I'm not sure if by GSC battle spot, you mean Crystal Battle Tower, but the idea sounds quite similar. Assuming level 50 for the Battle Tower format, there's not only an item clause, but also an in-built "banlist" on the cartridge (Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh and Celebi can only be used at lv. 70 and higher), as well as the exclusion of Dragonite and Tyranitar for different reasons.Played this tier a few times and I feel that the meta is broken and in a strange place. I think certain uncompetitive items like bright powder and quick claw should be banned but, that would severly lower the amount of items available for usage, so its a tug of war on what option to chose. W/o the ability to use leftovers on multiple mons alot of things become diffifcult to check (mixed sweepers, lax, the electric legends, etc) especially if they are running coverage or hax through their counters. Idk if this tier should take it a step further and turn into GSC battle spot (3v3 with most of the clauses gone, at level 50) or a step back by banning uncompetitive items and mons like aforementioned lax or bright quick claw. Overall I find it to be a fun tier that is in need of major tweaks to its core so it can become balanced and differentiate itself from looking like a broken version of GSC OU
Yeah thats basically what i meant. Idk what the point of banning TTar and Dnite would be but banning Lax+ every aformentioned legend (Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Celebi) seems like it would balance the tier. 3v3 + Item Clause GSC sounds pretty appealing.I'm not sure if by GSC battle spot, you mean Crystal Battle Tower, but the idea sounds quite similar.

In short, 3v3 is certain to be much more efficient as far as less useful items go, but then again, I can imagine it being even more Snorlax-centric than the 6v6 version
Dragonite and Tyranitar are not banned on purpose, they just happen to evolve at level 55, which excludes them from any format played at level 50.Yeah thats basically what i meant.

You should put the replays in the OP. They will be easier to find there for new players trying to break into the tier. Just a tipBeat Up works wonders on Chansey and Blissey. By the way, I invite you to watch the replays of Gen 2 with Item Clause, they´re in this thread, almost at the end of the second page : )
It's right here buddy, maybe you clicked on the last page of this thread and couldn't read the analysis nor watch the replays :/Where's item clause uu ;_;
