That isn't a great argument puggy... one could easily argue that a smart opponent can prevent such an opportunity from arising in the first place.
 
I PM'ed wayff13 to set a time for our match. I got one question though. I know it says putting any pokemon to sleep is banned but does that include self induced sleep?
 
If you are asking if Rest is banned then I think the answer is no.

I think CK meant for along the lines of: Any move that puts the opponent to sleep is banned.

If you want to use Rest then feel free, but it is practically set-up bait when you cant switch.

Sikh: I know it is 3 days, but I kind of want to get this over with sooner so I have more time to improve my team after I see what problems it has during our battle.

Not exactly. There are 6 pokemon on each players team. But the thing is, only once they have been sent out to battle will they be revealed. Seems obvious but unless the opposing player has the ability to see the future (which is rather uncommon), the 6 pokemon are a mystery until they are set out. This means a memento user will be a surprise.

The most broken of these is Jumpluff who has encore.

For example

Dude 1's Yanmega used something
Blissey used Ice Beam
Dude 1's Yanmega fainted

Dude 1 switched in Jumpluff
jumpluff used Encore
Blissey used Ice Beam
Jumpluff survived due to focus sash

Jumpluff used Memento
Blissey's sats were lowered
Jumpluff fainted

Dude 1 switched in Charizard
Charizard used substitute
Blissey used Ice Beam

In the end, Charizard sets its self up and proceeds to sweep the opposing team.

Really, this tactic can be likened to the use of Wobb in todays metagame (remember, no switching). Wobb also has no true counter as we know it, as nothing can switch in to it. Even the best players can be beaten by Wobb, Kira. And really, we all know how popular Wobb is.

Even if this isn't such a great argument, it's better then "Deoxys E outspeeds everything!!!!Therefore Memento shouldn't be a problem!!!!!!"
 
And if that's the case, Deoxys would have to predict the Memento, before being hit with a variety of moves that could harm it. In that span, Taunt could ware off when you bring in a new pokemon.
 
True... ok I see your point. Plus if you look back to the sign-ups I asked for memento to be banned.

I just dont want it banned now because I am selfish and dont feel like changing my team around so early.
 
Hey Jabba, go fuck yourself. Why the FUCK would you join a tournament you did not like the idea of? Are you that much of an attention whore that you join every tournament just to try to get glory? Lots of people like this, so if you do not, you should have fucking left a spot open for someone who would actually enjoy it.
 
sorry i didn't mean offense. i was just pissed off that i lost to a viable strategy with my 5 life orb + focus sash strategy. sowwy :(
 
Jumpluff used worry seed stops that mek hell that was my lead worry seed Pluff so i could at least let my next memento user do its job
