Gym Leaders:
The number of gym leaders is up to
twelve. You can challenge them all, or, only eight of them in order to move on to the elite four.
Each leader will focus on a type, with the exception of one wild-card that has a move of the leader’s type. In the first match you have with them, there will be NO legends allowed on either side. Mega-evolutions are allowed. If you choose to rematch them after earning their badge, they will have a stronger team and be allowed to use one legend of their typing in the battle. This is intended to be a fun and challenging rematch and won't earn any sort of standing or title within the league.
Elite Four:
Any challenger who has gained eight PokeBay League Badges is entitled to challenge the Elite Four.
This will take place just like in the game, with the exception that you may challenge in any order you like. You may NOT switch any pokemon on your team during that time. You may, however, switch items or moves that you have in your bag. If you lose a battle before the run is over (say you win two, then lose the third) you must start the run over again. To win the Elite four, you must win four consecutive battles with them. The Elite Four will also each focus on one type, with the exception of their wild-card. No legends allowed.
Champion:
After defeating every member of the Elite Four consecutively, you are now allowed to move on to the Champion! The Champion will use whatever team they choose so be prepared! If you lose to the champion, you must re-start the Elite Four challenge again. You must also use the same team you challenged the Elite Four with.
Once you’re ready to challenge, just post it in the league thread and set up a time with the champion for the battle! If you win, simply post the results of the battle and the code to the battle video if it was saved.
The Champion will remain in their position until defeated by a challenger, they will then step down and enter the Hall Of Fame (See post below), with the challenger taking their place as Champion.
**Important Note!**
Defeating the champion may not automatically induct you into the league. If you are found to have detestable behavior or questionable teams, you may be prevented from ascending to champion. Instead, your name will be added into the Hall Of Fame and the Champion seat will remain empty.
Normal Battle Rules:
-Pokemon will be automatically leveled to Level fifty before the start of the battle.
-A player's team may NOT contain two Pokémon with the same National Pokédex number. (no teams of Rotom forms)
-You may use any held item or berry found in XY/ORAS.
Flat Battle Rules:
-No duplicate Pokemon or items
-All Pokemon above level fifty will be brought down to level fifty
-All Pokemon below fifty will retain their respective level
-A team of six Pokemon is brought to every battle, but only four are selected during team preview in rotation, doubles, and triples. three for singles.
-All other league rules apply.
-All battles will be fought over WiFi using the PSS on the lower DS screen.
Ineligible Pokemon:
Legends (including Phione)
Hacked pokemon obtained via QR code, powersaves, pokegen, AR or any other means of altering game data from an outside source. Challengers and leaders found to use hacks will be banned from the league.
Ability Restrictions:
All Pokemon abilities (including Hidden Abilities) are allowed as long as they have been released and are correct for that pokemon (No Wonder Guard Spiritomb, etc)
Other Information:
-The League member may choose the format of the battle.
-The use of external devices to alter the Pokémon is prohibited.
-A challenger or League Member must notify
Sierra if they suspect a player of cheating.
-Whether or not to ban a member of the league will be up to the President along with information and input from the rest of the league.
-Anyone banned from the league may
never have any involvement with it again, no matter how far in the future or who is leading it at the time.
-Leaders banned for hacking or cheating will have their badges nullified.
Wild Cards:
Wild Cards are the exception on a team to help give them an extra oomph. It can be any pokemon, excluding legends, as long as it has at least one move matching the leader’s chosen type. Such as a rain dance Bronzong on a water team.
The league may train as many as they like, but only ONE may be present on a league member’s team at a time. Mega-Evolutions will count as wild cards unless they share the gym's typing prior to mega-evolving; such as a a Mega-Ampharos will count as a wild-card on a Dragon team.
Applying to be a Gym Leader
To become a gym leader, all you need to do is contact us (See leaders available for rec battles below!) and have three separate trial battles with different leaders of the league. They will save the battle video and our Rec Committee will look them over to see how you did. A loss doesn't necessarily mean you won’t get it , and a win doesn't mean you will get it.
And being the only one to complete recs for an open position won't guarantee you the spot.
We’re looking for people of good character and attitude. How you interact with others around the site and how you speak and conduct yourself will have a direct impact on if you get the position you are trying for.
~You must be an active member of the site for at least a month~
~Only current and former league members are eligible to apply for Elite Four positions~
Returning to the League
If a league member leaves of their own will, they must wait a total of two months before attempting to return to the league. At that time, they must complete three rec battles with three separate league members. They may also be required to face the champion as a fourth rec, should the champion choose to accept the rec match.
**Side note**
The waiting periods can stack!
Example: A member leaves the league and the site for three months. They will have met their two month waiting period.
But, when they return to the site, they will still have to wait a month to abide by the one-month activity rule.
Members who have been banned from the league are never allowed to return.
