Doubles UU (No Zard X) Bo3 Single Elimination Tournament (Won by Memoric)


I know this is an outdated and defiled banner so if anyone wants to be a dear and make some spanking-new art I'd gladly update it (and give you creds).
DPL is coming to a close, and with DPL came the revival and spark of general interest in the beautiful yet under-appreciated metagame that is Doubles UU.

This Tournament hereby serves as the beginning of a slow and steady growth to make Doubles UU a fully fledged metagame. The success of the metagame and future endeavors of Doubles UU highly depends on the size and outcome of this tournament.

*This is not official Doubles UU, since while Charizard-Mega X is currently allowed on the ladder, we have banned it in this tournament, as almost anyone who plays DUU regularly can tell you how broken Zard X is.
Volcarona was almost banned in this tournament as well, but we have decided to keep it unbanned, as there are a few people who do not deem it necessarily too strong for the meta. This tour also will help us judge whether or not Volcarona should be banned for future events.

SPECIFIC RULES

  • This is a custom ORAS Doubles UU tournament, as Charizard-Mega X is banned
  • This tournament will be Single Elimination
  • All rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown! under the metagame Doubles UU, but any player that brings Zard X will automatically lose the match.
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts replays of the match, both players will be out of the bracket.
  • Activity calls will be made by me with probably the neutral assistance from a TD, flips will be made on PS!
  • In the event that something is added to or removed from the Doubles UU metagame in the middle of a round, that change will be in effect starting the next round.
  • Each round lasts a week. Extensions given for extenuating circumstances can be extended to the following Wednesday.
Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
  • Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned. (No other evasion boosting things are banned).
  • OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
  • Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
  • HypnoGravity Clause: The move Gravity is banned with all moves that can induce Sleep. I am not 100% sure if this is fully implemented on Pokemon Showdown!, so if it is not and you are found to be using it you will be disqualified and banned from future Circuit events.
