Welcome to the first tournament of the 2018 Ubers Tournament Circuit, the third edition of the Ubers Winter Seasonal! This seasonal, like other tournaments that compose this year's circuit, will award points towards a general Ubers leaderboard which will ultimately award the 2018 Ubers Ribbon (if you have any doubts over the ribbon system, check out this thread)!
SPECIFIC RULES
- This is a standard USM Ubers tournament
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!, preferably on the smogtours server.
- This tournament will be Double Elimination.
- All rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
- To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts or at least saves replays of the match, both players will suffer an automatic game loss. (If you were in losers' when you played, you are both out. If you were in winners', the winner is in losers' and the loser is out.) There may be some exceptions to this rule.
- Every round, I may choose several games as the Highlight Matches.
- Any eventual tier changes will only take effect in the following round.
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
- Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned. (No other evasion boosting things are banned).
- OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
- Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
- Moody Clause
- Sleep Clause
- SleepTrap Clause: A Pokemon cannot use a move that can inflict sleep status on the opponent if it has the ability Shadow Tag.
- Rayquaza is not permitted to Mega Evolve.
- The move Baton Pass is banned.
You are expected to know and follow all general tournament rules.
