The Coliseum Gym
Reply With QuoteWelcome to the Coliseum Gym
The Coliseum Gym is one of eight unofficial gyms, new to Pokefarm. The purpose of these gyms is to introduce members of Pokefarm to the competitive battling scene, introducing new strategies and movesets, teaching new members the rules and format of battling, and above all inspiring farmers to breed the best Pokémon possible. Hopefully through these battles members will learn the ins-and-outs of breeding and training a team with a competitive mind.
Please read the whole thread before Challenging.
The Coliseum Gym is a Fighting/Bug gym.
The Leader's Team will be composed of three Pokémon from each type. A Dual type Pokémon with both Gym types allows for an open slot on the team.
The Challenger's team may contain any six OU and down, non-legendary Pokémon that they wish. Hacked or Cloned Pokémon will not be tolerated.
All Gym battles will be Gen.V OU 6-v-6 battles at level 75. (The determined gym level)
Voice Chat will be turned off for all Battles.
Wonder Launcher will be turned off for all Battles.
The following Clauses will be in effect.
Sleep Clause: Only one Pokémon on your opponent's team may be forced to sleep at one time. Rest does not apply. The effect of "affect spore" does not apply if another Pokémon is already sleeping, However if "affect spore" puts a Pokémon to sleep and it it the only sleeping Pokémon on your opponent's team you are still prohibited from putting another Pokémon to sleep.
Evasion Clause: Evasion increasing moves such as double team, minimize, etc. are not permitted.
Items and Species Clause: Only one copy of any held item can be used per team. (i.e. two of your Pokémon cannot hold leftovers.)
Only one of each Pokémon can be on one team, different evolutions are allowed however. (i.e. You may have a Slowbro and a Slowking, but you may not have 2 Slowbro's.)
Self-KO Clause: Self KOing moves such as explosion, self-destruct, destiny bond, etc. May not be used if the Pokémon using the move is the last remaining Pokémon on your team.
Special Rules:
If convicted of hacking or breaking any of these clauses you will automatically lose the match. Further consequences may follow.
In the event of a loss by the challenger, the challenger must wait one week before re-challenging the gym.
In the event of a Disconnect the match defaults to the Leader. A re-match may be attempted at the Leader's discretion, otherwise the challenger must wait one week before re-challenging.
If you successfully defeat the Leader your victory will be recorded and the coding for your badge will be sent to you.
Upon Defeating the Leader you will receive the BugHorn Badge
Rules for Challenging:
Challenges will be submitted in the form of a private message to the leader.
The message must contain:
Intent to challenge.
Friend Code.
Times during the week you are available for battle.
Once a battle has been set make sure you are in the Wi-Fi room at the time agreed upon. The Leader will be in Wi-Fi from the agreed time up to an hour after the agreed upon time, after which point failure to show up without prior notice will result in a forfeit, and the challenger must wait one week.
After Battles have taken place you may discuss them in this thread. While discussing please refrain from revealing any detailed information about the Leader's team. The Leader will extend the same courtesy to the challenger. We suggest using nicknames to disguise your Pokémon’s identities in order to aid in discussion. If you are found guilty of disclosing information about the Leader's team actions will be taken against the offending individual which may include: being banned from challenging, removal of badges won, etc.
Do Not Under any Circumstances Post Videos of Gym Battles Without Express Permission of The Gym Leader. Gym Leaders will extend the same courtesy
