LC STABMons
(macle approve)After 3 months, there is now a new LC Minitour on the forum! Similarly to the previous one, it has a twist. For this minitour it's LC STABmons.
Taken from Eevee General's STABmons thread
Main Rule to STABmons (others don't apply to LC)
- Pokémon can use all moves of the same type as their own typing. For example, Eevee is a Normal-type and now gains access to every Normal move along with its usual movepool that it learns via level up, breeding, TMs, HMs, and the move tutors.
- Standard LC banlist
- Sleep, OHKO, Species, Evasion, Moody in effect
- Sketch is banned
- No Gen jumping types (An example would be Togekiss keeping its Normal typing from Gen 5. Since I'm trying to keep things simple, I decided not to allow it.)
- Normal Clause: You can only run one Normal move that you wouldn't normally get. So can (for example) only get ESpeed or Belly Drum
EVERY MATCH IS A BO3, IF YOU HAVE PLAYED YOUR GAME ALREADY PLEASE MAKE IT A SET, I'M SORRY TO DO THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOURNAMENT
The Usual Stuff:
How to participate:
- The LC Mini-Tournaments are run just like an official Smogon tournament. *The first thread/post posted is the sign-ups. *During the sign-ups you post "in".
- All of the Rounds will take place in this thread, so keep your eyes peeled for when the round is over and the next round has started!
- Sign ups will be in multiples of 8, randomized like official tournaments
Identity
I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
Scouting
Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching.*
Timer Clause
As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
Disconnections
Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.
I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

Other things to note about LC Mini-Tournaments:
- All Rounds and tournaments will take place in this thread, so keep your eyes peeled for the start of new rounds and sign-ups.
- Each tournament can and probably will have a quirk dealing with the LC metagame, which can change the ban list
- Because most of these tourneys will have weird quirks, please save your logs and be prepared to take a screenshot of the battle should you suspect your opponent of cheating. *However, I do not want your logs and you don't have to submit your teams to me or whoever is running the mini-tourney.
- Because all of the mini-tourneys will take place in this thread, there won't be more than one tourney running at a time.
- Any of the above rules are subject to change depending on the tourney.
