Theme Tournament XIX: Restrictions May Apply!


Kiozo

Recommended Posts

Heyo all! This time around, Kio's bringing you an odd one! The rules are relatively simple:

You must have one Pokemon of each of the following types:

  1. steel
  2. dragon
  3. fighting
  4. poison
  5. psychic
  6. flying

If you have a Pokemon that has two of the types on the list, like Bronzong, that does not count as two types. An appropriate team is listed below;

Aggron [Steel/Rock]

Flygon [Dragon/Ground]

Hitmonchan [fighting]

Arbok [Poison]
Grumpig [Psychic]

Swellow [Normal/Flying]

This team meets the criteria because all types were used on individual Pokemon. The following team does not apply; because the dual type does not cover more than one requirement.

Bronzong [Steel/Psychic]

Dragonite [Dragon/flying]

Alakazam [Psychic]

Skuntank [Dark/Poison]

Politoed [Water]

Ludicolo [Water/Grass]


The clauses are standard for this, and more specific rules can be found here; Tournament Leaderboard and Rules!

Sign-up's begin at 7pm EST, and end at 8 EST. Anyone signing up before this time will not be counted. Questions will be answered.

Swimming will host the tournament, as I'll probably be asleep if anything, knowing my volatile schedule for sleep.

Most importantly, have fun!

Note - the types were actually chosen by a random number generator; all numbers had a shot of being in the selection but the first six were chosen.

To make things easier and quicker for team builders, I'll narrow down the OU/BL/UU tiers to Pokemon that can be used in the tournament. Hopefully this helps people who want to sneak in at the last second.

OverUsed:

Alakazam, Blaziken, Breloom, Conkeldurr, Deoxys-D, Deoxys-S, Dragonite, Espeon, Excadrill, Ferrothorn, Garchomp, Genesect, Gengar, Gliscor, Gyarados, Haxorus, Heatran, Hydreigon, Jirachi, Keldeo, Keldeo-R, Kingdra, Landorus, Landorus-T, Latias, Latios, Lucario, Machamp, Metagross, Mienshao, Reuniclus, Salamence, Scizor, Scrafty, Skarmory, Slowbro, Tentacruel, Terrakion, Thundurus, Thundurus-T, Togekiss, Tornadus-T, Wobbuffet, Zapdos

BorderLine:

Abomasnow, Aerodactyl, Azelf, Bronzong, Celebi, Cresselia, Empoleon, Forretress, Heracross, Infernape, Kyurem, Mandibuzz, Meloetta, Mew, Ninjask, Sigilyph, Slowking, Staraptor, Starmie, Tornadus, Toxicroak, Venusaur, Victini, Virizion, Wynaut, Yanmega

The onus is still on you to make sure you have a Steel Pokemon, a Psychic Pokemon, a Dragon Pokemon, a Fighting Pokemon, a Flying Pokemon, and a Poison Pokemon.

Tips for Teambuilding

- Just because perpetual weather is banned, doesn't mean it won't be there. There will be weather users ahoy, with the presence of common weather abusers such as Kingdra and Excadrill. Plan accordingly; packing a Taunt user is one way to keep the skies in your favor.

- The lack of perpetual weatherspeed opens the path for Scarfed revenge killers to make their presence felt. Use this opportunity to get creative with Pokemon that otherwise don't get too much use, such as Heracross.

- Many special walls such as Chansey are banned in this format, leaving Meloetta as the most specially defensive Pokemon available besides maybe Cresselia. Feel free to invest heavily in this side of the attacking spectrum.
