randomspot555 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Articuno, Mind Reader + Sheer Cold pew pew! OHKO moves are banned in standard play anyway. And really, with Articuno's x4 rock weakness (meaning losing half of it's health due to Stealth rock) it really isn't all that great of a strategy anyway, even if OHKO moves became allowed in standard play. (and Sturdy Magnezone basically is a perfect counter to it) And the above poster is correct. "No legends" is a (stupid) clause usually used under the assumption that legendary Pokemon are inherently special and very powerful. Really, they aren't, and more than a few actually kind of suck. However, I chose to list those alternate clauses because those are POPULAR/common additional clauses. I came up with that list by either: Observation at various Pokemon battling communities Official Nintendo tournament rules Optional clauses in Pokemon games such as PBR I could write a book about every single stupid extra clauses that are out there, but those outlined in the OP are the most common, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Storm Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) ya I know ubers dont consist of just legendary pokes but like you just metioned Celebi and Jirachi are considered legends and I didnt know if the rules say I couldnt use them even though they are OUs Anything below uber is usable, if people get uppy about you using them tell them to stuff it. :grog: Edited April 22, 2009 by Silent Storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencat Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Ubers are Pokemon that are too powerful for the ordinary Competitive Play (Of OUs [lower tiers included]). If someone says "No Ubers", you may still use OU (and lower) Legionaries such as Jirachi, Celebi, and Phione. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomspot555 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Closing+unstickying. Most info is now in the Rules thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencat Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 randomspot, I noticed you've merged this with the Forum Rule thread. I'm going to Re-Sticky this. It needs to be an open topic so people can discuss the thread and the Metagame itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gin Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We don't really need this thread for now as the tiering and whatnot pertains to 4th gen. I'll reopen if we see the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
