The Gym Rules.

Global Gym Rules

- No one is allowed to use Pokemon considered to be "Uber".

- Gym Leaders must use five Pokemon that fit the type of their Gym (5 Ground for a Ground Gym.)

- Gym Leaders are allowed to use one Pokemon outside of their Gym type (5 Ground/1 Dragon for a Ground Gym).

- Outside of those fitting the title of "Uber", all Pokemon are allowed to be used for competition.

- Challengers are only allowed to bring a max of two counters per Gym. Refers to a Pokemon's Type, not their moves (One Electric and Grass type Pokemon for a Water Gym challenge).


Sleep Clause: Two or more Pokémon on a team cannot be asleep at the same time. Self-induce sleep via rest does not activate Sleep Clause.

Freeze Clause: Two or more Pokémon on a team cannot be frozen at the same time.

Evasion Clause: Moves that boost evasion (i.e. Double Team and Minimize) are not allowed.

Species Clause: Two or more of the same Pokémon may not be used on the same team.

Self KO Clause: If both players have only one Pokémon left, moves which KO both the user and the opponent are not allowed (e.g. Explosion, Destiny Bond). If recoil damage would cause a tie, Self KO Clause does not activate, and the player who last attacked is the winner.

OHKO Clause: One-Hit KO moves are not allowed.





Gym Leaders Reserve The Right to Amend These Rules If It Is Deemed To Be "Fair".
