Posting this in /games/ rather than /v/ because it's easier to track this thread and there's a low chance it'll 404.
Anyway, the rules are
Your Team must consist of 6 Non-Uber, Non Legendary Pokemon who share a single type, this means if you choose Water then you can have Water / Dragon and Water / Ground; basically all the pokemon on your team must share a single type and can be multi-types.
These Smogon Clauses are in effect:
Evasion Clause
Moves that boost evasion (i.e. Double Team and Minimize) are not allowed.
Freeze Clause
Two or more Pokémon on a team cannot be frozen at the same time.
Sleep Clause
Two or more Pokémon on a team cannot be asleep at the same time. Self-induce sleep via rest does not activate Sleep Clause.
OHKO Clause
One-Hit KO moves are not allowed.
Species Clause
Two or more of the same Pokémon may not be used on the same team.
Self KO Clause
If both players have only one Pokémon left, moves which KO both the user and the opponent are not allowed (e.g. Explosion, Destiony Bond). If recoil damage would cause a tie, Self KO Clause does not activate, and the player who last attacked is the winner.
Item Clause
All Pokémon on a team must hold different items.
If you want to register, post in the Name field or text your Name, Friend Code, and Type you want to use. Register by the end of this weekend, and if we have enough people then we'll have the tournament in 2-3 weeks.
Let's say I'm a fire giong against grass. This means I cannot use ANY fire-type moves?

Ice is gonna be a generic hail team, ground and rock will be sand. And seriously, mass banning all legendaries is a sign of being inexperienced.
>Item Clause
You are a collosal faggot.

Fissure, horn drill, guillotine and sheer cold are the banned moves, as they instantly ko regardless of stats and typing. They're banned because any random idiot could spam them and possibly win with no skill involved. Eventually every team would be 6 pokemon with ohko moves and every battle would come down do who's faster and luckier.
jesus christ you idiots of course its not one person per type why the fuck we he do that? Thats just fucking stupid and anyone who thought it might have the slightest possible chance of being correct needs to blow their fucking brains out.

Not everyone has access to Pokesav, Event Pokemon, Pal Park, ect.
Do I HAVE to have a full team that share the same type? And can I use ground?

Yeah they all have to share the same type, you can have multi-types.
Yes anyone can use any type, it isn't 1 type per person; hell we could have a tournament where everyone used Fire Types for all I care

No legendaries? What the shit. Most of them are in the uber tier and therefor banned anyways. I see no reason why I shouldn't be allowed to use an Azelf.

If you seriously have any trouble beating a team that consists of tanks only, you just need to give up now.

Most people lose the fear of being childish at some point in their lives. Don't worry, you'll get there.

You're assuming that every pokesaver uses optimized IV's instead of randomly generating them. I personally think that using hidden power is bullshit.
Go ahead, I'd gladly beat you with any superior team. Seriously though, removing legendaries is just shitting it up, and in that case we might as well go with normal nintendo rules.
This is for fun, there are no rewards for winning. If you're going to be a jackass about it then you can leave, there's no need to take this thing seriously.
This is dumb i hate whiny bitches that use cluases becuase they cant deal with them. if u hate what moves a pokemon can know be prepared and have a diverse team then u dont need to play by dumb cluases. u scared of sleep use a lumb berry scared of 1hko moves have a pokemon that knows sturfy or have a focus sash. people who say cluases stop people from being cheap are really cheap themselves by changing defualt rules just for the fact that they dont know how to battle against something.
