Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just finding your way in the world of battling, we welcome you!

---------------
Format: Single Battle, Normal Rules, 6 versus 6

- Pokémon above OU are banned (The latest XY tiers can be found here: XY Tiers - Smogon University)

- Sleep Clause (Two or more Pokémon on a team cannot be asleep at the same time. Self-induced sleep via Rest does not count.)

- Banned abilities: Moody
- Banned moves: Swagger
- Baton Pass Limit: The move Baton Pass cannot be found on more than 1 Pokémon on the same team.
Substitutes:
We're working on balancing things through the seasons regarding substitutes: while we want to allow substitutes to help challengers on a match we also discourage counter-teaming to place more emphasis on improving teambuilding and strategy. Last season we allowed challengers up to three substitutes of their choosing and found that it was a bit much, we'll be limiting that this season but at the same time adding an instructional component so that gym leaders aren't just there to award badges but also offer their advice and expertise.
This season challengers are allowed to bring one(1) substitute Pokémon of their choosing that they can swap out any time during their challenge. Added onto this, challengers can ask gym leaders for advice on their teams and can make up to three(3) replacements based on a gym leader's recommendation.
Examples of such replacements would be:
- Adding a new Pokémon to the team
- Changing a Pokémon's moveset/item/nature/EV spread
- Replacing your substitute Pokémon
Feel free to approach any gym leader for help but it's suggested to ask someone who's battled your team. If you choose to make a replacement keep in mind that it cannot be simply reversed so take the time to ask the gym leader about their advice to learn more about how it works into your team. Once you choose to make a replacement please notify the gym leader so that we can update your lineup accordingly.
League:
- A challenger will challenge the league using a team of 6 Pokémon and is allowed one(1) substitution.
- You are free to change your team as often as you want, given that you have not won any badges.
- Upon winning your first badge, your lineup cannot be changed. This includes changing natures, Abilities, items, moves, EVs/IVs, etc. on any member of your team. While a substitute is not mandatory, once you have used a substitute Pokémon you may not change any of its attributes.
- Challengers may fight against the gym leaders in any order.
- Gym leaders may change their lineup without prior notice.
- If a challenger loses, they may not request a rematch with that gym leader until 24 hours have passed.
Elite Four:
- After obtaining at least 8 badges you will be able to challenge the Elite 4.
- To complete the season you will need to win against all members of the Elite 4 undefeated.
- Like in the games, use a team of 6 out of your lineup in an attempt to defeat all members of the Elite 4.
- You may not change your lineup in the middle of your challenge (if you have any current E4 victories).
- Losses against any member of the Elite 4 will cause your E4 progress to be reset, requiring you to challenge all 4 members again.
- At the beginning of the challenge or following a reset of your progress, you can change your team within your lineup that was used to get to the Elite 4.
Battles:
- Any battle between a challenger and gym leader is recognized as an official gym battle.
- Send notifications to gym leaders before challenging them to a battle. No random battle requests.
- Any disruption of a battle will award the victory to the gym leader. Any persistent issues with disconnection may be brought up with the BBL.
- A disconnected match will count as a battle and rematches will follow the same mechanic as above.
- Be courteous and respectful to your opponent.
*We're all here to have fun and learn more about battling so we trust that you'll abide by the rules. We will be keeping track of challengers' lineups to ensure fair play but gym leaders will not be using this to scout challengers. Any concerns/issues may be brought up with the BBL.
