~Trinity Discord~
The Trinity League is a well-respected communal League that offers fun and challenging battle experiences for new and veteran players alike. The League strives to be open, welcoming, and mature. It is a unique League where players need to be strategic when team-building due to our “Trinity” concept, where Challengers face a Triad of Gym Leaders with one team.
General Rules
1) Read and follow all main SPPf rules.
2) Respect & be polite to every member of this League; never insult anyone in any way (give the benefit of the doubt!).
3) If there is a conflict, keep the League at peace and contact Thread Overseers.
4) Do not cheat/hack (Pokesav, Pokegen, illegal traits through AR, etc.). This undermines the hard work and dedication our Leaders put into team building.
5) SPPf battling Standard Rules & Smogon tiers are followed in this League. Additionally, Challengers & Gym Leaders may use only up to 2 non-Uber legendaries. (Helpful resource: Smogon's Gen 7 Banlist)
6) Gym Challenges are OU SM Wifi battles only.
7) Never cut the Wifi! You may be banned if League members identify you of doing so on purpose! If you have connectivity issues, mention it before a battle .
8) Both Challengers and Leaders should post Battle Results into the thread. Where appropriate, update posts with further battle results. (don’t double-post)
9) To arrange battles, contact Leaders directly through VM/PM.
10) Have fun!! : )
Challenger Rules
1) To earn Badges, fill out an application form and copy-paste it into the thread.
2) The Trinity League offers Triads of Gym Leaders, which means you have to challenge a Triad with the same Pokémon team. (Items/Attacks/Nature/IVs/EVs/Ability/Formes (Depending on the Pokémon) may be changed)
3) You are allowed to challenge multiple Triads at the same time.
4) When posting battle results, you must list your Pokémon (Forms included) to ensure your team stays the same with other Triad members.
5) If you lose to the first Leader in a Triad, you may change your entire team. Should one of your Pokémon get banned from the XY OU Tiers tier, you may switch that one team member with a Pokémon of the same typing of the one banned. POKEMON ONLY not items.
7) Counter Teams (CT) are not allowed, and Leaders may decline the battle should they detect a CT. Mega Evolutions count as CT if either before or after mega-evolving the Pokémon is considered a Counter. If you lose and switch out a team member, the CT rule still applies even if a Triad Leader was already defeated.

2) The Trinity League offers Triads of Gym Leaders, which means you have to challenge a Triad with the same Pokémon team. (Items/Attacks/Nature/IVs/EVs/Ability/Formes (Depending on the Pokémon) may be changed)
3) You are allowed to challenge multiple Triads at the same time.
4) When posting battle results, you must list your Pokémon (Forms included) to ensure your team stays the same with other Triad members.
5) If you lose to the first Leader in a Triad, you may change your entire team. Should one of your Pokémon get banned from the XY OU Tiers tier, you may switch that one team member with a Pokémon of the same typing of the one banned. POKEMON ONLY not items.
(Blaziken is banned, but you've used it in a Triad. You're allowed to swap it for either another Fire-type Pokémon, or a Fighting-type Pokémon. Mega Stones are items, so if a Mega you're using gets Banned, you are stuck using that Pokémon without its Mega Stone.)
6) You're only allowed to use 1 Team against all 3 Leaders in a Triad, if you wish to change a Pokémon, you'll be forfeiting any badges earned there in the process, as well as still following the CT Rule.7) Counter Teams (CT) are not allowed, and Leaders may decline the battle should they detect a CT. Mega Evolutions count as CT if either before or after mega-evolving the Pokémon is considered a Counter. If you lose and switch out a team member, the CT rule still applies even if a Triad Leader was already defeated.
(CT is defined as having 4 or more Pokémon of a type that a) has super-effective STAB, or b) resists the Leader’s type)

Leader Rules
1) Every Leader must post at least once a week to show activity & open shop at least once every two weeks. In case of a longer absence, be sure to let me know in advance.
2) If you cannot comply with 1), you risk losing your position and being replaced.
3) Leaders are expected to use our Official Chatroom when opening.
4) Once challenged, you must accommodate the battle. Matches can only be declined if your opponent has illegal/hacked Pokémon, or CTs against your Triad. (See our list of CTs for each Triad)
5) A match may not be declined beyond your first turn. Forfeiting mid-battle once accepted results in a Challenger Win. Ties always result in Challenger Loss.
6) As Gym Leaders you must have at least 4 Pokémon with the type of your title. The 5th & 6th Pokémon may be of a different type. A Mega Evolution may be counted as your type, as long as it has it before Mega Evolition.
8) You may switch any party member as long as Rule 6) is kept.
9) You must be able to do 6 vs 6 Singles under Normal Rules. You may battle Challengers in Doubles under Normal Rules, if they accept.
