The Climate Challenge

[HazoHaxorus]

Welcome, avid trainer!
Welcome to the Climate Challenge. This challenge is based on where you live IRL, using the climate around you to determine which Pokémon you may use and your bonus rule. There are 3 difficulties to this challenge; Standard, Super, and Ultimate. Each difficulty has its own rules which I will list below, just under the base rules.​

Base Rules:
1. Any fainted Pokémon must be released or placed in a box JUST for dead Pokémon.
2. You may only catch Pokémon of the types listed on your chosen Climate.
3. You may catch a Pokémon not listed in your typings if it evolves (Or Mega Evolves) into a Pokémon with one of your typings. (Ex: Torchic, Fire type, into Blaziken, Fire/Fighting type.
4. You may not trade with any player unless you are doing a Co-Op/Versus challenge with them or you want to evolve a Pokémon.
5. You must nickname all Pokémon you catch.
6. Have Fun!!!​

Standard Specific Rules:
1. All base rules apply.
2. Battle style must be SHIFT.
3. Legendaries are exceptions to ALL rules except rule 1.​

Super Specific Rules:
1. All base and Standard rules apply
2. You MUST use the Optional Rule decided by your climate.​

Ultimate Specific Rules:
1. All base and Super rules apply.
2. Battle style must be SET.
3. You may not use Legendaries AT ALL.
4. You can only catch one Pokémon per area.
5. Your Climate must be chosen based on your Real Life surroundings.​

Optional Clauses:
Shiny Clause: You may use shinies regardless of their type.
Co-Op Clause: You and another person work together, attempting to get the shortest clear time with the least deaths. You must wait for the other person upon completing a gym.
Slave clause: You may have one Pokémon devoted to HMs, if that Pokémon dies, you may keep it in your party but may not use it in battle.
Versus Clause: You and a friend race to complete the game. After both players complete each gym, you may have a battle/Showdown! battle, where the looser must remove one member of their party (and consider it dead) of the winner's choice.
Dupes Clause: If you encounter a Pokémon you already have while in Ultimate, you do not need to catch it.
Static Clause: If you are given a Static encounter/gift pokemon, it may be used regardless of type.​
