Brave the Storm! A new Kind of League
Welcome to what will soon be the Toughest PO League on the Serebii Forums! – This League is very different from most leagues, as instead of Gym Leaders and Elite four using Monotype team, they will be using Global or semiglobal Effects – Now I know you’re wondering, - What the hell is a "Global or semiglobal Effect!?" - well basically, it is one of several moves that affect the entire battlefield, or most of the battlefield (think triples, where it affects one whole team) - things like Gravity and Trick room are Global effects, while other things like Entry Hazards, Screens and Safeguard are deemed Semiglobal
Anyway, due to this, The challenger doesn't have the advantage of getting to use more than one type - as the opponent gets to aswell! So as a consolation, you will get to choose 8 Pokemon to start your challenge, and then another 2 (debatable) when you challenge the Elite Four - This means that you may swap Pokemon between battles to compensate for varying strategies...

2 - PO (Pokemon Online) is mandatory for the League. Wi-fi will not be played.
3 - No flaming, spamming or trolling.
4 -CounterTeaming (CTing) is strictly prohibited. If anyone has proof of CTing for a battle, the battle in question will be invalid.
5 - Team revealing is also strictly prohibited, do not reveal any Pokemon or strategy after battling a Gym Leader, Elite Four or the champion.
6 - You must always save all battle logs, otherwise any battle will be invalid if challenged.
7 – Smogon’s Standard OU Tiers are used, with some exceptions, please read “the Tiers” section (below) even if you know the banlist through and through
8 – Gym leaders and Elite four members must maintain a degree of activity, making sure they can accept most challenges. I reserve the right to replace or remove any Gym Leader or Elite Four member I deem inactive, you may appeal this, but if you are going to be inactive, make sure you warn me in advance. A substitute may be provided in your absence...
Please note this is STANDARD OU - that means no unreleased Dream World Pokes - if you can't get it on the DS, you can't use it on PO...

(Now, before you go all “WTF” this has nothing to do with my skills in weather [I love weather teams] – I want Players to be able to experience Battling a Weather team without fighting it in a Weather war - This League is meant to challenge Trainers to extend them to new heights. Challengers need to learn in order to beat this league. As such, the Weather Summoning abilities are Banned for Challengers)
