What does it take? It changes for each gym! Normally, the games increase in difficulty as you progress, but that wouldn't be any fun if characters could just as easily take on the Gyms that are supposed to be for top trainers only. THEREFORE, the gym leaders aren't going to be pushovers like in the games! In order to win a badge, the mods will take into account your current roster and the attacks and advantages to see whether your pokémon is strong enough to win a badge or not.

Each gym leader has a Regular Team of pokemon and an Elite Team of pokemon you can challenge. It's up to a trainer to decide which team to challenge, but if you take on the Elite Team of six level 100 Pokemon, you'll receive double the prize money. The items, however, are not doubled. Excellent for trainers looking for the extra challenge or those looking to make money fast.

!!! Badges must be mod approved. To earn a badge, please comment on this post. Please don't ask for more than two badges to be approved at once!

The Elite Four is now distributing Keystones and Mega Stones to promising trainers! Any trainer who has defeated all eight gyms of a single region will be granted a Keystone and one Mega Stone of their choice. No player will be able to have more than one Mega Stone at a time, and those looking to switch theirs out may do so once every four months. Mega Stones may be used in any casual trainer battle, but as far as gyms go may only be used in Elite battles.

The Indigo Plateau is now open to challengers! To qualify, trainers must have all sixteen badges from Johto and Kanto. Every Pokémon they face will be level 100, and the Elite Four and the Champion have heaps of talent and experience. As such, we will be reviewing Indigo Plateau challenges with more scrutiny than we bring to badge requests. A higher level of strategy is required to win on this field. Show us what you've got!

This Gym is part not of the Indigo League, but the Aurora League.	Aurora League Gym Leaders may choose their own battle specializations, as well as. design their own unique Gym (which will take one month to build from the time of request) and Badge (which will be available as soon as the Gym opens). They will be compensated for their work as Gym Leaders with a stipend that will cover building costs, labor (the Leader's and any Trainers they may employ), and rewards for victorious challengers. We ask that Aurora Gym Leaders think carefully about the location of their Gym and the difficulty level they wish to present challengers. We also ask that they create their own Badge Request page like this one so that others can request battles with them. To officially request an Aurora League Gym, fill out the provided template and comment here.

Please use this form to request a badge or a showdown with the Elite Four! Post your request as a comment to this post. Badges will generally be processed once per week, on either Wednesday or during the weekend. Please try not to PM or IM mods about badges (including elite challenges) unless your request has gone unanswered for more than a week.

!!! Please request badges as your character is actually in the general area of the gym!

!!! To preserve the spirit of the game, obtaining badges using recently-inherited Pokémon (ie, Pokemon received from dropped characters) that massively outlevel your own is discouraged. If this happens, you may be asked by the badge mod to revise your team. Inherited Pokemon that your character has had for a while and are the same level as the rest of your character's team are fine to use!

!!! Remember that you must fight all four members of the Elite Four and Champion Lance in a row. You may heal your Pokémon between battles and take a short break, but you cannot leave without ending your challenge.

Character: Izuku Midoriya |

mightdoriya
Badge/Gym Leader: Falkner/Zephyr Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Team here! He'll be bringing Mighty the Eevee, Mirko the Buneary, Burnin' the Charmeleon, Ryuko the Appletun, Hawks the Decidueye, Kamui the Tangrowth
Battle Details:

SO LIKE...Izuku is well aware that from the start, most of his team has been (and still is) not the best for taking on Falkner's birds. While the wise thing to do here would be to bring in an electric or rock type to completely sweep the place, Falkner will be faced today with a trainer forced into implementing a lot more strategy since he doesn't actually have any major type advantages (save for one which I'll get to). Each team member has been chosen for a purpose though, even those with weaknesses to flying types. Pokemon will for the most part follow the order as they are listed in when Izuku will send them out, though he will swap members or change his strategy on the fly should it be required.

Mighty (Eevee): While Mighty is one of the strongest members on Izuku's team and beats out all of Falkner's birds in terms of level advantage, he's still a normal type with no obvious strengths against them. While the obvious choice for someone else might have been to grab a thunderstone and make this quick, Izuku respects his Eevee's choice to remain an Eevee for now and instead picked up a TM from Goldenrod on his way through back to Violet: Toxic. Izuku's primary objective is going to be to hinder these birds as much as possible, so Toxic will be the first priority. With Toxic putting a timer on the opponent, Izuku will then switch to alternating other status moves such as Sand Attack, Growl, and Tail Whip, to lower attack, defense, and accuracy. Accuracy and defense will take priority since Izuku expects Mighty to be able to withstand a few hits thanks to the level advantage. Peppered inbetween will be moves like Swift and Quick Attack for the priority, as well as Bite for flinch chance. Take Down will only be used as a last resort to get as much damage off as possible.

Mirko (Buneary > Lopunny): Most of Mirko's moveset is similar to Mighty's in that there's a lot of normal type and varius similar status moves. However, Mirko has access to fighting moves like Jump Kick and Double Kick. They'll only do neutral damage to these dual-typed birds, but hopefully pack an extra punch to help whittle them down. She will also make liberal use of Dizzy Punch in a pinch to try and get a confusion off, as well as Agility to give herself much needed priority over Pokemon that might otherwise outspeed her. Endure remains in the back pocket to withstand a move that would otherwise K.O. her, followed up by a priority move like Quick Attack to get off some more chip damage.

Note: This is just for flavor purposes, but whether or not this challenge is a success, Mirko will evolve during the battling into Lopunny! It may give her a boost in strength due to simply having higher stats at that point, but I don't expect it to completely change the tides of a battle necessarily.

Burnin' (Charmeleon): Burnin' is at a level where he either only just beats out his opponent or is at a slight disadvantage. Nevertheless, he makes up for the disadvantage in sheer ferocity in battle. Izuku plans on letting him go all out with offense, primarily focusing on moves like Flamethrower and Fire Fang for STAB. Smokescreen will be implemented to drop accuracy if things start to get dicey.

Ryuko (Appletun): In the hopes that the other three were able to successfully do a good bit of damage in their time on the field, Izuku has his three Pokemon at potentially the greater risk on the back lines. Ryuko has a stronger chance given the fact that not only is she both Grass and Dragon type, she's incredibly hearty with tons of HP to tank hits if necessary. Izuku's plan is to have her utelize Leech Seed for additional chip damage on top of toxic should she come out, then focus on dealing damage with moves like Stomp, Headbutt, Body Slam for the paralysis chance if Mighty didn't manage to get a Toxic off, and Bullet Seed. Protect will be used to stall between turns of Toxic while she restores her own HP with Recover as necessary. Curse will be used to lay down extra damage over time as a last resort if Izuku sees she's going to go down.

Hawks (Decidueye): Hawks is also a dual-type just like Ryuko, and by the time he's introduced into battle Izuku will have him focus mainly on offensive moves. If multiple Pokemon are left on Falkner's side, he'll use Spirit Shackle to bind them to the battle, ensuring that whatever residual damage they've been taking (be it from poison, leech seed, or curse) can't be nullfied by swapping out. From there, moves like Leafage, Razor Leaf, and Shadow Sneak will be prioritized to take advantage of STAB with usage of Synthesis inbetween to recover health as necessary.

Kamui (Tangrowth): Kamui will come out as Izuku's final resort. Being pure grass type, she has the most obvious weakness against flying types despite being tied with Izuku's strongest. Where she lacks in advantage naturally, she makes up for it in sheer bulk in terms of defense.

Izuku's plan? Have her spam Ancient Power until they faint. That is his ace in the hole here. If she manages to get an omni-boost, all the better. If things get risky he'll chance Sleep Powder to buy time if they're not already afflicted by status, but mainly the goal here is to sweep up the rest of what's left if the rest of Izuku's team has since fallen.
