No Rocks: Gen 4 OU With a Twist
Approved by Alaka

The days of Generation 4 are coming to a close in the world of competitive Pokemon. I thought it would be fun to see what the metagame would be like without the most overused move in all of Gen 4.
​

Round 1
​

Rules

Matches will be 6v6 lvl 100 single battles

Single Elimination

Team changes are allowed between rounds

No gen 5 pokemon, moves, items, or abilities

No Hacks - Not even legit hacks.

No Ubers

*No Stealth Rocks* - That's right! Get creative and re-run your calcs because the move Stealth Rock is banned! All other entry hazards are allowed.

Sleep Clause - You may only put one of your opponent's pokemon to sleep at a time. If your opponent uses Rest or if Effect Spore causes sleep, that does not count.

Managed to defeat Gabe in a very hectic fun filled game. Very close, and it was enjoyable. Kept me on my toes.

 

[Gabe]

[~Golden Emp]

Waiting for monday =)

 

[drcossack]

Beat Alphabet in a game with a lot of endgame switching.

 

[Alphabet123]

Confirming loss, and endgame stall switching is nooby >.> If only if only, Ifs are just ifs... Good Game, could have gone either way.

 

[dragonboy52]

Defeated LL in a GG.

 

[-LL-]

teah he won but it was not a GG

 

[muffinhead]

bharmalm and I to play tomorrow. ^_^ just got my pokes EVd

edit: so we're in really weird time zones, and even though we just now tried to battle, wifi DCed us.
Bharmalm has exams this week, is it possible to ask for an extension?

 

[ZaChAttAcK101]

VM'd Upperdecker in Response to their VM to request that our battle will take place on Wednesday or Thursday. =]

 

[Supe]

Just three more days to get your battles done people! If anyone hasn't heard from their opponent yet, let me know. Everyone should have at least attempted to communicate by now.

Try to get it done by Friday. I'll follow up with you guys later this week to see how it's coming along.

 

[Ryner]

If I don't battle macle by end of the day, Zari can take my place.

P.S. I luvdisc'd the thread lol

 

[UPPERDECKER]

I beat ZaChAttAcK101, GG!

 

[ZaChAttAcK101]

Confirming the above post.

 

[~Golden Emp]

I'm sorry for not being able to do my match on time, but just agreed on battling on saturday ...

 

[Supe]

I've had two requests for extensions and only half of the matches are done. I've lurked enough to notice that at least everyone is attempting to communicate with their opponent. So...I would like to see some activity posts from people that haven't posted by tomorrow before I decide about extensions. If it looks like you guys are actually trying to get your battles done, I might think about extending round 1 through the weekend. If not, we'll have to figure something else out.

Once again, Click Here for an excellent thread explaining how to go about scheduling your battles.

 

[Unreality]

Activity post :O

 

[Supe]

Okay, I have decided to extend round 1 until the end of the day on Sunday the 13th. PMs have been sent out to everyone that has not completed their match. I've already heard back from most of you. Please reply if you haven't yet or I will assign wins based on activity or coin flips.

 

[~Golden Emp]

VM'd Loukas right now, because he's online. I hope he VM's back ...

EDIT: Well, around 20 minutes have passed since I got online today, I VM'd him twice, and he didn't answer. Something urgent came up and I have to go, sorry.

 

[Loukas]

I was not online....anyway golden emp can pass to the next around because clearly he doesn't know the meaning of arranging time...and because i am fed up he can go to the next round

Yea, I got messages from both of you. ~GoldenEmp advances then.

I will be posting round two as soon as I see the results from the last two matches.
