I'm sorry, but they won't allow it, as it's in the rules. I should have checked more clearly for counters, but it usually doesn't come to me until I put it on the battle results form. But yeah, I wanted to open the gym, because I know most people are online during the weekend and I usually open up on weekdays which can be busy for others. After awhile during our battle I was thrown off because of misses and sacrifices, plus the feeling of not really wanting to play, but I still tried to do whatever I could anyways. I guess since you have to re-battle with non-counter team, maybe I'll do better.
Just shoot me another PM/VM for whenever you want to re-challenge, I'll accept it even if I am not open.
