Tournament Ideas.

•Species Clause: You may not have more than one of the same exact Pokémon on your team. This does not mean that using a team of all dragon/ground will be permitted against something like an Electric team. DON'T BE CHEAP and use doubles of each type if you can avoid it.

•Sleep Clause: No two Pokémon on either team may be put to sleep by their opponent at the same time. This does not include self-induced sleep techniques such as rest.

•Self KO Clause: If both players are on their last Pokémon, and one player performs a Self KO technique such as Self-Destruct or Explosion, and both players' Pokémon faint as a result, the player that initiated the move will be the loser of the battle. This does not include techniques or items that produce recoil.

•Evasion Clause: Any moves that increase your Pokémon’s evasion skills are banned from use. This is due to the simple reason that it brings the battles to a gamble, a luck draw, if you will.

•One Hit KO Clause: Any techniques that produce a One Hit KO on the opponent are banned from use. No horn drill, sheer cold, or fissure.

1) Organize your battle worthy (EV'd, IV bred) pokes into a box or consecutive boxes. Then total up how many you have and say that number to your opponent.

2) You and your opponent will then call out six random numbers between one and however many pokemon they said they have. (1-??) It is nice if you have at least 25-30 pokes to use so you get some variation.

3) The pokemon you will use in the battle, will be based off of the numbers your opponent randomly chooses. You MUST use the pokemon your opponent selects in that order.
ex) If your opponent calls the number four out then you would go to your first box and count four pokemon over from
the top left of the box. Always start with the top left of the box and count left to right.

4) Get those pokemon together in the correct order, note that you can use any item on the pokes, those are not restricted.

5) Battle Rules will be the standard forum rules/clauses. The only exception is species clause will be off.

he rules that our gym leaders and elite four play with, it's basicly the same as a standard battle, same clauses, just that your team must consist pokemon of the same type, like if you chose fire type you could make Houndoom, Infernape, Heatran, Magmotar, Charizard, and Macargo or something like that, if both players agree you can add in a filler or a wild card poke, witch is any poke not of the type, like replacing Electivire for Infernape to the fire team, you can use as many fillers as you both choose

yet again, whatever of the standard clauses you put on, except your team must be all of one particular color, like if i made a blue team i could use Vaporeon, Salamace, Swellow, Toxicroak, Garchomp(eh...i'll add an uber here, lol) and Shiny Porygon-Z, most people play it by eye and as little as 1/3 of the poke should be the color, like adding Swellow or Ryperior to a red team, or you can play with the pokedex colors in the link below, if you need one or two you can add a filler or a wild card who isn't of the color

if i recall Slowfreak either invented this or first showed it to me, it's a spin off of the mono-color battle, basicly you both lead with a red pokemon, then you need an orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple pokemon, because the pokedex colors don't include orange, you can either switch orange with brown or play the pokes colors by eye

1) All of the standard clauses, including no Ubers
2) No legends
3) Only one "titan", which is the following: Gyarados, Metagross, Tyranitar, Slaking, Salamence, Scizor and Dragonite

both players agree on the clauses and what not, the difference here is that all six of your pokemon must of the same tier(uber, OU, BL, UU, NU, or NFE), tier list is in the link below, so like an Uber team could be Kyogre, Deoxys, Manaphy, Garchomp, Wobafeet, and Palkia, or something like that
