That is a rule used in the official nintendo tournaments, but since we're using the rules of standard competitive play, we will not be using that rule. You can have the same item on more than one Pokemon.

When deadline

[Rasen_Chidori]

Since it's OU you can have pokemon on your team from lower tiers, correct? So basically, no Ubers.

[Leewannabe]

Im in! ...But I dont have any of the installments you talked about... Should I make an account or just use showdown??

Yes, you can use any pokemon EXCEPT the ones listed
here.
But it's recommended to use the ones listed here here.
I'll assume your submitting.

You can use either simulator. You don't need an account on the website to install Pokemon Online.
If you don't want to make any installations, then just use Showdown.
Does that answer your question.

The deadline for entering the tournament is December 17th.
The deadline for teams will be December 23rd, but if everyone is ready before then, well get started early.
If anyone needs extra time for teams because of Christmas or anything, let me know.

The only thing you need to do beforehand is make your team (on PO or PS)
and post it here or PM it to me.
You'll need to include the moves and ability of each Pokemon, as well as the items, EVs, and nature when you post them.

For example,

Blastoise @ Leftovers <------Pokemon and Item
Trait: Torrent. <-------Ability
EVs: 112 HP / 252 SAtk / 144 Spd <---EVs
Modest Nature (+SAt, -Atk) <------Nature
- Water Gun }
- Hydro Pump }Moves
- Hidden Power [Grass] }
- Body Slam }

You don't need to use this exact format, but you do need to include all that information.

Ah Blaziken. In Gen V Blaziken gained the ability speed boost, making too good for OU, forcing Pokemon battlers to ban it to the Uber Tier. I apologize, but Blaziken will not be allowed this time around.

Please read what I wrote to Leewannabe for how to post your team.

Infernape is a good sub if you need a fire/fighting type on your team and remember stealth rock is dangerous.

[Hozuki]

Can we add to our IV stats?

Thanks for noting that Infernape was a good sub. I completely forgot >.>

Your IVs can each be a max of 31. If you don't have the move hidden power, then keep them all 31.

If you do have hidden power, then change they type to whatever type you want it to be, then don't touch the IVs. They should all be 31 or 30.

You make a good point, and I wanted everyone to have their teams in before Christmas on the 23rd. Once all the teams are in and I wrap up some other things, the battles will take place whenever the 2 opponents and a ref (I'll explain the referee system later) are online at the same time. So basicly the tournament will start soon after all the teams are in and the contestants are ready. Since it'll be a holiday vacation, I don't expect the first round to be over before January 2nd or 3rd.

If anyone doesn't think they'll be able to get their team in by the deadline, then let me know.

While we're on this subject, will any of you guys be away from teh internets during the end of the month?
