THIS IS JUST AN INTEREST THREAD, NOT A SIGNUP THREAD.
This tournament is to test a metagame with Wobbuffet, Deoxys-E and Manaphy. Most of you are accustomed to the idea of Wobbuffet and Deoxys-E on the Shoddy Ladder so this shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, what wasn't tested in that metagame was Manaphy, which I think Smogon and the Pokemon community will benefit from. These three Pokemon have a weird stigma with the community and I think we need more testing in this metagame in order to maybe lift that taboo or at least test this theory.
I dunno if you guys want to do Teams or just do Single Elimination from the get go. It seems that team tournaments take a little longer to start so I think that the single elimination does best.
one rule that I'm debating is that everyone that plays must at least pick from one Wobbuffet, Deoxys-E or Manaphy. I dont care if you have all three or not but since this a tournament in order to test these three pokemon in the current metagame I think this is fair. Ill leave it up to discussion to the rest of you guys.
The rules are pretty simple:
- Battles MUST be played on Shoddy Battle.
- Self-KO Clause - You cannot use moves like Explosion or Destiny Bond on your last Pokémon if it will force a tie.
- Sleep Clause - You can only put to sleep one Pokémon on an opponent's side at any time. If you use Spore to put one Pokémon asleep, you cannot use it again to put another Pokémon asleep until the first one wakes up.
- Freeze Clause - If at anytime two different Pokémon are frozen on a player's field, then the player that froze the two Pokémon loses.
- Evasion Ban - Moves that specifically increase evasion are banned. Double Team is an example of a banned move.
- OHKO Ban - Moves that have a chance of OHKOing a Pokémon are banned. An example is Sheer Cold
- No scouting. Period. I don't care if you watch other battles done by the other participants but I don't want to hear that so-and-so is stalking their opponent. Not happening.
- Battle Time Out MUST be on.
if I missed anything.. let me know. And for those for who aren't aware I talked with G80 about it and he already OKed this.
