​

Clamperl has made itself known as a potent threat in the early rounds of the ongoing ADV LC Open: Porygon's Bizarre Adventure tournament. Boasting a sky high Special Attack stat of 36 thanks to the DeepSeaTooth item, as well as great coverage with STAB Surf, Ice Beam, and Hidden Power Grass, Clamperl is capable of OHKOing almost everything in the tier. Once behind a Substitute, Clamperl equipped with DeepSeaTooth is extremely difficult to deal with and can easily win the game. As seen in the recent tiering survey, many players agreed that DeepSeaTooth was worthy of a suspect:

​

The ADV Council agrees that DeepSeaTooth is a controversial element of the ADV LC metagame, and that a suspect test is necessary to determine if it should continue to be allowed in the metagame.

Suspect Details:
All alt accounts must follow these requirements:

• created no earlier than today (Friday January 26th, 2024).
• start with the prefix CLAM - i.e. CLAM grape tylenol. The prefix must be at the beginning of the name and correctly spelled.
• must have a GXE of at least 75, with at least 40 games played. In addition, you may play 1 less game for every 0.2 GXE you have above 75 GXE, down to a minimum of 25 games at a GXE of 78. Needing more than 40 games to reach 75 GXE is fine.
