Heatran shouldn't be uber. According to smogon it isn't, and they are like the MLG of pokemon but on a higher level of authority.

It has 600 BST and it's only outstanding stat is SAtk. It is definatly threatening but it shouldn't be uber.

Also mew should be uber imo also on smogon it is too because it is ridiculously versitile and overcentralizes the metagame, and can work with any set.

Darkrai should be uber too. Also overcentralizes the metagame and completly outclasses gengar except in typing. Also with no sleep clause it's ****ing ridiculous rofl.

these rules are stupid, bum; what happened to the ruleset i gave you?

ok first off heatran gets ***** in ubers, he's a legendary and fits fine into OU. 600 BST =/= UBER.

second, mew is ****ing uber. 600 bst doesnt matter when youve got a broken movepool.

third, darkrai is LEGAL? quite possibly the best pokemon in the game hence being named after darkrain is LEGAL? gtfo.

fourth, no sleep clause and DARKRAI IS LEGAL!? this thread is now about flying monkeys.

ps take off item clause nobody likes that ****. also 20 min time limit wth? this is POKEMON, expect stall rounds often nublet id say a 1 hr time limit is more appropriate and btw cut the best of 3 crap we dont need 3 hour sets kthx.

Mew's Versatility is threatening. And I personally feel like it should be banned. I'm going to see what I can do about that. Also, Heatran was a mistake. Thankz for pointing that out. Also, can you please post a link to the Smogon site or Rules directory. Thankz ^_^ and Aziz..

STFU!!!! how can i put sleep and freeze clause on W/O PKMN battle revolution?? When we are given the option to Manually enforce the "clauses." Than that rule will be added. So far, this is still just "In Progress" and nothing is finalized yet.

There is no in game option for SSBM that when the controller is plugged out, it doesnt pause or anything. So does that mean I should legally pull out your controller midgame, since the game itself doesn't enforce it?

Enforce it outside of the game

rules can be enforced OUTSIDE of the game. that's like saying you can't enforce counterpick stages because it requires enforcing rules outside of the game. no crap we can't enforce the clauses because nintendo hasn't caught on with competitive play yet apparently, so just make up your own sleep clause, or..

SLEEP CLAUSE:
-Only 1 Pokemon can be put to sleep. If a sleep-inducing move is used, and a Pokemon is put to sleep, sleep-inducing moves may no longer be used by the same player until that Pokemon is KO'd or cured from sleep.
EDIT: freeze clause CANNOT be enforced because it would destroy the strategies of too many teams, it'd be like if a pokemon is frozen you can't use ice beam or whatever which is too devastating and would render some pokemon useless after an opponent freezes. it doesn't really matter anyway considering the best chance for freeze in the game is like.. 20%?

How about tyranitar he's pretty buffed right now. With a good move pool and over all stats the change they did on sand storm just destroys on him. Auto sandstorm with a 30% defense boost from it he become nuts. Just what i think

1.5 sdef boost you mean.

He still has a EQ weak and a massive fighting weakness, and hera still ***** him. Beat him the same way he was last gen, except he has crunch and a stronger and less accurate rock move with a slight sdef boost.

Also according to many experienced wifi ers who have had the game since it came out in jpn sandstorm teams and ttar are overrated.

Beat him like you would heracross or something.

Ok.. i will update the rules with sleep clause enabled. (with this exception of Rest) as for the freeze clause.. i cannot think of a FAIR way to enforce that until Battle revolution is released

surf is like the only special move you even USED against ttar last gen.. doesnt matter if he got a 1.5x boost lol he's still about as good as he was in RSE.

EDIT: vanz, the game is perfectly fine without freeze clause. it's not nearly as important as enforcing a sleep clause, ffs.

regigigas is like one of the worst pokemon in the game, so why is he uber. heatran shouldnt be uber. mew and darkrai should be uber. tyranitar should atleast be limited. He really good in this game and he gets annoying as hell when someone uses a whole team based around tyranitar and sandstorm.

then change the weather or deal with it.

Sandstorm teams usually have common weaknesses. Like heracross or starmie.

Sandstorm teams are overrated :/

HAHA.. actually, i did know. From when u guyz challenged KF to all the games :D

The setting is still TBA.. but we will be most likely operating out of BUM's house (Lolz..) He'll have ore info when he signs on

Bailey- Ha, i was waiting for this reply. Lolz.. it's cool, but we decided to use this as well because the smash community and the PKMN community are so closely related, we figured we'd target these guyz as well. Besides, i'm pretty sure they'll be some smash involved as well ^_^
