    Balanced Hackmons has long been a tier of Ubers, Shedinjas, and Chanseys slapping each other around. The OU meta sucks atm (no offense M-Gross). So I got to thinking. What would happen if we could use OUs, and hack PART of the Pokemon?

    Welcome to Break a Pokemon: OU edition. In this tour, we shake up the OU metagame by allowing Pokemon to use a tool not usually in their kit.

    RULES:
    1. Battles will be played in the Balanced Hackmons tier so the rest of the rules can apply. There may be some situations where the battle must instead be played in Hackmons (i.e. Shedinja with no hack). If that is the case, do so.
    2. Each Pokemon used MUST be allowed in the ORAS OU tier. This includes not having any banned moves, items, or abilities.
    3. Each Pokemon can have 1 hacked change. These include the following:
    • Using 1 move not normally learned by the Pokemon
    • Using an ability that the Pokemon cannot have naturally.
    • Starting in their Mega forme, allowing you to hold an item while Mega Evolved
    4. If a Pokemon begins in it's Mega Evolved form, it counts as your 1 Mega. No other Pokemon can be in their Mega Evolved form. All Pokemon that begin as a Mega are to be classified, for the purposes of this tour, as the higher of their base form or Mega Stone. M-Gengar will not be allowed, as it's Mega Stone is Uber.
    5. Any hacks must be legal with no restrictions in both OU and BH. This means the following (and maybe more, I might have forgotten something) are off limits.
    • Gaining any ability that ends in -ate, Moody, Imposter, Wonder Guard, Huge/Pure Power, Shadow Tag, Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, or Parental Bond.
    • Gaining an unreleased attack (Steam Eruption, Thousand Arrows, or Thousand Waves)
    • Giving Sturdy to a Pokemon with less than 25 HP (Shedinja, lv1 Pokemon, ect.)
    • Getting the moves Assist, Baton Pass, Chatter, Dragon Ascent, or any move that boosts Evasion
    NOTE: If the Pokemon naturally has any of the banned moves or abilities that are not banned in OU, it can still use them. Imposter Ditto is legal, just not Imposter Chansey.

    6. The hacked change cannot be identical to any other hacked change on your team. To clarify, I can change 2 different Pokemon's abilities, as long as they do not change to the same ability. Applies to moves as well. Also worth noting that you can have a Pokemon with a hacked ability and a Pokemon with the same ability (i.e. Contrary Serp and Contrary Altaria), as long as it obtains it through normal gameplay.
    7. Importables of each team must be sent to the host via PM each round. If you don't send me a team for a round after the first, I'll assume your team isn't changing. If your team isn't sent during the first round, I will assume you are using Magikarp/Sunkern/Happiny/Unown-X/Mime Jr./Budew.
    8. The most commonly used Hack in each round will be banned. If everyone changes someone to Contrary in R1, No one can add Contrary the rest of the tournament.
    9. Tour will be Bo1 because no one wants to build 3 teams each round. Finals Bo3 tho.
    10. Standard OU clauses apply. Thats Sleep, Species, Self-KO, Inverted, and Wifi (Team Preview).

    By Rule 8, Hacking Poison Heal onto a Pokemon is now banned. Adaptability and Contrary remain banned from last round. Here are the stats:
    4 uses (banned): Poison Heal
    3 uses: None
    2 uses: Fur Coat, Intimidate, Speed Boost, Unaware
    1 use: Chlorophyll, Close Combat, Draco Meteor, Drought, Focus Blast, Gale Wings, Ice Beam, Magic Guard, Mega Start, Milk Drink

    Matchups:
    @viamage vs @TraceofLife
    @TraceofLife vs @La.Melle2402
    @La.Melle2402 vs @viamage
    Round 1 ends when you finish no johns pls

    Yeah I think finals are bo3, I only won the 1st match so I technically haven't won yet? For the purpose of the final round may we have more than 1 team?

    If you could do Bo3s it would make me happy :) Also if scores could be provided it would help with tiebreakers. And you can have as many teams as your little heart desires, just make sure I know what they are and which matches they are used in
