most of our items seemed to be disabled. in fact, only one item actually seemed useable for me and that was on my scarf celebi that screwed over his CM jirachi. im certainly not complaining because it was a GG, just without items

 

[Earthworm]

You must have used the old version of the client, since it sounds like you had Item Clause on and PO's new update has rearranged the order of the clauses. It's definitely a good idea to download the updated version of the client to avoid that.

 

[alamaster]

k I should have my team ready in a couple of days then.

 

[San_Pellegrino]

will contact erbyssial

 

[Pallas Athena]

List to Reyscarface. GG.

 

[reyscarface]

won 4-0, gg

 

[Kaxtar]

lost 0-3 to Agammemnon in a really, really close game. gg.

 

[Agammemnon]

Confirming my victory against Kaxtar.
GG !

 

[Bad Ass]
