I'll ref Wikey v Rediamond. Please send me your teams.
I can ref this if it's not taken already (gladly, it's a simple arena). PM your teams (up to 3 Pokemon) please if you're okay with me. Thanks!
bump...
why are all battles taken when I'm online?
Need a ref for this or it will expire within a day.
I'll ref
PM me your teams
I guess I'm pretty desperate for a battle, so...
OPEN BATTLE
2v2 Singles
DQ: 2 days
0 Recoveries, 5 Chills
Arena: Great Canyon
A narrow part of the Great Canyon. Huge, almost vertical cliffs rise up on both sides, and the jagged rock is very difficult to climb for most Pokemon. It is impossible to access the top of the gorge. The two sides of the canyon are about 10 feet apart, and occasional trees jut out from ledges in the canyon walls. The entire arena is naturally carved out of solid stone, making digging impossible. This place experiences occasional strong winds which knock flying Pokemon out of the air and blow things around a bit.

First battle, hope I do this right!
3v3 Singles
DQ: 3 days
0 Reoveries, 5 Chills
No OHKO moves (Sheer Cold, Horn Drill, etc.)
Arena: Oasis
An oasis in the middle of the desert. There are a few rocks and trees for shade, and a shallow pool of water, shallow enough to prevent Diving. Since it is the desert, it will never Rain or Hail; instead, the weather alters between blistering sunlight (Sunny Day) and flying sand (Sandstorm). On occasion, however, the weather stops briefly, allowing for a clear view of the battlefield.
tl;dr: No diving; at end of each round, 35% chance of Sun (if not already sunny), 35% chance of Sandstorm (if not in effect already), 35% chance of clearing current weather, if any.

I'll try this. PM teams etc.
EDIT: Galladiator, you know OHKO moves are terrible in ASB? They have a base power of 25 but an accuracy of 30% and an energy cost of 16. They don't really need to be banned.

3v3 Singles
3 Day DQ Time
Max 2 Recovery moves & 5 Chills per Pokemon
Arena: Port Town
Based on the Super Smash Bros Brawl arena on the same name, which itself, was inspired by a F-Zero racetrack. The arena itself is a floating platform that is rather narrow: Registering at a measly 3 metres wide (~10 feet for the Americans) & 10 metres long (~33'4" for the Americans). The surface is effectively metal/glass, so the surface isn't diggable. On odd number rounds, this platform is on the ground/racetrack leaving the Pokemon vulnerable to the stage's hazard, which I'll go into later, while on even numbered rounds, this platform is not on the ground & is moving to another part of the racetrack, hazards don't take effect on these rounds, & an invisible barrier is active so Pokemon don't fall off the platform.
Sorry for the long explanation (The hazard in particular), but it's all relevant. All in all, this is a simple arena with a complex hazard. Prediction & Luck with the hazard is critical to victory here.
Anyone wish to battle?

F-Zero Cars.
What they do: Like the stage on Super Smash Bros Brawl, there will be F-Zero cars active on the stage. If they hit your Pokemon, your Pokemon will take a flat 20 damage (30 if the Pokemon either chooses to chill or has lees than 30 energy) & their action for that particular action will not take effect. The only way to avoid this is to use a command on the exact action this happens called "Avoid the oncoming traffic!" If you do make the command & the cars don't come, your Pokemon does nothing for that action. To make things harder, you cannot sub/add "Avoid the oncoming traffic!" if the F-Zero Cars come if the F-Zero Cars come, just to make things a bit harder & more of a lottery. It just so happens that when you start your battle, the F-Zero Cars start their race, where the arena starts stationary just after the starting line with the cars on the other side of the line...
When will they appear: This hazard only takes effect on odd-numbered rounds by chance, however, they are guaranteed to appear on the first round.
On the first Round: The referee rolls a number between 1 & 3 using a Random Number Generator. The number that appears will correspond to the action number on that round that they take effect.
On odd-numbered rounds from Round 3 onwards: Referee rolls a number between 1 & 5 using RNG. If a 1 comes up, the F-Zero cars take effect. This will only take effect once per round. On Round 11, 21 & 31, the RNG roll maximum reduces by 1, eventually resulting in a 1 in 2 chance of said cars appearing in a round, due to the fact that as a race wears on, the field typically branches out.
On even-numbered rounds: These cars will not appear at all.

Singles
3vs3
2 day DQ
2 Recover / 5 Chills
Arena: Mt. Moon
Inside a cave in Mt. Moon. It's dim, but light from the moon beams in through a hole in the ceiling. The hole is on the West side of the room and a group of Clefairy dance in the moonlight. At the end of even numbered rounds one of the Clefairy will use Metronome on one of the battlers. If a Pokémon uses Earthquake there is a 40% chance of a stalactite falling from the ceiling and hitting them.
Restrictions: No water. No Dig.
