Standard Battle Rules

When someone says standard rules and us noobs are like... ok what does that mean...

This is standard rules is my own words

SLEEP CLAUSE

You can't use sleep inducing moves in opponent's Pokémon when there's another Pokémon in his/her team asleep. Yawn can't be used to PseudoHaze (make opponent switch) when there's another Pokémon asleep caused by you (rest does nto count since that is self-induced). When the asleep Pokémon awakes or faints, you're free to make another Pokémon of his/her team asleep. Sleeping being caused by Effect Spore or Rest are disconsidered from Sleep Clause, which is pretty awesome, but it is frowned upon to use strategies such as effect spore + spore Breloom.

SPECIES CLAUSE

You cannot have more than one of the same pokemon in yur team, but you can have different evolutions. e.g two Scizors are not allowed but you can have a Scizor and a Scyther.

HACKS CLAUSE

Pokemon that surpass the individual limits of 31 IVs and 252 EVs, and the overall limit of 510 EVs are banned. Do not use them, nuff said.

EVASION CLAUSE

Moves that raise evasion such as double team are banned.

OHKO CLAUSE

Moves that definately OHKO when they hit are banned, these are Guillotine, Fissure, Sheer Cold and Horn Drill

HAX ITEM CLAUSE
