Wow, this is a great idea!

I just got Pokémon Y through the current 3DS deal. I haven't started it yet, but would love to have a go at some of the GAF gym leaders whenever I've put enough time into it.

Such a great community. Keep it up, GAF.

 

[CrimsonN0]

Hmm, I was gonna start the challenge with Fire, but that ones not ready.
With all the different times/not ready gyms, I'm too lazy to try to find the best sequence to beat them all in.

Looking over the rules, you can switch items whenever you want, right?
Are the challenges just 1 out of 1 battles?

 

[Natiko]

Hmm, I've spent a lot of time making competitive Pokemon (something like ~35) but have almost never battled. Maybe I'll take a shot, though I have none made for doubles nor the slightest clue on good strategy so those double only gyms will kill.

 

[Zalman]

Great idea. Might challenge you guys at some point.

I can't say for the switching items around your team ( although I think that's fine ) but the challenges are bo1 only.

 

[witchedwiz]

I will be the One to get 'em all!
From next week though

 

[Maintenance]

This idea is awesome. I will absolutely try to get some badges.

Spoiler

Who am I kidding, I'll be a jobber like Ash on the Elite 4.

 

[Aggrotek]

I am really excited, the response to this is great.

 

[CommandThrower]

I really like this idea! I haven't really played Pokemon since January, but this will give me some incentive to train some more of my favorite Pokemon to be able to compete in this challenging league.

Subscribed!

 

[Regiruler]

(as long as they could legitimately be caught/bred in Kalos)

There goes that. I only play VGC doubles and my team uses a Gen IV/V only (ATM) pokemon.
I'll just have to pray that he's in the RSEmake. That and for move tutors as another of my members needs a move from a B2W2 move tutor: not looking forward to using Gen V breeding mechanics again.

Sitting this challenge out for now, will probably subscribe to see if there is any significant updates.

The allowed Pokémon for this include all VGC2014-legal Pokémon; if your team is VGC-legal it should be usable here.

I thought they lifted the restriction for 2014, it seems I was mistaken.

 

[TWILT]

Just sent a PM to Quest1 to challenge him.

Dragon gym first gym challenge lets gogogo.

 

[Wichu]

Updated the rules slightly: Gym Battles are now best of 3 to prioritise player skill over luck. You'll now have the hax the Gym Leader to death twice

 

[Mister_Ruck]

This is a really neat idea. When I was a kid I wanted to set something up like this with friends but when I was 7 or whatever I didn't have 30+ friends to set up a nice league with

I haven't finished X but I might just for this!

Just to confirm this just means they have to be able to be Kalos bred. IE as long as that Gen IV/V pokemon is not a legendary that's fine, but a Pokemon with an old move tutor wouldn't work. (IE you have to be able to have it with that little Kalos symbol).

 

[Aggrotek]

I will be giving a child of your choice member of my team. I will make sure that it has at least 4ivs and the ability I used.

But, only if you beat me.

 

[Joe Prodigy]

This idea sounds amazing! Time to start training!

 

[Subtervotion]

I will also be doing this.

 

[Maintenance]

I read the rules about flat and single battles, but one thing is still unclear to me: will the battles be at level 50 or 100? Or each Gym Leader will be able to choose?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Note that you can still use Pokémon that could not be found in X/Y before Pokémon Transporter was released, as long as they can be bred (and are therefore easily acquirable). For example, Infernape is allowed, but Azelf is not.

Welp, I'm out.

 

[Hyperactivity]

I'm going to be going after your gym Mich. Flying is mine!

Just have to beat him with an all flying team, right?

In a best of 5.

Typically it will be level 50. Although there really isn't much difference.

 

[Sorian]

This is really cool guys, good work. Makes me a little sad that I dropped my Y playthrough halfway through. I should pick it up again.

 

[Maintenance]

Typically it will be level 50. Although there really isn't much difference.

Thanks. I only wanted to know either I should plan ahead or just train everyone. So level 50 let me get more soldiers ready, while 100 I would rather choose an elite squad and stick with it.

Some Pokemon only learn their best moves at higher levels. So if, by level 50, you have the moveset you want you can just stop.

Ooh hoo, this is going to be fun

 

[Hyperactivity]

Ooh hoo, this is going to be fun

Once I actually finish X and build a team though. All hypothetical PS! stuff now. Backlog is too large and I had a bunch of school work

But I'm still going after you badge, you hear me!

This is a little anticlimatic

Damn, forgot about that.

 

[Fou-Lu]

Hmm, I have yet to build a competitive team in X/Y. Seems it's about time to start doing so.

 

[UltimateIke]

Are any multi battle gym leaders available to battle today? None of the regular people I usually see in the IRC are around at the moment.

backlot and I want to try for some double badge wins.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

This sounds like a radical idea, but I know I'd get wiped so easily.

I will be available at around 11pm EST.

 

[Usobuko]

So, who has completed a battle against a gym leader? Any impression?

 

[hemtae]

This actually sounds kinda neat. Now I really need to figure out where I put my X cartridge.

 

[trixx]

This seems awesome, sign me up. If any of gym leaders are available.

 

[fek]

I'm available right now if you want to do Flat Doubles.

 

[trixx]

sure, lets try once. I'll pm you.

This is such a cool idea.

 

[Crayolan]

This is an awesome idea, I regret not finishing my competitive team now. Unfortunately I'll be too busy to get back to it for a few months.

Well, hopefully we'll still be around in a few months.

trixx won the challenge against me and gets the Volt Badge. As a bonus for winning I gave him a 5IV electric pokemon. Thanks for the challenge!

Congrats on the first win trixx! You win the groundbreaker badge!

Note: that does not exist.

 

[trixx]

Thanks guys that was a lot of fun. Fek was a challenge.

Also is there a limit to how many times you can use a status effect?

 

[ColossalLazy]

UltimateIke won 2-0 against me. GGs.

He earns the Abyss Badge.

For singles 6v6 we are following smogon rules so you can't put more than one of the opponent's pokemon to sleep at the same time. For doubles it's allowed as long as it's not Dark Void.

 

[UltimateIke]

First badge get! One day my avatar will have them all finished.
