Arena
The Sonata Theatre
Deep in the reaches of Castelia City in the Unova region, is a small corner where the Normal Gym of CAP ASB resides. At least, that's what you were told, but after exploring the city from end to end you have found nothing. You were warned that this gym was particularly difficult to find, but you didn't expect it to be this hard. Frustrated, you decide to stop in for a drink at some random coffee shop to refuel and review the directions you were given. After just a bit more walking, you find a place called the Cafe Sonata, and walk in for a drink. After ordering one, you sit in a corner of the cafe and bring out your map.
While you are reviewing the map, a man walks over and says "Say, you wouldn't happen to be looking for the ASB Gym around here would you?" You nod, and he chuckles a bit "Yeah, a lot of people get themselves lost on the way there, but I can show you where it is if you like." You swiftly take up his generous offer, and the man guides down several streets, until you finally reach a place called The Sonata Theatre. Raising your eyebrow a bit, you explain that you're looking for the gym, to which the man responds with "Yeah, it's here all right, I find it baffling that he set up shop here of all places, but hey, what can you do?" The two of you walk in, and you immediately notice a small poster noting a schedlue. What particularly strikes your interest are the events labeled "Baron Maximus's Gym", to which your guide explains "Yeah, that's the gym leader all right, he puts up a rather interesting performance every week with his gym matches. I'm sure you'll see soon enough."
Your guide directs you into the back of the theatre, explaining that you're one of the challengers for the gym here. In the back, you find a lot of up and coming thespians, stagehands, and other such people getting ready for something. Soon after you enter, a man in a blue longcoat approaches you.
"Ah, Hello, I trust you've found this place without too many issues?"
You shake your head, to which the man responds.
"Ah blast it, how many times do I have to tell the League to put down better directions to this place? Regardless, you're here now, and not a moment too soon. A few things about the arena before we get started. First, you can tell our stagehands to roll out a "Setting" every time you switch Pokemon. Don't worry overmuch about it, it just gives your moves a bit of extra oomph. Next, you'll want to pick out some props for your Pokemon. I have a large list of rules regarding it, but suffice to say it'll change your typing effectiveness just a little bit. That's pretty much all I have to say, just don't try and knock your opponent's props off, we can't have costumes going off in the middle of the production after all!"
Effects in Detail:
The Stage is Set:
1. Every time a Pokemon is sent out onto the battlefield, the trainer must choose a "Setting" to place his Pokemon in. All that is really required here is a typing that is strong in this setting. The setting can be anything the trainer can imagine flavor-wise, so long as it's in good taste. Whichever typing you choose will get +1 BAP for all moves of that type...for both sides of the field. This setting may change every time a Pokemon comes in, even if they have been in before. Important: You MUST choose a setting and specify what effect that setting has, otherwise it will default to a Normal Arena that gives +1 BAP to Normal typed moves.
The Characters Always come Prepared!:
2. Every Pokemon sent out on the field may, if they choose to do so, equip a prop. The props in this arena have a strange effect on Pokemon, and allow them to choose a resistance to gain, but also forces them to choose a new weakness. The prop itself will be equipped in addition to the current held item the Pokemon has, and can be anything the trainer can think of, so long as it's in good taste. Do note that this is not compulsory, and the trainer can choose to not equip a prop. Unlike Settings, these props are permanent and may not be changed if the Pokemon comes out again.
Check out these rulings to make sure you use your Prop effectively if you decide to use one. Be Warned: If you use a prop that violates any of these rulings, then the prop will instead keep all resistances the same, except with a flat 2x Normal Weakness (even overrides immunity).
The Show Must Go On:
3. Because it would be rude to knock off an actor's disguise during a performance, moves, abilities, etc that prohibit, knock off, destroy, or change the position of an item are not allowed.
The Script Must Be Followed:
4. If a Pokemon is forced out by a Switch-Forcing Move or a Red Card, that Pokemon's trainer can choose which Pokemon goes in next. (i.e. If the Leader's Snorlax uses Whirlwind on the Challenger's Lucario, the Challenger can choose whether to send in Slowking or Pyroak next)
A Day in the Limelight:
5. All Pokemon on the field can spend an action and 8 Energy on a Typeless Move called Shine Spotlight. This gets rid of all Evasion Boosts on the opponent and Double Team. If the target is a Ghost type, then the light additionally has the properties of Foresight for six actions, otherwise it acts like Lock-On.
An Even Playing Field:
6. All Moves used by either Pokemon will always have their mechanical typing (the one listed in their description in the DAT). Effectively, moves such as Ion Deluge and Electrify have NO effect in this arena. Abilities such as Pixilate are unaffected by this, and work as normal.
Tl:Dr Version
1. Make sure to set a typing for your Setting every time you send out a Pokemon
2. You may choose a prop to change your resistances/weaknesses by one each.
3. Items cannot be prevented from having their effect.
4. Switch Forcing moves and Red Cards allow the affected trainer to choose which Pokemon comes out, as opposed to it being random.
5. All Pokemon can use the move Shine Spotlight.
6. Ion Deluge, Electrify, and other such moves do absolutely nothing.

The settings, while they have a great effect on Pokemon STABs, are typically artificial, thus the following rulings apply.
a. Nature Power, Secret Power, and other moves that rely on a certain type of field are always treated as though they were in the ASB Arena.
b. Grass Pelt and other abilities and effects are not activated by the setting. (For example, in order for Grass Pelt to work in this arena the user must set up Grassy Terrain prior)

Check out these rulings to make sure you use your Prop effectively if you decide to use one. Be Warned: If you use a prop that violates any of these rulings, then the prop will instead keep all resistances the same, except with a flat 2x Normal Weakness (even overrides immunity).
Rulings:
a. A prop ticks a resistance/weakness either one tier up/down. For instance, a Pokemon that equips a fire resistant prop will have it's weakness shift from 2x to 1x, while it could also intensify his water weakness from 2x to 4x.
b. A prop must either create or intensify a weakness. This means that it can only heighten a type effectiveness that starts at Neutral or Higher.
c. Props do not count as items for the purposes of Fling, Unburden, etc.
d. If an ability interacts with a certain typing (such as Lightningrod) then the Pokemon's weakness/resistance is assumed to be changed according to that ability. (For instance, a Pokemon with Motor Drive would be assumed to have an immunity to electric attacks, while a Pokemon with Thick Fat would be treated as though it had a resistance to Ice and Fire.)
e. Immunities cannot be affected by props at all.
f. Props cannot put a weakness past 4x, or a resistance past 1/4x.
g. The Normal typing cannot be affected by a Prop (basically, you can't say all Pokemon have Normal resistance)
h. Pokemon that can change their typing via abilities (Such as Castform, Kecleon, etc) cannot equip props.
i. Any moves that change the user's typing are considered disabled while they wear a prop. Moves that change an opponent's typing are banned.
j. Mega Pokemon whose typing changes when they Mega Evolve (e.g. Aggron) will only suffer the penalties from a prop that breaks the rulings while they are in the form that breaks the rulings. (For instance, a Gyarados equipped with a Ground Resistant Prop will only incur the 2x Normal weakness while it is in it's Normal form.)

Any wonder it takes so long to get your arena approved when you choose THE MOST COMPLICATED MECHANICS EVER! Seriously I don't even know what the setting and props are going to do and good luck to me in keeping track of it. Thanks Maxim.
Ahem, with that gripe over with let us take a quick look at the teams. Maxim's team definitely shows off some of the strong Normal types out there in ASB. Snorlax is probably S rank (someone really should make an ASB viability ranking some time) while Porygon-Z is nothing to sneeze at and Cinccino is situationally brilliant. Thankfully for all potential challengers some early demonstrations in this generation saw some hasty hotfixes to Mega Kangaskhan. But in this match up its a one two punch of Wigglytuff and Braviary that will look to fix up all those pesky fighting types.
AOPSUser on the other hand goes the expected route of simply bringing three Fighting types. The secondary types of these fighters is important however, with Revenakh totally immune to all of the STABs and the lynchpin called Lucario might pay the most important role. Resisting not only Normal but taking Fairy and Flying neutrally. Then again who in the world knows what happens to type effectiveness in this confounded arena. Also an Aegislash eventually comes along too and it seems to go pretty well against those two as well. Maybe Maxim regrets leaving Diggersby at home? Lets just flip the damn coin and get to it. Heads is for Maxim and Tails AOPS..
