FRLG (FireRed/LeafGreen) OU​

FRLG OU is a lower tier format where only mons, moves, and items that are obtainable in FireRed/LeafGreen are usable. See the resources for the missing mons and moves. Uses the [Gen 3] OU ruleset, otherwise. Also of note is the Roaming Pokemon IV Glitch, which means Suicune, Raikou, and Entei are all significantly worse.

Banned Mons:

• Mewtwo​
• Wobbuffet​
• Lugia​
• Ho-Oh​
• Wynaut​
• Deoxys-Attack​
• Deoxys-Defense​

Missing Items:

• Choice Band​
• Salac Berry​
• Liechi Bery​
• Petaya Berry​
• White Herb​
• Bright Powder​
• Light Ball​
• Scope Lens​
• Shell Bell​
• Figy Berry​
• Wiki Berry​
• Mago Berry​
• Aguav Berry​
• Ganlon Berry​
• Apicot Berry​
• Lansat Berry​
• Starf Berry​
• Mental Herb​

Really glad to see this panning out! We in the ADV 200 discord have been theorycrafting this for a bit and are kind of surprised to see this out of nowhere, but it's a very good surprise! Hope this leads to a fun metagame.

"FRLG OU is a lower tier format where only mons..."
Just a quick correction: this format is not a lower tier format. Its not related to the ADV tiers, its just a different OU metagame, as its said on the threads title.
Edit: where is aero on threats list?

Lack of Choice Band and Liechi Berry honestly makes me skeptical of Aero's worth, but I could be wrong.

Also Dugtrio crying in the corner bc it can't reliably 1 shot Tyranitar with Banded Earthquake, base 80 even with Adamant hits like a weenie.

Also, no Swampert & Metagross, but there's Magneton to trap Skarmory?! Dios Mio, DD Tar's gonna be the stupidest thing ever.
