Welcome to The Battling Academy
Here at The Battling Academy we do things a little differently. Our clan is not based off of any specific type of Pokemon, rather we have adapted the schooling system and run off that. The idea of the clan was born roughly a week or two ago by GM and Andrew, we put in lots of work to create something, that we find, rather unique. Our goal is to improve our members skills as trainers by teaching them techniques and ideas that we as battlers have learned through our numerous battles, which have resulted in many wins and losses. Below is the basic structure of our clan and how it is run, if you have any questions feel free to PM me or Andrew.

Clan Information
Here at the Battling Academy, students are divided into two Divisons: Juniors and Seniors. The Juniors are those members who are new to competetive battling and have joined this clan, primarily, to learn. The Seniors are the better battlers of the clan, who have joined the clan, primarily to test their skills and improve even further. The Seniors are the ones who will represent the Clan in Wars etc. Upon initiation to the clan a member may request a test battle in order to be placed in Seniors, if he passes, then he is placed in the first rank of Seniors. If the test is failed, the member may be placed in some of the higher Junior ranks, depending on his performance. Being placed in Juniors does not mean you will stay there, however, after you have reached the 4th Junior rank, you may once again request a rank up battle to be promoted. When you make the move from Juniors to Seniors, all AP and Win/loss records will be reset and you will have to earn the required rank up qualifications from scratch. (If you have AP that you wish to spend when you move, you may do so)
Rising through the ranks of the Battling Academy will be no mean feat, but you are not expected to do this alone. By your side, at all times, you will have your most trusted partner, someone you have been through a great many things with: your Signature Pokemon. Here at the Battling Academy, members must choose a 'Signature Pokemon' this may be any pokemon providing it is usable in Wifi OU or a legendary pokemon. In clan battles you must always use this pokemon (so think carefully) however you are free to change it's moveset, nature etc. Each member may change his/her Signature Pokemon once, for free, if it doesn't work well. However any changes after that will cost 10AP, so choose carefully!
Additionaly, at The Battling Academy, students are split into five houses. These houses correspond to the five regions of the main pokemon series: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. This house will be allocated to you by myself, when I accept you in to the clan, this is to ensure the numbers are kept as even as possible. Each house has it's own captain, who makes decisions regarding house challenges and wars.
This house does have a restriction on what pokemon you use in clan battles, but it is a small one: you must use at least one pokemon that is found in that region and was also new at the time (so no choosing crobat in Hoenn for example). Please also note that you Signature Pokemon does not count for this. However the main purpose of these houses is for tournaments/wars within our clan. The various restrictions on teams are designed to improve your skills as a team builder.
Each Month, each House strives to earn points by battling, winning tournament and doing jobs, and, at the end of each month the house with the most points wins the prestigous House Cup. The winner of this Cup gets their House Shield decorating the top of the BA's info posts!

Weekly Pokemon Review
Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid/Modest
- Psyshock/Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Energy Ball/Shadow Ball
There are many revenge killers in the OU tier and many of them have advantages over Alazakam, but Zam's main stand-alone point is its ability to revenge things faster than itself. Allow me to explain: Thanks to Magic Guard, provided Zam comes in after a pokemon has fainted, will always enter on full health. As it has a Focus Sash equipped, Alakazam will always be able to fire off an attack, and often two, thanks to Alakazam's great speed. Thanks to Alazakam's great coverage, it can hit many pokemon Super-Effectively, missing out on less than 10 pokemon in the entire OU tier. Alakazam's fantastic Base 135 Special Attack means that these hits normally result in a OHKO. Zam's other advantage is that, by not running a choice item, is less prone to being trapped by pursuit-users, something that Scarf Latios can't lay claim to. All things considered, Alakazam is a great pokemon to act as 'glue' in the 6th slot of your team

5) Win a War Match (4HP)
6) Being awarded 'Member of the Week' (4HP)
7) Having a house member rank up in the clan (4+New RankHP for seniors and New RankHP for juniors)
8) Winnng tournaments, both inter-person and inter-house (Varies)
9) In a House vs House (see below) (Varies)
House vs House
Each house, as a chance to earn more HP, can have a mini-war against another house. If a House Captain wants his house to war another, then he may contact the House Captain of another house. If he/she accepts, the two House Captains will decide on tiers, bans etc. and also how many people each house should select to battle (either 3, 5 or 7). When two houses are in a House vs House, this must be posted on the tread before it oficially gets under-way. The House vs House works similarly to a Clan War with no matchups. Each member will battle another member from the opposing house, and post the results of the battle on the the clan thread. Whichever house gets the most wins, wins! When a house wins a House vs House, they receive 10HP, with a bonus of an extra HP for each point they won by.
Those are the basics of a House vs House, please check the spoiler below for additional rules:
- All normal clan restrictions for your team apply
- A House vs House must end after 2 weeks from the confirmation date. If it has not been completed by this time, the winner will be decided from the current score. If it is a draw, a tie-breaker match will be done, the participants of which will be decided at random
- No house may challenge the same house twice in a row
- After a House vs House has been completed, the participant houses must wait a week before being able to challenge/be challenged again
- Wi-fi team viewer must be used in any House vs House
- When cofirming that a House vs House is starting, the House Captain may choose to 'wager' some HP (up to a maximum of 10). If the lose the challenge, that amount of HP is lost, but if they win, then they recieve double that amount of HP in addition to the HP gained for winning. Please note that a house cannot wager more HP than it has at the time.
Also, each house has a 'Stratagem' which is something, based on their respective region, that gives them an advantage while batting in House vs House. Note that your opponents will also be able to make use of their Stratagem, so you must learn to use yours to the greatest effect. Check the spoiler below for the different stratagems. Note that any rules strategems give ovewrite the rules given above
Kanto: Oak's Expertise
Professor Oak is a renowned Pokemon Professor. Anything he doesn't know about Pokemon, isn't worth knowing. He also started most pokemon trainers out on their journies, even ones that now make their home in foreign regions! As a result, Oak can give Kanto Members an insight to their opponents.
At the start of each battle, the Kanto member may choose one of his opponent's pokemon. His opponent must then reveal that pokemon's moveset, item, EVs and nature.
Johto: Mt. Silver
Mt. Silver is the harshest, toughest most unforgivging place in the pokemon world. Tough Johto trainers go there to train their pokemon, and the harsh training they recive makes other pokemon seem weak in comparison.
The opponent of a Johto house member in a House vs House must set one of his pokemon to lvl 90. If batting via Wi-fi flat, one pokemon must be set to lvl 45.
Hoenn: Space Center
The Space Center in Hoenn can launch probes to spy on their enemies, and to learn to their every move.
Before the battle has even started (i.e. Before the opponents see each other's team via team preview) the opponent of a Hoenn member must reveal the identity of two of his pokemon, one of which cannot be his signature pokemon (just what the pokemon is, not EVs, moveset etc like Kanto's Stratagem)
Sinnoh: The Whim of Arceus
Arceus, the God of Pokemon, is known to watch of Sinnoh above all the other regions. If Sinnoh were to come under threat, he could influence the minds of other pokemon to sway the battles in Sinnoh's favour.
When confirming a House vs House is starting, the Sinnoh house must choose 3 pokemon and their opponent house may not use those 3 pokemon in any of their House vs House battles. If it so happens that someone's sig pokemon is chosen, they can still battle, but must do so without the sig pokemon.
Unova: Entralink
The Entralink is a curious thing, allowing members of the Unova House to invade their enemies' worlds, and even disguise themselves as pokemon and therefore attack the enemy where they are weakest: behind their own lines. Sabotage is afoot...
Anyone battling against someone in the Unova House in a HvH may only equip three of their pokemon with held items
Recent HvH Results
Kanto - 2 vs0 - Unova
Hoenn - 0vs 2 - Sinnoh
Johto - 2 bs0 - Unova
Note: There is no way to lose HP except for breaking rules.
*If you buy somehting from the shop, the AP amount will not be reset for the purposes of calculating HP.

Members and Ranks
Battling is key to almost every part of this clan, and ranking up is no exception. Here you must battle other members in order to qualify for a rank up, at which point you will battle an Assistant or a Teacher, however you do not necessarily need to win your battle to rank up. Here you are graded after the battle and your grade will determine if you qualify for your rank up. Below is a list of grades and how to achieve them
A* - Win 5-0+
A – Win 3-0 +
B – Win 1-0+
C – Lose 2-0+
If you do however fail at meeting these grade requirements, you can simply try again the next day. There are other ways of ranking up too, if a leader thinks you have done exceptional work for the clan by doing jobs, or if you win an inter-clan tournament are two examples. Below is a list of ranks members can achieve, and how to qualify for a rank up to the next level. Also next to your name is the House you are in.

Rank up battles are against the leader or any tutor. You may only have one once a day, and must wait a week after ranking up for requesting another
Special Ranks
Special Ranks are so called for a number of reasons. Firstly, the only way to acheive one of these ranks is at the leader's choosing. Secondly, these ranks are held in addition to normal ranks, so one could be a Tutor and a Senior 3rd Year, for example. Finally, Special Ranks bring with them extra responsibilities within the clan. As such, you may decline a Special Rank if offered one. In the spoiler below are a list of Special Ranks and the duties that come with them.

A Tutor has two resposibilities within the clan, tutoring anyone in the lowel level tutoring scheme and doing Senior Tests. Please note that, with Senior Tests, the battle video is sent to the leader, and he makes the final desicion on whether that person ranks up or not, although Tutors normally can be relied on to judge correctly. With Low Level Tutoring, each pupil is assigned a Tutor (see below) but with Senior Tests, you can have one from any Tutor

Shop Worker
http://i43.*******.com/2e3o9xd.gif
A shop worker is, obviously, someone who works in the shop. However, aside from this, he/she has other roles and slightly different rules. First of all, to qualify for becoming a shop worker, you must be able to trade the pokemon which you've donated to members who have bought them, so that means regular wi-fi access. One extra responsibility is becoming a sort of 'moderator' for the shop. For example, should someone request a pokemon that is reserved, it will be the shop worker's responsibility to tell them otherwise. For this reason, it is often a good idea for members to PM/VM a shop worker requesting a pokemon from the shop, especially if it is in their possesion. Finally, having a purchased cleared with a shop worker removes the need for me to check. Therefore, if it is clear with a shop worker, it's clear with me. To do this, the Shop Worker must check that the pokemon requested can be bought and that the buyer has enough AP (issues regarding the latter, however, must be cleared with me). Finally, instead of getting AP for donations as usual, a shop worker is paid a certain amount every week, or otherwise rewarded in other ways.

All the other info such as points, banners etc will be on the next post. So in all I hope this will be a successful clan and members will have fun here.
