M.U.T.E. III
Introduction (written by yohoE)

Welcome all to the 3rd edition of the Most UBER Tournament Ever, also known as MUTE. This tournament will be co-hosted by Fireburn and yohoE.

Ubers is a tier where only the manliest, most based Pokemon reside. Pokemon such as the behemoth, Primal-Groudon; Pokemon like the bloodcurdling Mega-Salamence. You see, there are no counters in Ubers, and there are close to no safe switch-ins. In Ubers, you always have to assess your situation; you always have to think about which Pokemon you don't need, and which Pokemon will bring you the win. This Tier is as fast-paced as they come; this Tier is as team-reliant as it comes. As stated in former MUTE Tournaments, our Tier, sadly, is not getting the attention and love it deserves. In the words of the great Furai, it's time to give Ubers the love it deserves. We will be rekindling arguably the best Ubers tournament ever created, hosted originally by some of the all-time Ubers greats such as Bojangles, Hugendugen, Zephyr, Furai and Firemage: THE MOST UBER TOURNAMENT EVER!


General Tournament Rules
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here
  • Standard ORAS Ubers
  • Single Elimination
  • Species Clause
  • OHKO Clause
  • Evasion Clause
  • Endless Battle Clause
  • Sleep Clause
  • Self-KO Clause

Special Rules:

  • This will be a team tournament akin to Team Trials. They will be teams of 5. We will have 16 teams, chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis.
    • Sign up as a team
    • Everybody on the team must confirm
    • Come up with an awesome name
    • For those who do not have a team, I will be keeping a list of “free agents” so go ahead and express interest! I will not be making teams though, so it is your responsibility to seek out other free agents.
    • IMPORTANT: When you sign up as a team, each member will be randomly assigned to be in a Division (A-E are possibilities). When teams play each other, people will play the corresponding player in their division. The restrictions will be given by division as well. YOU MAY NOT CHANGE DIVISIONS.
  • Every round, each division will be given a teambuilding restriction. You obviously must follow this.
    • Round 1 - Players will be given a Pokemon they are required to use and a Pokemon they are not allowed to use. The one that you're required to use must be on your team, but you don't have to build around it.
    • Round 2 - Players are given two types, such as Poison and Rock, and must choose a Pokemon of each type to be used on their team. Arceus formes do not count towards satisfying this requirement.
    • Round 3 - Players will be given a core, consisting 3 Pokemon, they must use.
    • Round 4 – Players will be given an item, a type of item, a move, or a type of move that they are not allowed to use.
  • Yes, this means you are building a new team every round. I still expect people to adhere to strict deadlines.
  • Build your teams with your team!
  • YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE FUN


Round 2 Restrictions

Players will be given two types and must use one Pokemon from each of those types. Pokemon that are both of the given types are banned (i.e. if the assigned types are Fire and Flying you can use Reshiram and Rayquaza but not Ho-Oh). Arceus is allowed, but does not count towards satisfying requirements for any type, including Normal. If a Pokemon has a Mega Evolution or a Primal Reversion, only their base forme type is used for the requirement (i.e. you can't use Groudon to fulfill a Fire-type requirement).

Must use a Steel-type and a Bug-type.

Must use a Poison-type and a Fighting-type.

Must use an Ice-type and a Fire-type.

Must use a Rock-type and an Electric-type.

Must use a Grass-type and a Normal-type.

Small correction: Team canada lol asked me before Round 1 was over to sub out user php for Dilwar as the former will not be available for the rest of the tournament.

They contacted me early enough to where this wouldn't be too much of an issue, but this kind of thing won't be allowed for the rest of the tournament, obviously.
 
Can't believe you posted 'won' (BAN ME PLEASE) Move Really hahaha

No, I said if Arceus does not count in my match we can play, so I start with 5 mons. There will be a rematch on friday or sunday, no question. Your squad better try to win and not fish wins vs me, you won't get it. You said, you did not even played right, thats why we rematch, I did not even use 5 mons, think about it, Lead Terra would have won me the match nearly alone. No way for you getting a win like this, typical DracoMasterthings.
 
Sorry, but we cannot give you a rematch. You decided to bring a team without any valid bug type pokemon, which creates a completely different metagame. The metagame that we did not anticipate nor prepared for in that team. Anything short of an automatic win for our team is frankly a bad decision. It would encourage people to scout opposing teams and their thoughts on the divison metagame by bringing invalid teams then fishing for replay.

The rules did clearly state (in bold text, no less) that Arceus does not count towards fulfilling type requirements.

Steve Angello's team is therefore illegal and he is disqualified for this round. hyw gets the win.

Let this be a warning to all other competitors. You may always check with me first if you are not sure your team is legal.

Another situation: Myzozoa challenged ZoroarkForever with an illegal team. Though ZF has the right to take the win, as did hyw when Steve brought an illegal team, he offered instead a rematch with different restrictions which Myzozoa agreed to. They will thus be allowed to rematch with Division B's restrictions.

Again, please check your teams to make sure they are legal under all the restrictions for the round before you play your match. You may PM myself or yohoE your team for approval if you have any doubts at all. It's ultimately your responsibility to ensure your team is legal, so if screw up and your opponent takes the win, it's your own fault. :P
