Move Stat Restriction Tournament Round 1

[Andy Snype]

Approved by Earthworm

When building a team, a player must have to decide the 6 pokemon out of the 470+ choices there are. While the choices will often impact how a match turns out, there is also another aspect to battling that also helps define a match: the moves themselves.

There are five stats to a move: its pokemon type, base power, PP, attacking type (Physical/Special/Other), and accuracy. However, what happens when there's a restriction on at least one of these types? The point of this tournament is to see what happens.

Rules:

• Sleep Clause
• Evasion Clause
• OHKO Clause
• Species Clause
• Self-KO Clause -- Applies to Destiny Bond and Explosion/SelfDestruct, Damage Recoil and LO recoil when you're on your last poke and your opponent is on their last, and both pokemon die on the same turn. However, if a pokemon dies to sandstorm/hail/burn/toxic after performing a recoil move or suffering LO recoil and successfully defeats the other pokemon, it will count as a win for the trainer whose pokemon died to the residual damage.
• Timed Battle Clause
• All Ubers are banned
• All rules listed here must be followed.
• Battles may be done on any Shoddy Server or PO Server.

Each round, there will be a restriction on at least one of the following:

• Total Attacking Types (Physical/Special/Other)
• Total Base Power *See Notes for Given Base Powers to Moves who have varying Base Powers
• Total PP (The PP will be counted based on the original PP prior to PP Maxing. PP Max will be allowed during rounds with PP restriction. Example: Surf will count as 15 PP, but in the battle, you may use Surf with 24 PP (result of 3 PP Maxes))

Example(s):

• The total team's moves' base stat total may not be higher than 1000.
  
• No more than two Other moves per Pokemon
  
• The total team's moves' PP total may not be higher than 350.

Round 1 Restriction: Teams must have a Base Power Total between 1200 and 1500

If using Hidden Power with a Base Power that is not 70, you must send the Nature/IV Spread. I will check to see if it is legit using Shoddy Battle.

Brackets will be made using this bracketmaker



Prior to battling, all teams must be sent by forum PM or via IRC to me so that they are approved. If sending via IRC, you must give it in a pastebin link. All battle results MUST be posted in the thread. It is highly recommended that players save logs in case of a dispute.

When sending teams, I will want it in this format.

--None :|

Deadline is Sunday November 28 at 11:59:59 PM EST

 

[Marcurcio]

Does seismic toss count as 100 base power or 0 for team construction?

 

[Andy Snype]

Seismic Toss (and Night Shade as well) will count as a Base 95 move. While I am defining fixed BP moves, Dragon Rage will count as a 30 BP move. Sonicboom will count as 10 BP. This is updated into the OP.

 

[Plusle]

For hidden power could I use base 60 power and it would count as that?

 

[RosebloomNixie]

Looking at the post above me doesn't look like we will have difficulties once we have both made teams.

 

[Precipice]

good luck to all. will contact ala when my team is done.

 

[Ninja-persian]

[Dummy007]

[ssbbm]

Willing to be a sub.

 

[Andy Snype]

Updated those that sent in approved teams and added people to the sub list.

For hidden power could I use base 60 power and it would count as that?

If you do not use Base 70 Hidden Power, you must tell me the IV spread of all pokemon that are going to use Hidden Power that will not be Base 70.

Will sub for food. And it's Night Shade not Night Slash.

The reply had it wrong, but it was correct in the edit to the OP. Edited reply so it says Night Shade.

 

[SOMALIA]

Opponent has contacted me, so getting the battle done should not be an issue, will send in the team today.

 

[Cristal]

Finally I want to sub

beat shartruce 2-0. it was a really close match with well-matched teams. he had the upper hand and would have won, if not for a huge CH that took out a wall that I couldnt break otherwise. GG man
