Actually, my entire PBR team of Donphan (with Ice Shard), Milotic (with Ice Beam), and Dusknoir just lost to a single DTing Garchomp (No Swords Dance or CB/CS as far as I could tell. All it had was Dragon Claw and Dragon Rush besides Double Team, and it would switch freely between the two) after I wiped the floor with Tyranitar and Weavile with Donphan. After the first Ice Shard (and his first DT), I could never hit him again for the KO, which I could've done if just one more Ice Shard or an Ice Beam hit. I was pretty frustrated when 4 Ice Shards, 3 Ice Beams, and 3 Shadow Sneaks all missed in succession while he killed me after DTing twice (technically 3 with Sandstorm). And that was his last Pokemon too, so it's not like I could've Roared/Whirlwinded him away.I was just wondering the same thing. I know wobbuffet proved to be broken/bad for the metagame, but I didn't see double team/minimize as a huge metagame breaker in any of the matches in the tourney.
Like said, it's basically mute. If we can find that a Pokémon is sharked somehow, then you will be DQ'd. For example, a Cherish Ball on a Bred Pokémon.So this is basically a blanket ban even if the stats are untampered with? Because some people only use AR just to catch the Pokemon from previous generations.

I tried that, it still didn't work. Either there's a button I don't know of to distincively look for the USB Dongle (rather than any general port), or something is up with my connection. Though I would think it would still recognize it if it were my connection, and just fail the connection test.
To teach you that there are item other than leftovers that are usable. Also, people didn't mind it much at all last tournament. Except ET, but he bitches about a lot of things.Is there any reason for the item clause besides "creativity"? Leftovers balances out sandstorm(and to a lesser extent poison/burn/etc.) damage IMO.
And those items are...? I want to be in this tourney as much as any body else, but I need to know other items that could take the place of Leftovers (Besides Black Sludge)To teach you that there are item other than leftovers that are usable.

Do you need to use Leftovers on every Pokémon?And those items are...? I want to be in this tourney as much as any body else, but I need to know other items that could take the place of Leftovers (Besides Black Sludge)
Weren't Brightpowder, Quick Claw, King's Rock, and Scope Lens banned in ADV though? Why let them use it now?Do you need to use Leftovers on every Pokémon?
No. Other items works well, even if they don't recover 1/16th HP.
Edit: Choice Items, Expert Belt, Quick Claw, Scope Lens, Focus Lens, Brightpowder, King's Rock, Lax Incense, Power Boost items (20% now), Life Orb, Type-Resist Berries, Stat Raising Berries, Lum Berry, and I'm sure I forgot something.
