Welcome to Gaia! ::

Uber Clause: The following Pokemon are deemed to be unbalancingly powerful and are not allowed to be used: Arceus, Darkrai, Deoxys, Deoxys-A, Deoxys-D, Dialga,Garchomp, Giratina, Groudon, Ho-oh, Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Lugia, Manaphy, Mew, Mewtwo, Palkia, Rayquaza, Wobbuffet and Wynaut. I thought this had to go without saying but Shaymin is also banned.I made this big so i can get your attention,otherwise,you were gonna skim through this,right?I cannot stress this enough!DO NOT USE ACTION REPLAY POKEMON!!!!I DON'T CARE IF IT'S JUST SHINY OR WHATEVER,i can't tell your pokemon's stats from our battle,but i'll be able to somewhat tell by its ability and the damage done/caused(i.e. if i were to use a shuckle and it gets K.O.'d by a quick attack,you're cheating)

Self KO Clause: Players cannot use moves such as Explosion or Selfdestruct that force a tie. If a move that has recoil damage causes a tie, the user of that move is the loser(It isn't my fault your pokemon aren't prepared for recoil damage).BTW,Perish Song and Destiny Bond are included(all of these moves can still be used, just not to end the game).

Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokemon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokemon.Self-induced sleep is fine.

Freeze Clause:There isn't one!Water types are major users of Ice Beam(so you may see a lot of that),AND also the chances of freezing from any move is so small that it doesn't even deserve a clause.

Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokemon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion.In other words,no Double Team or Minimize.I thought this had to go without saying,but moves that reduce accuracy(won't do you any good,though)are okay.

Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same Pokemon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffings on his or her team. This clause of course does not effect the use of multiple Eeveelutions or any other pokes with optional evolutions.

OHKO Clause: Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KO opposing Pokemon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokemon's move set.It doesn't prove your skill;it just shows that you're cheap when you fight.

Item Clause v2.0: Each Pokemon on a single team must be holding a different item from one another. However, I am allowing an exception of a max of 2 Leftovers and/or like items (ex: 2 Leftovers, or 1 Leftovers and 1 Black Sludge or 2 Black Sludge, etc).

Luck "Hax" Item Clause: In online competitive play, the term "Hax" refers to when something unlucky occurs to you. Most of the time this is that 10% chance to freeze from a Ice beam, or something of that nature and it's just the way the game goes. Although, when it comes to hold items that have small chance of completely turning the game around just out of sheer chance, it's deemed rather frustrating and very similar to the OHKO Clause. For this reason, when this clause is in effect, that means the following items are banned from use: Brightpowder, Quick Claw, Focus Band, Razor Fang and King's Rock.The Critical Hit/Accuracy(as in Wide and Zoom Lens) items are allowed.

i'm not including the trio pokes in the clause.....they are usable.......

i am agreeing...to allow the trio pokes......and the big 5......just no Uber pokemon....it was prety much a waste....i meant to refer to the uber rule.....never mind....NO UBER.

challenges aren't allowed yet.

yes I must agree with Zan.

Um, isn't the point of challengers registering a limited number of pokes for a team for the league the main reason why they can't/don't do that?
