Fire Type Gym (Current Leader: Awkward Squirtle)

[Awkward Squirtle]

Greetings Challenger. I like to think of you as like this CHARCOAL BADGE.

Put you under heat and pressure, three things may happen.
You may be crushed.
You may be burned down to ashes. 
Or maybe, just maybe, you'll come out as a diamond, nearly unbreakable.

Can you handle the heat?

Rules of the Gym
-> Single Battles, 6 Pokémon used, Mega Evolutions allowed because originality.
-> Sleep Clause, Evasion Clause, Moody Clause, and Infinite Battle Clause are all in play.
    ->I will not enact freeze clause due to the sheer unlikelihood of it occurring. I'm the one that will suffer for this, I don't care. I'm not enacting "you got lucky therefore I win."
-> I'd like to run wifi, but I'll see what the challengers have to say. I'm happy to run showdown if that's what everyone else is doing.
-> Timewise, I'm available GMT between 8PM and 11PM most days. Weekends at the moment I can probably extend that to from 2PM, but naturally I may be busy.

Ban List
Arceus (all forms), Darkrai, Deoxys (all forms), Dialga, Giratina (both forms), Groudon, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Kyurem (Black and White), Lugia, Mewtwo, Palkia, Rayquaza, Reshiram, Shaymin (Sky Form), Thundurus (Genie form), Xerneas, Yveltal, Zekrom

I have not banned Gale Wings. Make of this what you will. I am happy to ban it if this does becomes standard, but I'll allow him for now.
Weather is also permitted.

Personal rule here, use this topic to talk about issues with the gym, or to issue a challenge, but leave it at issuing. I will acknowledge a challenge in a post here, and will PM you to organise the details. I will follow up with announcement of the battle result once it has taken place. I don't want to lose posts in the thread or have to look through "k, I'm online" while looking.


As for rewards, I have far too many 5 IV Caterpie, and will likely end up with other breeding spares as I develop my team. I will let you know when this happens.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Well... sorry for the absurd luck I had in that one. Good game, man. .-.

[Awkward Squirtle]

Dw, you outplayed me anyway, it just wouldn't have been 5-0

[JSM]

I'd like to submit my challenge to you =P

[Awkward Squirtle]

Challenge accepted, Challenge successful. Solid 4-0 victory, though that's less than Richard was beaten by, so that's something :p

Have a badge.
