I agree that you shouldn't use hack pokemon even if they are legit. Obviously they would dominate because they have the best stats within the "safe" realm and it really takes the fun from all the non-cheating players and then the game goes down to who has the best hacked stats. Hope you understand that it spoils the fun from people.

i think hacking to get pokemon is stupid.

Everyone is so excited about this! 6v6 and level 50 all sounds great.

Are the Legendary trio's allowed? They're not normally counted as ubers.
I've nearly got my SS Feraligatr to lvl 50, so I think he'll be in there. Really good stats!
Also, if you see me with a red Gyarados, it's from Sapphire, NOT Soul Silver

i would like a tournament spot to be reserved for me and i like the pokemon card prize idea (i liek cards)

In the über list it said garchomp was not allowed. But in ditto's rough draft he didn't say garchomp was banned. So can I use garchomp or not?

And have they found a date yet?

I'm very surprised. I thought Tyranitar would definetley be on the über list.

Umm. I'm sorry but I'm confused. Are we playing on PBR, or DS???

can you tell me who is on the Uber list please someone 'cause im not sure who and im making the most random weak team that if someone doesent beat me its sad but i want to change that so.......help

I have edited the first post more than once. A link to the current Uber list should be in the first post.

I'm in!

Y'all are goin down!

Of course that's legal! Anything caught through normal means in any official game is allowed. Events are also allowed (like the Pikachu-colored Pichu, evolved into a Raichu) as long as they aren't on the banned list.

Um.... How do you join, this torny?

When sign-ups start, you will know

Probably tomorrow or next Friday. Be patient, there is no race for signing up.

Yes everyone who signs up will be in it.

I cant wait to see who i'll be paired with.

I've only read to page 7 or so.

But as far as the level 50 or level 100 rule goes.

It kind of makes a pretty big difference. If you do level 50, that means you can't use pokemon that would evolve after level 50. Like tyranitar for example. That's what level 50 means.

It's Lv. 50 All. That rule will auto-level your Pokémon, even if they are above 50, to 50. They will retain all moves and their current evolution.

(I'm getting really sick of answering this question.)

platinum too?!

cool

No one said it was a dumb question, we just get this question alot.

are my 2 Tyranitars,jirachi, :charizard: ,moltres, and finally Pikachu

aloud

YA WAI! :V

IMO Jirachi should be an uber but nope. I guess its stats are too well rounded. It has a 100 base for all stats but because its so balanced it is considered OU instead of UBER. Same with Celebi.

PLEASE, YOU CAN'T BEAT THE WOBBSTER! :V
Seriously you can't. hes like guaranteed to get atleast 1 kill unless someone uses toxic. His ability shadow tag make it so the opponent can't switch so you can just thrown him in on someone with a all offensive moveset and counter/Mirror coat them to death. He can lock people into moves as well with encore, and stop himself from getting static ailments with Safegaurd.

Wobbster trumps all! :V

Yeah, Wobbefett is usually one that is never considered to be an uber Pokemon. It's nigh unstoppable due to its ability to repel nearly every attack thrown at it and result in an OHKO.

I have a question about rule 5.

5. You may only use legitimately obtained Pokémon with legitimately obtained moves. (Please be honest on this one.)

Does that mean i can use an action replay or cheats to get pokemon or make them shiny?
Technically if i did that, i could trade it into my other game and it would be legitimately obtained through a trade.

So what about making a pokemon shiny? It keeps everything else the same

No chances, sorry.
If it was hacked into the game that means that who ever made it could have really screwed around with the stats and make the perfect pokemon without any effort. Shiny or not, no hacks pl0x.

And as to detecting if a pokemon is hacked or not, ill be using a damage caculator with my battles to tell if my opponent has made the stats higher then there suppose to be, or if there EVs and IVs are perfect. (The chances are very slim for IVs to be perfect. About as slim as catching a shiny pokemon.)

What if I bred them that way?

Then yea of course~! :3 Ill just be checking to see if anythings out of line~!
...
and I should stop talking like im a Moderator. :l

...... well when did mi oponent contact me this is going to be cool


but now i am telling my hours are limit with skool (27 is friday right??) then the other day are easy (28 and 29 are sat, and sun right???????)but the final exams are sooner ( 30 nov. ) but i am in home with mi precious druged ( potein, iron, etc) CHARIZARD!!!!! and i will trie to win because i am not a non uber pokemon trainer i love all the legendary pok. that exist ( but i dont have them all ) well i wont lose that easy

PS: HOW THE ******* I GET SHINY POK. IN DIAMON PEARL AND PLATINUM THAT ARE LEGAL BECAUSE I HAVE FOUGHT SHINY CHARIZAR, RAYQUAZA, ARCEUS, ADN OTHERS AND HAVE KICK MY **** A 1000 TIMES!!!!!! plase tell me

Shinies have an extremely low chance of appearing in game (just less than 1/8000) unless you chain. But this topic isn't for discussing shinies.

Why isn't Jirachi and Celebi on the über list???

What are EV's and IV's?

Ev's or Effort Values help with stats. For every 4 Ev's, you get plus 1 extra stats. I'm not sure what IV's are? Serebii explains it though.

Will these rules need any changes before the tournament or can we confirm them as the set-in-stone rules?

Well, I did forget to put one thing in, but I realized it too late. It could mess up a spot on someone's team, and that's not very fair to do that this close to the date. Other than that, I think it is pretty set in stone.

No, evasion clause. A little to late though.

Well I am more of an all out offense person and I don't know many people with teams like that so try and see if anyone says something.

My team was set for both those anyway. Don't have a single evasion/1HKO attack on my team (few status inducers, but those are just fun sometimes XP) Like I said before, I can't wait for the turnout on this. We're going to have some epic battles, I just wish I could watch um all, lol!

2 quick questions:
1. Will this take place on Friday? My brother said he wanted to use the Wii then, so I should know in advance...
2. Can we use the Chatbox for discussion during the battle?

It's on [s:3r9teicb]friday[/s:3r9teicb] saturday and sunday

How to we battle the tournament on Wi-Fi?

Does Garchomp have to be Uber?

Yes hes got stats that are too good.

Can we use any pokemon as long as they arn't uber? Like a UU poke'?

Whats a UU pokemon? Ultra uber?

Here are the levels

All the pokemon under uber are banned remember that.

um I guess so check the rules on the first page and read the uber.
