Welcome to Type Restriction, where your ability to adapt to the SM OU metagame without various important (and sometimes crucial) typings available will be put to the test. Unlike the last iteration of this tournament, the bans that become effective each round will compound, meaning that the teambuilding pressure is higher than ever, so be prepared to adapt quickly as the rounds progress.
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokemon on their team.
- Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokemon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokemon.
- Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokemon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items or indirect boosts do not break this clause.
- OHKO Clause: Players cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokemon's movesets.
- Timer Clause: If a player exhausts the timer, he/she loses.
Type Restriction Rules
- Rounds are single elimination.
- Matches are played in SM OU.
- Matches are best-of-one (save and post replays for confirmation).
- Every round, a new type will be banned (cumulative), meaning that if a particular type is banned, a Pokemon of only that type AND Pokemon with dual typings with the banned typing are banned, i.e:
- Round 1 prohibits the use of Fire-types (no Darmanitan, Houndoom, Alolan Marowak, etc);
- Round 2 prohibits the use of Electric-types AND Fire-types (no Charizard, Tapu Koko, etc.);
- Round 3 prohibits the use of Fighting-types, Electric-types, AND Fire-types (no Pheromosa, Rotom-Wash, Arcanine, etc.).
This tournament is part of the Smogon Championship. The points available in this tournament will be listed below; depending on the # of participants, the amount of points available to be earned will be told to players Round 1 and beyond.
