The Exclusion Tournament
Link to Round 1 thread: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47352&page=12
All rules will remain the same EXCEPT:
1. Deoxys-E is banned.
2. We will be following the updated statistics this time instead of the old September statistics. Found here: http://users.smogon.com/X-Act/Smogon%20Battle%20Statistics%20-%20Standard%20Ladder%20-%20Oct%202008%20Output.txt
3. You are only allowed to use 2 moves that are listed as popular on that link.^
ROUND 2In every round, you add a stipulation that you have to exclude one more move from the pokemon. Like, in round 2, to continue with Arin's Heatran example, if you wanted to use Heatran, you would have to use something like Fire Blast/Earth Power/Substitute/Dark Pulse, and in round 3 you would have to use Fire Blast/Flash Cannon/Substitute/Dark Pulse, eventually getting to where you could use none of the most common moves?
