GYMS are now OPEN
How It Works:- Each gym leader has his/her own sticky post in this forum. Challenge a gym by replying to the gym leader's thread.
- After a defeat or victory, a gym leader will update a his/her challengers or winners list.
- Victors are awarded their badge 1-3 days after defeating a gym leader
- Your badges show up under your avatar
- If defeated by a gym, you must wait at least 3 days to challenge that leader again for a badge
- Some Pokemon are not allowed in the PokeGym Challenge: More Info Here
To Become A Gym Leader:
All Gym leader positions listed here
- You must defeat the current gym leader 2/3 battles using the appropriate monotype team. (E.g: to become the fighting gym leader, you must defeat the current gym leader, two out of three times, using fighting Pokemon.)
- You are not permitted to switch or edit your team between 2/3 battles for leadership of a gym (this goes for both the challenger and the defending gym leader.)
- If you are the only applicant to a leaderless gym, you will be assigned leader.
- Apply Here
While You Are A Gym Leader:
- If challenges exist (for the gym leader position) then the current gym leader has to accept, at least 1 challenge every 7 days (or forfeit his/her position as gym leader)
- If challenges exist for badges, then the current gym leader has to accept at least 1 badge challenge every 3 days. (or forfeit his/her position as gym leader, unless the gym leader explicitly states that he will be unavailable for a certain period of time)
- Gym leaders cannot become champion.
- Gym leaders MUST update their challengers/winners after each battle
Rules *Update*
- Gym leaders are allowed use of 1 uber Pokemon or 1 uber item on their team
- Gym leaders must follow the appropriate Monotype clause ( 6 Pokémon with the same type. Dual typing is allowed, but they must all share a common type)
- Challengers, including challenges to become gym leader, are not allowed the uber perk, and must adhere to the tier list
- Arceus isn't allowed to anyone but the normal and rock gym leader (the rock gym is required to hold the stone plate.)
- Badges will not be awarded without formal challenges. Formal challenges can only be issued in the Gym leader's Gym thread (not home page shoutbox).
- The fire gym is allowed to use primal Groudon.
- Both Gym leaders and challengers must adhere to the following:
Sleep Clause (you may not put two of your opponent's Pokémon to sleep)
Dupe Clause (no more than 1 of the same Pokemon per team)
Counter Clause (gym leaders are allowed to ban 1 Pokemon from their gym)
- Battles can take place on showdown only if BOTH PARTIES agree to it.
- Gym leaders cannot use showdown as their ONLY means of battling. Meaning you must have a wifi team ready in case a challenger doesn't use showdown
- Battle format One on One 6v6
