The "Clan" – Organization Thread v5
Latest News: Thread Re-Launched
[a id]intro[/a id]Introduction to The "Clan" v5
Basically, The Clan was literally, "The Clan" back in the day. I've been a member of it since my early D/P days, and am extremely excited to see clans allowed back here at PC. Great decision. This is a 5th Gen PO clan.

[a id]join[/a id]How to Join
In order to join, you need to show that you have skill in pokemon battling and can act maturely. Contact one of the Clan Leaders in the list below and ask to be admitted. You will then battle under conditions set by that person. If your battle sufficiently proves your skill or if you have previously demonstrated your skill to the tester in other battles, then you will be admitted. Admittance is not necessarily determined by your victory.
If you have any questions on what kinds of things you can do to show your skill, talk to any clan member, but especially talk to Recruiters or the Leader. If the person who is testing you does not give any battle conditions, assume the standard clan clauses are in effect. You can find them in this section.
Contact list - Ooka
Please only contact these people if you have questions. If you are looking for a test battle please just post in this thread.

Clauses
Battles often involve player-enforced clauses which seek to balance the game to be more fair. Here they are for your reference.
All clan battles use the following clauses by default - Sleep, Evasion, OHKO, Species, Uber, Shadow Tag, Landorus(due to PC server glitch), Drizzle+Swift Swim Team Combo, and Inconsistent.
Pokemon Sites and Tools
Here are some resources for the aspiring pokmon master. Please note that neither Pokemon Community forum staff nor myself can vouch for the accuracy or content of material presented on these other sites. This is the internet of course, but just thought I would give you a reminder.
Battles often involve player-enforced clauses which seek to balance the game to be more fair. Here they are for your reference.
Sleep
You may not put more than one of your opponent's pokemon to sleep at a time unless it was by an event you had no control over (e.g. The ability Effect Spore when one of your opponent's pokemon is already asleep via your actions.) or unless your only other option in the battle is to concede (e.g. You are down to your last pokemon, which uses Hypnosis. You miss, and on the next turn your opponent uses Encore).
Evasion
You may not use a move which raises your evasion unless it was by an event you had no control over. (e.g. Raising evasion via Acupressure is allowed because the stat increase is random.) You may use a held item that raises evasion provided that is not restricted by some other clause.
OHKO Move
No moves which faint the opponent in one hit may be used unless it was by an event you had no control over (e.g. Metronome). For reference, these moves are Horn Drill, Guillotine, Fissure, and Sheer Cold.
Species
No more than one pokemon of each species is allowed.
Explosion
If a player causes a Draw through the use of Explosion, Self Destruct, or Destiny Bond, that player loses the game instead.
Item
No more than one of any item may be used. Items with duplicate effects but different names are allowed (e.g. Black Sludge and Leftovers).
'Hax' Item
No Quick Claw, King's Rock, Bright Powder, or Lax Incense. Some consider these items to be too disruptive by adding an additional luck factor into the game.
Uber
No pokemon in the 'Uber' tier are allowed. Uber tier pokemon are considered to be too powerful for the OU metagame.
The Uber tier consists of the following pokemon:
Arceus, Darkrai, Deoxys N, Deoxys A, , Dialga, Genosect, Giratina, Giratina Origin, Groudon, Ho-oh, Kerudio, Kyogre, Lugia, Manaphy, Meloetta, Mewtwo, Palkia, Rayquaza, Reshiram, Shaymin S, Zekrom, Reshiram
