Thanks for the guide. I never knew what a hax item was.

you are missing Salamence from the Ubers list.

And are you sure that hax items are suppose to be ban? I thought you were allowed to use them...

I updated Salamence.

Freeze Clause wants some love here

personally I think evasion moves should be aloud, I mean there like strategy, though they can be annoying.

Evasion moves can still be used unfairly. For example, freezing the Pokemon then spam that, then start creaming. Hope that was helpful enoguh.

What are you saying 123?

Yeah true, well it was PC's call and he called it to have no evasion moves, his choice

Actually it wasn't PCs choice. Evasion clause is recognized as a standard clause in competetive battling. If we play other forums it is required.
