Rules on How To Battle Other Members & How to Battle on Missions.

Rules on how to fight against Other Member's Pokemon:

1. When battling, you CANNOT have your Pokemon always dodging, If they're Paralyzed, they're obviously going to get hit more often (unless of course, your pokemon is say, the 'Shed Skin' ability). Also, When you use Protect/Detect/anything of that nature, you may NOT use it more than TWICE in a row.
   
2. When using a 'first-strike' attack to flinch the opponent, Think of the games, you can only use it your first turn, the only exception is when you send out another Pokemon.
   
3. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP TRACK OF YOUR POKEMON'S HP!!!

Rules on Fighting Trainers/Wild Pokemon in Missions:

Trainers:

1. Same as above, except for one thing, depending on the trainer's Pokemon, don't always let yourself win*!!!

Wild Pokemon:

1. Finding the Pokemon you want is not easy, it will depend on the Area the Mission is in*.
   
2. If you want to catch the pokemon you run into, you must make it somewhat of a challenge*!

(*)Example: Your Opponent has a Charizard, you have an Ivysaur, who's gonna win?
(*)Example: You're not going to find a Lantern in the desert, right?
(*)Example: You're facing a wild Dragonair, you don't weaken it and you throw a Pokeball, you're NOT going to catch it the first time around. Make it so maybe it dodges, or maybe it breaks free of the Ball.


~Battle Examples~ (Please note, your Battles do NOT have to look like this)

Normal Member vs Member Battle:
"Rita! Use Poisonpowder!" Mark said, Rita nodded and sent over a poison cloud towards Dragoon.

"Dodge!" Dragoon did just that, "Now, Wrap and follow up with a Thunder Wave!"

Bayleef wasn't fast enough and caught by Dragoon and was then paralyzed.
Bayleef HP: 55/60

"Now, use Dragon Rage!" Allen said, and Dragoon did just that.

"I was hoping you'd do that..." Mark said, and Rita's leaves began to glow. "Bay Bay!" Bayleef started to shake her body, throwing off Dragoon. "Rita! Use Razor Leaf!" Bayleef began throwing leaves from her forehead.
Bayleef HP: 15/60

Dragoon rolled over, and shook its head, only to be hit by several leaves.
Dratini HP: 20/41

Mark laughed. "Is that the best you can do?" He asked mockingly.

"Dragoon, finish this with a wrap and then follow up with Dragon Rage." He said, knowing full-well that Mark's Bayleef couldn't dodge. Dragoon did just that.

The Dratini wrapped himself around Rita and Dratini used Dragon Rage once more and Rita fell to the ground. "Rita!" Mark cried, pulling out her Poke Ball. "Return." He said, "You have a good rest." He said, putting the poke ball away.


Mission Trainer Battle Example:

A Team Shadow trainer (not always going to be from Team Shadow) has confronted you! "Go! Gabite!" The Trainer says, releasing a Gabite into Battle.
HP of Foe Gabite: 70

"Very well. Do it, Shelgon!" You say, releasing your Shelgon. "Shelgon, use Dragon Rush!"
HP of your Shelgon: 65
