All is bright and cheery within the Unova region. The sun is shining, people are happy, and no body above ground knows about the activities below.

Yes, down below the Unova Region is an underground league set up by Ghetsis. When all had been lost by Ghetsis, he retreated to the earth and built an undergound region. Living in the underground, Ghetsis began training a new group of Pokemon, and as such, he has regained his power within the region.

So how do you come in to this?

You fell into a hole. It hurt. You looked up and saw that you were in an elagent building a good ways underground. You traveled through the area until you found a helpful person who told you all of this :D

So how do you challange the league?

Post your Team and your PO username. You will not be able to change your team (unless you restart your challange.)

Rules

All Standard Rules and Clauses are in effect (if you don't know them please refer to smogon)
All Pokecommunity Battle Stadium Rules are in effect (I would suggest you read them, they stop annoying things from happening)
I expect you to remain active if you join (this is only common courtesy)
Do note that we will be using Smogon's OU tier, not Pokemon Online's OU tier (I'm not sure that there is much difference, but I believe there is some.)

How do you join the league?

Choose a type, Post your team and PO username and I will battle you to test your battling skill. Gym leaders will be required to build their team of Pokemon of ONLY that type. However E4 members will be allowed to have 2 types of Pokemon on their team. I will be playing Ghetsis, and anything goes with him :D.

I should also point out that this will be Standard OU (aka Wifi OU.)

Any challanger who conquers the league will recieve ANY EV Trained Pokemon of their choice.
Our Pokemon are the same, but somehow yours are better just because you want to spend hours doing what I can do in minutes. Copy this into your sig if you think that anti PokeSav/PokeGen arguments are rediculus.

I suggest you add rules. [Standard Clauses and such]
Spoiler:

Self-KO Clause
f both players are down to their last Pokemon and one uses a move that kills itself, such as Explosion, Self-Destruct, Destiny Bond, or Memento, the trainer who used that move is considered the loser in the match.

Freeze Clause
Only one Pokemon may be frozen at the same time as another. Once one unfreezes, that Pokemon or another may be put back to sleep.

Sleep Clause
You may only put one Pokemon to sleep at a time. Once that Pokemon wakes up, you may put it or another Pokemon to sleep again. But again, only one Pokemon on their team can be asleep at one time. Pokemon asleep due to the effects of Rest or Effect Spore do NOT count towards that limit.

Species Clause
Each Pokemon must be of a different species. Different Pokedex number means it's a different species.

Evasion Clause and OHKO Ban
Sometimes grouped together as "No DT/OHKO". The following moves are banned:
- Double Team
- Minimize
- Fissure
- Guillotine
- Sheer Cold
- Horn Drill

No "Hax" Items
The following items are banned:
- Brightpowder
- Quick Claw
- Focus Band
- King's Rock

No Ubers.

Having those rules [Which are all the standard rules btw. It'll attract more people. No one wants to face super hax Pokemon.

If those rules are gonna be in effect, I'll join.
Leader: Electric
PO name: Dracon Ometeor / Afternoon Delight / Gleek / Santana Lopez
Team: Thundurus / Jolteon / Electivire / Rotom [C] / Zapdos / Eelektross

For a prize, you can pick one Pokemon from my shop [Gray Terminal. Must be from my part]

I'm currently breeding with my new JAP Ditto, so I might come up with something soon ;)

Is it possible that a gym leader could make a little mini-rule, like no legendaries, for their gym? I just hate it when people use legendaries -.-'

Do note that Swift Swim and Drizzle on the same team are banned. So if Kingdra has Swift Swim then you can not use that team.

Also I would like for people to note that I said this was Standard OU. This means that standard clauses apply. If you guys need it, I will post them on here, but I believed that that would be unnecessary.

If drizzle/ss is banned, then I assume that sand stream/sand veil is banned too right? Pretty much similar effects. One raises speed, the other raises evasion.

Also, I changed my team. No drizzle/ss if that is how we are gonna do it. I don't know why its banned. It is so easily countered with hippowdon/tyranitar/DW ninetails/etc. Just change the weather... Oh well I guess.

Nope, Sandstream + Any other sand effects are all good to go. Only Drizzle + Swift Swim on the same team are banned.

Well then I don't understand why... I would think boosted evasion is worse then boosted speed...

I am in complete agreement with you on that, and I believe that it will soon be banned (along with sand rush.) However, just use Ludicolo with Rain dish and run a swords dance sweep.

Also note though that the evasion boost is only 30%, where the Speed boost is a doubled effect.

Keldeo is not banned by smogon. The official list is:
Arceus
Blaziken
Darkrai
Deoxys-A
Deoxys
Dialga
Giratina
Giratina-O
Groudon
Ho-Oh
Kyogre
Lugia
Manaphy
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Reshiram
Shaymin-S
Zekrom

Well Eevolutions are not a type, also I notice that you have 5 pokemon on the psychic team, and even at that only 4 are psychic type (Zorua is a dark type)

Keldeo is not banned by smogon
Keldeo is an un-released event making it banned until it is released, along with Geno and Melo.

Also Latios is currently banned, because it is in the suspect testing thing. >:

Oh, duh, didn't notice that. Yeah, you'll have to use Rotom W, or if I could suggest something, get a spinner like Starmie or Tentacruel.
