Dun Deal Tier 2.4

DDT (Dun Deal Tier) was updated last: 13:48 24-10-2013
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important Information:
The DDT is now it's own tier. DDT will be an adapted version of NU, just like PU, with the major changes being:
- There are a few higher tier Pokemon to play around with, to keep the balance against Fairy-types;
- There are also some XY Pokemon in this tier, which we are obviously still testing to see if they are overpowered
or not. It's all still in the baby steps, so we shall see how the tier turns out!

Though this tier is based on the old NU, we have some higher tier Pokemon in here aswell, such as:
- Abomasnow		- Illegal with the ability Snow Warning
- Cryogonal
- Emboar
- Rotom
- Sharpedo		- Illegal with the ability Speed Boost
- Qwilfish
- Xatu


This tier does not follow the way Smogon does things, as it is based around being a balanced tier, rather then putting Pokemon in a tier based on usage. Some of the Pokemon are a little bit overpowered for their NU brethren to deal with, which is why there are specific bans in place for movepools and/or Abilities. This way, they can still be used and it won't affect the balance of this little metagame too much!

Official movepools have been confirmed! Check Serebii for these, as Pokemon Showdown still has to update the movepools: http://www.serebii.net/xy/centralpokedex.shtml Please let me know on Twitter @DunDealShowdown if there are any more updates on movepools, it's hard to keep track of everything.

People who will take challenges in this tier are mentioned below. They're all great players and sportsmen, and they will make you work for that victory, trust me. These are their Pokemon Showdown usernames:

The tier's relevant clauses are mentioned below. These are pretty much the same clauses Smogon uses:
- Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep
- Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokemon
- Moody Clause: Moody is banned
- OHKO Clause: OHKO moves are banned
- Mega Clause: No Mega Evolutions allowed

I'll try to update this tier list as we figure out what is too good, but until then; enjoy the tier! - Dun Deal

Notifications:

NEW: Hawlucha with the Ability Unburden is now banned. This makes it alot less overpowered, and it can still be fantastic Choice Band user with the Mold Breaker ability, so he's still a very relevant threat.

NEW: Abomasnow, Rotom and Sharpedo have been added to the tier! Sharpedo is illegal with Speed Boost (as is Abomasnow with the ability Snow Warning), but this definitely does not hinder it from still being a massive threat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Banned Pokemon:
- Sawk
- Golurk
- Jynx
- Gorebyss
- Linoone
- Musharna

These Pokemon are just very unoriginal and require little skill to use effectively. Originality is what we strive for in this tier and will continue to!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Banned Moves:
- Thunder Wave/Stun Spore/Glare + Swagger
- Swagger
- Attract
- Assist
- Confuse Ray
- Supersonic
- Teeter Dance
- Sticky Web

These moves are luck-based or overpowered, and should not belong in competitive Pokemon. Therefore, banned!
