Pokemon Showdown Type Tournament

[Manuel]

To be clear, your team must be legal on the OU ladder. The specific restrictions can be found here, but it's a good idea to try playing a practice game on the OU ladder to check that your team is legal.

I noticed that Hoopa-Unbound is currently a "suspect," meaning it is currently not allowed on the ladder. It will be allowed for this tournament unless it is made uber.

yep, hoopa unbound is suspected

but the normal form can be used:

also 2 hours ago durant was banned from RU, so it costs 1 point if u wanna use it

* MeowMeowCat stalls his matches until Hoopa-U is Ubers

Joking, of course.

Damn it, I missed the fact that bidding was underway, what type am I?

Looks like you're ghost

to be fair, Ghost @ 12 points is decent as hell. Same with Earth

Are borderline pokemon considered the class above or the class below?

above, or at least is like this in any pokemon tournament

BL4 are banned from PU
BL3 are banned from NU
BL2 are banned from RU
BL1 are banned from UU

BL means that x pokemon is banned from that tier, but it doesn't have an usage superior to 7%/month to be in the above tier.

BL Pokemon count for 2 points, same as OU. BL2, BL3, etc. can be used without restriction.

It occurred to me that I never resolved the issue of mega evolutions, and how they can change typing. Better late than never, I suppose.

A Pokemon with a Mega Evolution item is considered in-type if it's regular OR mega evolution is in-type.

I've decided on this ruling because it will not result in anyone's team being retroactively made illegal.
