Gym Rules

FB Gym Challenges

You may take the FB Gym Challenge 4 times in your FB career:
1) When you have at least three Pokémon at level 25 and 3 Beginner Trainer Battles wins you may take the Level 1 Gym Challenge.
2) When you have at least three Pokémon at level 50 and 3 Intermediate Trainer Battles wins you may take the Level 2 Gym Challenge.
3) When you have at least three Pokémon at level 90 and 3 Advanced Trainer Battles wins you may take the Level 3 Gym Challenge.
4) When you have at least six Pokémon at level 100 and all of the Gym Badges you may take the Ultimate Gym Challenge where you will face 4 Mods (selected due to availability), who will each use a legendary Pokémon of their choice to battle you.
So, with 17 Gyms and 4 Gym Challenges you're looking at 52 battles in total. Each Gym three times makes 51 battles, the Ultimate Challenge making 52.


Rules: (Each Gym Leader may have their own specific rules, but will basically follow these Guidelines)
* Gym Challenge Levels 1, 2 & 3 will each involve a battle chosen by the Gym Leader in question. Some may challenge you to a 2 on 2, or a 3 on 3, others may prefer Double Team Battles.
* The type of battle (Hidden Squad, Blind Command, etc, is up to the discretion of the Gym Leader)
* In the event of Blind Command battles, you will each PM your attacks to the Ref so your opponent will not see what you have ordered in terms of attacks. This can avoid the whole issue of the second person to attack having the upper hand. Other battles will follow the same rules as regular Trainer Battles.
* A RNG will be used to determine the results of commands. It is completely unbiased, so it can be deemed as fair. The RNG will only determine whether or not the attack hits, not the amount of damage caused. It's pretty ridiculous for a Scyther's Quick Attack to cause maximum damage to a Tyranitar while a Charizard's Flamethrower causes minimum damage to a Weedle. In this respect, the result will be at the sole discretion of the Ref whose decision is final.
* If you lose your Gym Battle you must wait three months before challenging the same Gym Leader again.
* Pokémon in Shops my be used in Gyms, however PC Pokémon may not.
* When asked by the Ref to post the Pokémon you will be using for the battle, you must post their complete moveset (including all level up moves to their current level, Egg & MT Moves plus HM's & TM's). This is the moveset you will be using during the battle. Any moves learned by your Pokémon in shops DURING the battle are NOT to be added to their Gym Moveset until the battle is over.

Example:
Pokemon: Houndoom (M) Lv.27
Nickname: Houndy
Level Up Moves: Leer, Ember, Howl, Smog, Roar, Bite
Egg Moves: Fire Spin, Pursuit, Beat Up, Will-o-Wisp
MT Moves: Body Slam, Double-Edge, Mimic
HM's: Strength, Rock Smash
TM's: None

If this is what you post then these are the moves your Pokémon will use during the course of the match. Any other moves taught to them may be used in the zones but NOT in the Gym. Any edits made to your initial post during the course of the match results in immediate disqualification.

Gyms:
* All Gym Leaders will have a Squad chosen by them. Six each at level 25-30, six each at level 50-55 and six each at level 85-100. They are for use ONLY in the Gyms, and are not a part of their regular squad.
* All Gym Leaders Pokémon will have all Level Up Moves to their current level, all Egg Moves, all MT Moves, all HM Moves, 1 Advanced Move (where applicable), and 6 TMs of the Gym Leader's choice.
