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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character: Seto Kaiba |

blue_ice
Badge/Gym Leader: Jasmine for the Mineral Badge
Elite/Regular: Regular
Team: Today's main players are Leizi the Alolan Raichu (90), Zephyra the Rapidash (100), and Mizuchi the Kingdra (100). Kingyoku the Hisuian Goodra (100) sits in reserve with a Fire Punch in case things go wrong.

Battle Details:

vs. Skarmory

First up is Leizi. The Raichu usually loves to pull evasion tricks, but that's not going to work against Keen Eye Skarmory. Her main goal here is stay alive, then zappy-zap. Use Nuzzle for the paralysis first to slow it down, then Reflect to bolster her frail physical defense, then hit with Thunderbolt. Special moves are the move here, gotta avoid Skarmory's massive physical defense.

vs. Magneton

It's Zephyra's turn. The Rapidash is another frail speedster of an attacker, so she needs to hit hard and avoid paralysis as much as possible. She opens with Agility, then starts on Flame Wheel as her most reliable attack. She's avoiding Sunny Day because she doesn't want to hamper her partner in the next battle, so hopefully she can make it.

vs. Steelix

Now, finally, Mizuchi is up. The Kingdra is the whole reason Kaiba's attempting this fight now, so he wants her to do her best.

Now, this is going to be tricky because Steelix has a coverage move: Dragon Breath. Fortunately she's not quite as frail as Leizi and Zephyra. Special attacks are needed for this fight, so he uses Rain Dance to counter Sandstorm, has her wear a Rocky Helmet to hopefully keep up with the chip damage from a potential Stealth rock, and blasts with Bubble Beam at ever opportunity.

Backup:

Plan B is his own steel type, Kingyoku, who has Fire Punch for Magneton and Water Pulse for Steelix.
