So, our last tournament for the badge was quite some time ago, and it was based on the monogen tier however it appears we haven't done a holiday based tournament in....i don't know maybe we never even had one so let's make one right now. December has started, the Potm is on it's way and a tournament must be made so let's use this thread to choose the rules of it.
So due to the lack of stability in pokemon ORAS i would suggest we use a tier of XY and have at least one ice pokemon on the team. However i want to hear your suggestions to make this tournament more fun or interesting.

I like the "Use an Ice type pokemon at least" for the tournament but can we bend that rule to "use a pokemon related to Christmas"? For example: Sawsbuck/stantler is almost a reindeer for me and can be related to the holiday/winter/christmas type. I hope it makes sense. other than that the tournament plan seems reasonable. I could make the badge if you want, or make another tournament for it

That sounds like a good idea and could be applied on the sign up format as Christmas pokemon and reason why you feel it's related to the holiday.

Sounds like good old winter wonderland that they had last year. I'd love everybody to have to have a Stanler with metronome and watch the shenanigans go down from there xD. Otherwise I don't think it's fun with ONLY one Pokemon. Maybe that's just me.

Haha, I'd say all ice types and watch the suffering.. but I guess it needs to be fun. .. I already use Weavile.. maybe it should be a winter theme for the whole team? (because one secondary ice type doesn't seem to be 'in the spirit').
or best attempt at hail team wins?

Ice type is the worst type. Game Freak needs to give this a buff. Now that my hate has been expressed. yeah let's play.
Mono ice would be Best IMO. Present spam may take long and is gimmicky. Maybe somehow something That makes hail always on?

Maybe somehow something That makes hail always on? Actually Grass type. Have you seen how many weaknesses it has? And every time you give him another type is even worse. There are some exceptions like Breloom or ferrothorn. Other than that, it stands his ground with leech seed. In my opinion

But Grass has better resistances. Ground, Water, Grass and Electric are all very common. Add in the fact that they are immune to moves like Spore and Leech Seed, and you have a decent defensive typing (Better than Ice, anyways)

There are some exceptions like Breloom or ferrothorn. Other than that, it stands his ground with leech seed. In my opinion Ice is the worst. THing bout grass that makes up for it is that is has more defensive capabilities. Where as ice only has 1(it only resists itself). and shitti-ness overall. Reason why most of all ice types are bellow RU. and just a few in UU and OU. Guess kyurem-W too so 1 in Ubers. Compared to other types its meh. Ice, As offensive coverage for a move it's great(i.e HP ice on many things to check, lando, scops, etc) but as a type for the pokemon it ain't all that amazing. And some? there are allot of good grass types. In every tier. this further proofs my point. sweepercalc.com/stats/ Ice is nowhere to be seen. Until you touch RU. EDIT:Noticed zerocielX also filled you in so yeah. point proven.

It's my favourite type. Yet, they get destroyed with a brave bird/flare blitz/poison jab/icicle crash. Meanwhile you only have wood hammer/seed bomb which are easily blocked by anything

I believe we should make a thread about it. Anywhere else, instead of here in a christmas thread.
