3.1/2:You are only allowed 1 (one) shiny pokemon per team.(That means 1 out of 6 pokemon). I don't care if you can somehow prove that they are legit. If you bring more than one shiny, I will suspect that you are using hacked pokemon and disqualify you. NO EXEPTIONS
4:If you so happen to lose or get disqualified, you must wait at least one day for a rematch. For those who were disqualified, you must use a different team than our first battle. You can use up to three of the pokemon from the previous battle, but absolutly no shinies whatsoever.
6:Rain Dance teams are banned. Your pokemon may have the move rain dance but your team cannot be revolved around the move rain dance.
To three, I get where you're coming from, and yes, in general, a team of full shinies tends to be hacked/EV trained and whatever. However, I think that if a challenger can prove (beyond shadow of a doubt) that a team with multiple shinies are legit, you should allow it. For most players this won't even be an issue, but... well, I'm just trying to keep things fair. I hope you understand.
To four, again, same issue. I don't see why legitimate shinies should be penalized. I have a shiny Charizard at level fifty, and a normal charizard on a different playthrough, at lvl 43, already has better stats, like by a landslide. Shininess doesn't guarantee a win.
To six... no. I'm going to ask you change this. That's like banning a trick room team, or a sleep-based team. I'll allow leaders to ban particularly detrimental moves, like stealth rock for myself and likely Dracoburn, Drizzle/Swift Swim because it's very broken, etc., but to ban a Rain Dance team is not allowed. If someone wants to challenge a
poison (not fire, grass, other types that would really suffer) gym with a rain team, it should be allowed. I can't see any particular reason why they can't. It only rains for five turns, so it's not like Drizzle and infinite rain. They'll need a turn to set up. So, again, I'll have to request you change this rule.
So, stupid question, I' still missing faces here. I haven't seen Dracoburn step into the thread for sometime, and there's a few others. Good to see the odl crew still around in some form, but I would love to be able to meet the legends, so to speak.
I am in contact with Dracoburn through Facebook a lot, and yes, I'm trying to get her to be more a part of the actual club. She's acting as my lieutenant in the league stuff, and when I feel I can rely on her, she's helping a bit in any disputes on legislation. Needle her yourself for me.
3. ?????
4. Profit.... no wait, NO wonder launcher
6. Well, challenge me and i'll get to the interesting 6th rule...
Please update and clarify these rules. I can't make out what they say. Well, four a little, but three and six need to be changed.
