Now, I've been wondering about this for quite a while... but I'm asking it now:

Why won't it let me use my team in random online battles? They're all legit, of course (no Pokesav or the likes), thus they're not bad eggs. All of them are level 70+, and I can use them in Friend battles, but when I go for an online random battle it says something like, "Some Pokemon can not be used". I always assumed it was because only level 50 is allowed, but doesn't it automatically level down to 50?

Anyone know what the problem is?

(And I'm not using Arceus or Shaymin; in fact, the most uberish Pokemon on my team is Metagross!)

Check which clauses are in effect and make sure you haven't violated any.

Oi, I never even thought about Clauses! The only Clause my team would be breaking is Item Clause. And Item Clause is stupid anyway, since any stall team would fall apart without Leftovers.

However, as far as I know, you can't set Clauses in the random battles. Maybe you can... I'll have to recheck.

Thanks for the help! I hate Item Clause with a passion. If someone's gonna try to use a Darkrai on me, I think I deserve more than one Leftovers. XD

Ubers aren't allowed on random Wi-Fi battles, so you won't have to worry about facing them.

And the clauses are already set, there are different ones for double and single, but they are mostly the same. So, sadly, you can't change it to what you want to do, you have to do what Nintendo tells you. Stupid Nintendo.

Sometimes life gets lonely if you haven't talked to your friends in a while.

I actually think it takes more skill to follow their rules. I don't see how that makes them suck :p

Well, someone broke that rule on me yesterday. Played a Japanese girl with a Darkrai. I was totally crushing her team, but then that thing ruined me. Ugh. Insane.

Movie Darkrais at least are legal on Wi-Fi, now, since Nintendo HAS released Darkrai.

Wubbuffet would be fun to exploit in random battles...

Wobbuffet + Wish Passing Blissey = PWNAGE to any team that doesn't have a concrete counter to Wobbuffet (like Trace Gardevoir or Toxic/Sub Dugtrio)
