Monotype Sample Teams

Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Baton Pass Clause: Baton pass is banned
  • Same Type Clause: Pokémon in a team must share a type, both before and after Mega Evolution
  • Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep
  • Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon
  • OHKO Clause: OHKO moves are banned
  • Moody Clause: Moody is banned
  • Evasion Moves Clause: Evasion moves are banned
  • Endless Battle Clause: Forcing endless battles is banned
  • HP Percentage Mod: HP is shown in percentages
General Tournament Rules:
  • Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  • Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using Fire-type" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  • Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  • Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

I didn't know you took that comment so seriously, I dont think I was particularly rude about it, but I apologize if I was. Either way, I still think that set is absolutely awful, was just trying to help. What you might not know is that I've been saying you are good for quite a few rounds despite you running that set.

Anyways, grats to both of you for making finals to your first seasonals (well I think its the first for both). Especially congratulations to Moorland on winning it and from losers nonetheless.

Here's a "pro tip" for you tho, don't be too cocky about winning. Nobody likes somebody with a bad attitude and talking loud after winning ssnls is just that. No reason to call people out unless they legitimately harassed you with attacks.

Thanks, and it's all love bro.

Chaitanya called out another set of mine in arbiter chat around the semi finals phase, and someone instantly said he'd end up meeting me and losing to me and i'll end up responding with "GG chaitanya, thanks for the pro tips". We laughed about it then and it's just funny that it actually happened. I guess I should have put it in quotation marks so he'd remember.

Yes, I agree that rocky helmet koko is dumb. I used it as a joke but I saw surprising results vs chansey, jirachi and sometimes sciz. Also getting some specific mons in range. Cases where life orb or magnet didn't effect as much. I build my teams different and it worked for me so I kept it. : ]
