Singles Showdown 2016 - Signups

[KoL]

​

The Singles Showdown is back, with pretty much nothing really different from last year since, well, nothing within the games themselves has really changed since last year either, so I'll basically be copy-pasting the rules and regulations from last year's tournament over.

Standard 6vs6 singles on Pokemon Showdown is the name of the game. The rules will be pretty much the same as last year with some subject to change, although I doubt any actually will. First of all, the link to Pokemon Showdown:

Here's the rules:

A Pokémon may not hold a Leppa Berry and carry Recycle and Pain Split on its moveset.
A Pokémon may not hold a Leppa Berry and carry Recycle and Fling on its moveset.

Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize, in addition to the abilities Sand Veil and Snow Cloak, are not permitted in play.

Moody Clause: Pokémon with the ability Moody are not permitted.

OHKO Clause: A Pokemon may not have the moves Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold in its moveset.

Sleep Clause: Only one Pokémon may be put to sleep on the opposing team at a time, if not induced by a move such as Rest.

You have until March 18th to sign up and prepare. I have a feeling a lot of you will know when this deadline has arrived. This topic is for signups and queries only, anything else will get the poster warned for SPAM. Just like last time also, the format used for this tournament will depend on the number of participants.

You may now begin signing up.

[cloveria1215]

Sigh me up

 

[Shiny Motley]

Are there reasons why Hoopa-Unbound and Kyurem-Black aren't banned? I usually find them rather overpowered but I know they're not banned in the smogon OU meta.

 

[KoL]

They weren't banned last year and I've just copypasted the rules from last year across for this year.

Considering how ban-happy Smogon is though I'd say them still being allowed over there is evidence enough that they really can't be all that bad to keep around.

 

[Psycho Monkey]

I've got nothing better to do with myself then battle you all so I'm in.

 

[CaseyTheEmerald]

I signed up too. I got 7 teams. 3.5 teams from Malaysia and 3.5 teams from Singapore.

 

[KoL]

Less than 1 week left to sign up, if you're thinking of signing up but haven't yet done so you don't have much time left.

 

[Rollui]

I would like to sign up

 

[KoL]

You're in Dino-Power.

24 hours left for anyone else who wants to sign up, so make it fast if you're still thinking about it.
