This is a weird meta which not a lot of people have played in so to encourage participarpation the winner will get 1000 reborn RUPEES!

Unlike other tours, uber pokemon are allowed but not advised since they usually live long. The only banned pokemons are the ones listed above.

There will also be these rules

The rules are as follows

Freeze Clause

Sleep Clause

OHKO Clause

Self KO Clause

Evasion Clause

Species Clause

Disallow spectators [till finals]

I hope to see you all

If you have any questions before hand feel free to contact me via server or make a post.

This tour will also be hosted Saturday just like the last tour (4/12/14)

Signups at 7:00 PM and actual tournament @ 8:00 PM Eastern time zones.

yea i glad you like :]

so for people who are like wtf is this meta and how to play

there are some replays available to get used to it

http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-15124762

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/joimslab-suicidecup-3890

remember everyone needs to have at lest 1 attacking move and they cannot be the banned moves as mentioned.

there are many ways to make your pokemon die faster and to prevent your opponents pokemon from dying.

some examples of killing your pokemon would be to give it items such as black sludge on a non poison poke or spamming substitute to make your health fall quicker or maybe even giving your pokemon a burn orb or toxic orb.

Some ways to stop your opponents from killing themselves is by taunting them so they can't keep spamming sub or belly drum or curse and tricking your opponents items like leftovers so you can steal their damaging items while giving them residual recovery.

so many ways to go with this! ik it is kinda weird at first to do but it will be fun!

[FraRPetO]

It sounds fun, I'll join if I'm home around that time why not

[Fezzdog]

Perish-Roar is stronk. I can see whole teams full of Prankster in this tier. Prankster T-wave stops so much from dying to Toxic Orb.

[Ben]

Is Unkown legal?

and if not why?

why not

[Fezzdog]

Is Unkown legal?

and if not why?

why not

-Each Pokemon must have 4 moves with at least one damaging move.

Unown only has 1 learnable move. Ditto I'm actually not quite sure about.

Before things get out of hand, is there a rule against baby/non-evolved pokemon?

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

Going to try to be there lol, and hopefully the posts for Graterras are slow trickling in day 1 that way I don't get caught up in replying and forget. lol

[Fezzdog]

No, pre-evos are completely fine as long as you're not running the Abra line.

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

What is the Abra line banned for by the way? Just curious lol.

[Shamitako]

Skill Swap Magic Guard, as I recall

And woot, Suicide Cup! I think I'll have time to be there, hopefully I'll be home by then

I'm trying to decide if I want to change my team or just run it as it is

EDIT: And reworks. Hopefully they are improvements

It has a monstrous movepool and godlike speed for Taunt, Encore, Magic Coat, Magic Guard Skill Swap and generally other smelly things.

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

AH, I see lol, makes sense.

[Notus]

I'll try to be there!

[Notus]

Question: with Self KO clause on, does that mean Perish Song can't be used too?

[FraRPetO]

Joining :feelsgn:

[Kamina]

Question: with Self KO clause on, does that mean Perish Song can't be used too?

perish song can be used xd the clause just means that if you kill yourself while killing the opponent and neither of you have Pokemon left remaining than the person who used the last move loses just so there is no tie's and stuff.

Also if you are looking to join the tourney go to channel Themetour XXXI.

[Notus]
