The Rules

The rules of this SubForum are probably one of the most basic in the Guild. You should just be sure that you've read the Introduction to the Guild, which can be found here, and to just be polite around the place. Even if you lose, and you're upset, give a respectful, 'good game', maybe ask for some pointers if you think you need them.

Battling System

This shouldn't be too complicated, but be sure that you read it all, because it is still all in effect.

Before I break into giving you all the details about Smogon's rules, I'm going to lay down the most important thing of all when battling here in the Guild. Do not use hacked Pokemon. Some of us do check for signs of hacked Pokemon in every battle we have, and if caught using hacked Pokemon, you could be severely punished. PokeGen'd Pokemon are only allowed if there are no unnatural changes made, if the Pokemon is, and can be, 1OO% legal, then it is fine, but if, say, a Latios comes in using Fusion Flare, we're going to be suspicious. Trust me, we keep track of these things, and you're better off not hacking in the first place.

Here are all the details for Smogon's rules :

Smogon's Standard Clauses of Competitive Battling
Evasion Clause
Moves that boost evasion, such as Double Team and Minimize are not allowed. Abilities that boost evasion such as Snow Cloak and Sand Veil are still allowed. The item Bright Powder is also still allowed. The reasoning behind this is simple. If moves like these were allowed, the game play would be overcome with poor accuracy and would essentially turn into a game based solely on luck.

Freeze Clause
No two Pokemon may be frozen at the same time. There is no move as of current time that solely freezes a Pokemon, therefore this Clause cannot be enforced, but is legible once such a move becomes available.

One Hit Knock Out Clause
Moves that cause a one hit knock out, such as Sheer Cold and Fissure are not allowed. Similar to the Evasion Clause, luck should not win a battle but rather strategy.

Sleep Clause
The players may not put more than one Pokemon on the opponent's side to Sleep. The move Rest is not affected by this Clause [Self induced Sleep does not count]. If it were not for this clause, Pokemon like Breloom, Butterfree and Darkrai would run rampant putting everything they see to sleep, preventing the player from essentially doing anything, making a battle unfair, at the least.

Species Clause
No two Pokemon of the same species may be used on the same team. For example, two Gardevoir's would violate this clause, but a Gardevoir and a Gallade does not. This is because teams are suited for countering specific Pokemon only once. A team of Zapdos' would essentially require everyone to have a Blissey. It would destroy the balance of the metagame, and just imagine a team of 6 Arceus, for example.

Self Knock Out Clause
If both players have only one Pokemon remaining in battle moves that knock out the user, such as Explosion or Destiny Bond, are not allowed. If a player uses a move that causes recoil damage such as Flare Blitz ends the game in both Pokemon fainting, the player that attacked LAST is announced the winner. This is largely because the player knows full well before hand that a move like Flare Blitz will have the chance of fainting their Pokemon.

Hax Item Clause
The Hax Item Clause bans Items that increase Hax ratio, for example, a Sniper Drapion, holding Scope Lens will sweep very much. Or a Jirachi holding King's Rock.
This Clause bans the use of the items listed here, Scope Lens, Bright Powder, Quick Claw, Focus Band, King's Rock
