What do you want to be explained?

  • Tiers
  • Clauses
  • Cancel

Tiers:
Tiers exist to promote balanced gameplay.
OU stands for OverUsed and is the main metagame. It is the balanced tier that bans as few #MON as possible. In this game that means you can't use Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia and Ho-Oh. These #MON are seen as too strong and if they're allowed they would lead to an unbalanced metagame.

Clauses:
Clauses are several rules that serve to stop some over-powerful strategies and to reduce the role of luck in a match, so that the game is more enjoyable. We are still trying to enforce this rules automatically, so you can't cheat that easy.

  • Evasion Clause
    • Moves that boost evasion (i.e. Double Team and Minimize) are not allowed.
  • Freeze Clause
    • Two or more Pokemon on a team cannot be frozen at the same time.
  • Sleep Clause
    • Two or more Pokemon on a team cannot be asleep at the same time. Self-induce sleep via Rest does not activate Sleep Clause.
  • OHKO Clause
    • One-Hit KO moves are not allowed.
  • Species Clause
    • Two or more of the same Pokemon may not be used on the same team.
  • Self KO Clause
    • If both players have only one Pokemon left, moves which KO both the user and the opponent are not allowed (e.g. Explosion, Destiny Bond). If recoil damage would cause a tie, Self KO Clause does not activate, and the player who last attacked is the winner.
  • Item Clause
    • All Pokemon on a team must hold different items. This is not a standard clause in competitive play, but it is used in Nintendo tournaments.
