Here are the rules for the tourney!! (Because we suddenly just realised that we hadn't put them up)
Versions:All version for the DS are allowed. Which means all
official versions of Pearl, Diamond, Platinum, Heart Gold and Soul Silver is accepted.
Overused Tier:This means that any Pokemon considered an Uber as of the date of the tournament are banned, no exceptions. For a list of current tiers, click
here. Remember to keep checking them!
Sleep Clause:Only one Pokemon can be given the Sleep status via Sleep Powder/Grasswhistle/Yawn/Hypnosis/Sing/etc. This does not include self induced sleep through Rest (i.e. you can still use a sleeping move even if 2 of your opponent's Pokemon are asleep as a result of them Resting).
Item Clause:Only one type of every item is permitted (ie no 2 Leftovers, no 4 Choice Bands, etc.)
Species Clause:Maximum of one type of any Pokemon per team at most. You don't want to see a team made fully of rampaging Salamences, right?
OHKO & Evasion Ban:Moves that either one-hit-knock-out or increases evasion are banned, such as Fissure, Sheer Cold, Double Team and Minimize.
Having had said that, moves that lower or raise accuracy are accepted. Accupressure is also acceptable (Seriously, if someone wins this tournament with a Shuckle...).
Level 50 Cap:Level 50 cap.
Details of how the tourney itself will run (ie/ location, date, time, schedule for the day) will come soon, so keep your eyes open!
