Some teams have multiple Pokemon of the same color. In this tournament, you will be restricted to only have one Pokemon of each color on your team. There can only be one Pink Pokemon on your team, and only one Blue Pokemon, and so on.
    Rules:
    ~ All battles must be played in the ORAS OU tier
    ~ All teams must have Pokemon from only one color

    "~ All teams must have Pokemon from only one color"
    I'm going to assess this as if it's not Monocolour and the first statement is true.

    I tried to build a team with this and I had absolutely no trouble doing so. Good OU Pokémon are spread out rather evenly among colours. Maybe you can't use Thundurus and Gyarados on one team but seriously it's easy to build teams.

    Pink holds Clefable, Diancie, Sylveon, Mew, Slowbro and Chansey.
    White holds Gardevoir, Volcarona and Amoonguss.
    Grey holds Terrakion, Ferrothorn, Skarm, Magnezone and a couple others.
    Purple has Sableye, Gliscor, Gengar.
    Brown holds Heatran, Mamoswine, Landorus.
    The best thing Black has is Chandy/Snorlax.
    Green has Torn-T, Venusaur, Serperior, Celebi and TTar.
    Yellow has Victini, Raikou, Keldeo and Zapdos.
    Blue has a whole bunch of shit.
    Red has Talonflame, Latias, Crawdaunt, Scizor.

    What I'm getting at is every colour has a number of threats to its name, and given that there are 10 colours for 6 team members it becomes extremely easy to just turn out a fairly standard OU team. My list above is extensive but it's not exhaustive in most cases. I felt very little restriction when I tried to think of some teams. It just seems like a pointless restriction to me
    Reject 1/2 I guess.

    I thought it was just a generic Monocolour tour upon first glance because I read this:

    but I'm going to assume that it isn't because of what Weavile just posted.

    But yeah, I concur with what Weavile said. Reject 2/2, sorry.
