Badge Requests

[indigo_league]

 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.

[11121_assumption]

Character: Walter Sullivan | 11121_assumption
Badge/Gym Leader: Volcano Badge / Blaine
Elite/Regular: Elite
Team: Toluca the Greninja, Assumption the Marowak, Doll the Banette, Chaos the Luxray, Robbie the Bewear, Alessa the Volcarona
Battle Details:
Walter will open with his Greninja, Toluca. To start he'll use Double Team to raise his evasion. His main attacks will be Waterfall and Hydro Pump, although he'll also use Feint Attack if a foe tries to raise it's evasion and Shadow Sneak to finish off a weakened Pokemon. If Toluca faints, Walter will swap in Assumption, who will Retaliate the offending Pokemon on his first turn out and then use Bonemerang and Bone Rush against Blaine's team. He has two Full Restores to use, one for Toluca and one for Assumption.

He fully expects Toluca and Assumption to be able to handle this, although he has backups with him. Doll can Mega Evolve and will use nothing but strong offensive attacks like Phantom Force, Shadow Claw and Sucker Punch, with Pain Spilt to keep her HP up. Chaos has Return, Wild Charge and Throat Chop. Robbie, while weak to fire due to his ability, still has some immense raw power and will use Rock Slide for super effective damage and Pain Split to keep himself going. Alessa resists their fire type moves and can use Hurricane and Fly to attack.
