I agree, best 2 of 3 would increase the strategy bit, since a battle could be over by the luck of the pokemon pickedIf you want this to be a viable tournament format, I'd suggest making rounds best 2 out of 3 or 3 of 5 something, because single elimination just seems to minimize skill differentiation and maximize the presence of hax and counter-teaming.
The key issue with expanding the matches is that unless each competitor has a different Pokemon for each battle in a round, you lose out on the surprise factor involved in battle 1. Surprise factor and gimmicks are that much more important with only one Pokemon per side and no switching.If you want this to be a viable tournament format, I'd suggest making rounds best 2 out of 3 or 3 of 5 something, because single elimination just seems to minimize skill differentiation and maximize the presence of hax and counter-teaming.
What exactly makes this Crobat british? It isn't at all like British Gliscor.Set Name: British Crobat
Why Swift Swim though? You are never going to get rain, unless you are up against a Kyogre. Might as well make it Sniper for the hell of it.Kingdra (M) @ Haban Berry
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 120 HP/136 Atk/232 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Outrage
- Waterfall
- Dragon Dance
- Yawn
I threw a random EV spread together but this should create a stir. Haban Berry protects you against the dragons so you can just Outrage them. Kingdra is incredibly difficult to KO with some HP investment if you arent using Dragon moves, so you should be able to Yawn on shit that can't kill you fast enough. Ehh the whole metagame seems like a hit or miss tho
I'm under the impression that "British" Gliscor is Stallbreaker Gliscor. It's a bit confusing to me, since Smogon's analysis page isn't hip to the lingo. Obviously, neither am I. But this Crobat is quite similar to Stallbreaker Gliscor, featuring a fast Taunt, bulky defenses, Roost, and one attack move. I've simply exchanged Toxic for Confuse Ray, considering the circumstances. I chose the name as less because it fit perfectly, and more because I needed a name.What exactly makes this Crobat british?

Honestly, I think it is completely unfair to use a ban list designed for a 6v6 metagame for a completely different one. I honestly don't see how you can play with the assumption that all of the Ubers in 6v6 are broken in 1v1, like Mew.Some things to think about
Unbanning Deoxys-S - One of the main thing that got Deoxy-S banned was it's ability to set up Entry Hazards. With Entry Hazards being useless, Deoxys-S should be considered to be allowed. Although it does still have a good movepool and stats.
Unbanning Wobbuffet or Wynaut - Wobbuffet loses one of his main functions without being able to help other pokemon set up. With his lackluster speed, Wobbuffet can easily be hit with status or Taunt. Despite this, Encore + CounterCoat + Massive HP still looks pretty threatening.
Unbanning Garchomp - Without the ability to have sand up automatically, Garchomp does lose some of it's usefulness with Sand Veil. However, his attack and speed are still something to fear.
Unbanning Focus Sash - While it does seem very powerful, there has an appeal for Focus Sash to be unbanned. With things like Sandstorm, Hail, and Fake Out being able to easily break it and counter the pokemon. Still it does seem like it may too powerful in concept.
I think it may be a good idea to get people to test out if Mew, Manaphy, and Deoxys-D are banworthy in a 1v1 environment (along with the ones that are currently being thought about like Deoxys-S, Garchomp, Wobbuffet, and Wynaut).Uber Clause: Players cannot use Arceus, Darkrai, Deoxys, Deoxys-A, Deoxys-D, Deoxys-S Dialga, Garchomp, Giratina, Giratina-O, Groudon, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Lugia, Manaphy, Mew, Mewtwo, Palkia, Rayquaza, Shaymin-S, Wobbuffet, Wynaut.
