These are the standard rules you go by when battling. Unless if you specify with your opponent that you want to change the rule a bit during the battle and if they allowed, go ahead.



`Sleep Clause

You can't use sleep inducing moves in opponent's Pokémon when there's another Pokémon in his/her team asleep. Yawn can't be used to PseudoHaze (make opponent switch) when there's another Pokémon asleep caused by you. When the asleep Pokémon awakes or faints, you're free to make another Pokémon of his/her team asleep. Sleeping being caused by Effect Spore or Rest are disconsidered from Sleep Clause.



`Species Clause

You can't use two of the same Pokémon in a team.

Evasion Clause

You can't use moves that increases your evasion. Avoid the use of Acupressure, it has 1/7 chance to double your evasion.



`OHKO Clause

You are strictly prohibited of using OHKO moves. They are Guillotine, Horn Drill, Fissure and Sheer Cold.



`No Hacks

Don't need to explain, you are prohibited to use any pokemon that have tambered with stats or moves they wouldn't normally have. pokesav or pokegen is legal as long as the pokemons made have legal stats and moves and can be playable.
