    Hi, I had an idea for 2 tournaments (But once per 10 days blah blah blah). So I guess I'll go with my favorite idea. The whole premise of this tournament is stat restriction. I found a website that actually works really well at picking random things and I will link it at the end. Basically I use this website to pick a random stat (HP is not included) and every pokemon on that person's team MUST have the chosen stat as their highest stat (Nevermind HP). For example, is the chosen stat is Special Defense then a person could have Blissey and Carbink (If a pokemon has 2 stats the same then both stats can be used), but they cannot have Blissey and Terrakion.

    Rules:
    • You cannot change your stat. I will keep a record of which stat each person has.
    • The moves Psyshock and Secret Sword are forbidden as they calculate using the opponents other defense.
    • Mini legends (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Manaphy, Phione and Victini) are not allowed as they have the same stats spread across.
    The tier will be XY OU/ORAS OU depending on when the tournament takes place.

    Hi, I'm not a huge fan of this idea. It's a simple concept, which is good, but two things I see wrong with it bug me.
    1) Why ignore HP? There's no reason to do that that I can see.
    2) Granted mon with higher SpAtk aren't necessarily restricted to special attacks alone, and same with physical, however some people will just have terrible matchup forced upon them by the tour format. With something like Monotype at least you chose what you wanted to use yourself and weren't forced into it.
    3) You've not shown a capacity to stay unbanned for long enough to host a tournament nor the organisational skills to do so.

    Reject 1/2

    Basically what Weavile said but with extra emphasis on his 3rd point.
