From now until the Tournament's start date, gimmick battles will be announced periodically, for everyone to prepare their team(s). Today's gimmick battle announcement: Gym Leader Battle! Each participant will be assigned a type at random based on my algorithm. Their team must consist of 3-to-6 pokemon of their assigned type. All pokemon on their team must be of that type. Dual types are allowed and encouraged, of course, provided at least one of the types is their assigned type. (Goldy, for example, is allowed to use, say, a Rotom in its normal form, or a mega Gengar). Pokemon that change their type when mega evolved are allowed ONLY IF they are mega evolved on their first turn in battle. So Shiny would be allowed to use a mega Ampharos, but not a regular Ampharos.

Goldy: Ghost

TDR: Fighting

Core: Fairy

Pixel: Ice

Shiny: Dragon

JS: Ground

Goth: Poison

Scuba: Grass
