These rules will also apply within league battles:
The following clauses (rules) can be placed by any leader at will. These do NOT apply to all battles, unless specified by the individual gym leader. These can also be used in friendly battles.
-Sleep/Freeze Clause
Only one Pokemon may be asleep/frozen at the same time as another. Once one unfreezes, that Pokemon or another may be put back to sleep. Pokemon asleep due to the effects of Rest or Effect Spore do NOT count towards that limit.
-Evasion/OHKO Clause
Sometimes grouped together as "No DT/OHKO". The following moves are banned:
Double Team, Minimize, Fissure, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, Horn Drill
Everything else including Sand Attack and the Sand Veil/Snow Cloak ability are legal.
-Species Clause
Each Pokemon must be of a different species. Different Pokedex number means it's a different species.
-Explosion/Selfdestruct Clause:
Only ONE Pokemon per team can use this.
-Item Clause
By far the most common non-standard rule, item clause states that each Pokemon on the team must be holding a different item from one another. So no double leftovers or focus sash. Items that do the same thing but aren't the same, such as leftovers and black sludge, are allowed.
-h4x Clause
The following items are banned:
Lax Incense, Brightpowder, Razor Fang, King's Rock, Razor Claw, Scope Lens, Quick Claw, Focus Band
-Self-KO Clause
This mostly only applies to tournaments. It's used to break ties. If both players are down to their last Pokemon and one uses a move that kills itself, such as Explosion, Self-Destruct, Destiny Bond, or Memento, the trainer who used that move is considered the loser in the match.
-Tier Clause
Only the following Pokemon may/may not be used:
OU (Over Used), BL (Border Line), UU (Under Used), NU (Never Used)
NDG follows this tier list for categorizing Pokemon into tiers aside from our Uber's list.
[[ex: This would mean that Garchomp and Wobbuffet are considered OU.]]
Examples:
OUs only: Only Over Used.
No OUs: self explanatory.
-All Gym battles will be LVL 100 Single battles.
-You're only allowed to challenge a Gym Leader once a day if you lose.
-Leaders and Elite 4 must have at least 5 pokemon.
-If you face the Elite Four, you must take them on in order without losing or you must battle them again from the start.
-I cannot stress this enough, Gym Leaders should try and be active as much as possible, if not there may be a replacement gym leader waiting to take your spot.
-If a match is broken up because of D/C then a rematch will be scheduled immediately. No one will get a free gym win.
