First battle, decided to go straight for the actual battling soon I got approved.
Beginner Battle
1 Pokemon per side
Singles battle
3 days until DQ
1 substitution
No recovers or chills (want this to be a quick battle)
Arena, as found on this post.
Type: Fire/Water/Ground/Ice (based on current weather)
Complexity: Intense
Format: Probably all, but built with Singles in mind
Restrictions:
Randomized weather, no manual weather changing At the end of every turn/period of actions (or whenever the ref feels fit, if (s)he so decides to change it) the weather is randomized. Randomized weather can change the course of a battle. Each weather has a 25% chance of happening. Of course, weather moves and abilities have no effect, as this is indoors and the weather is controlled purely by technology.
Dig priority -3 Tough walls and flooring make Dig have a priority of -3.
Moves restricted based on weather Surf and Dive may only be used in rain, Grass-type recovery moves (I.E Leech Seed) only in sun, Blizzard only in Hail (basically a guaranteed miss in non-hail, not just a miss chance), and attacks with the word Sand, Mud or Muddy (like Muddy Water) may only be used in Sandstorm. In return, each attack in this list's priority is increased by 1 (so 0 priority to +1 priority).
-3 Priority for air-based moves Due to the huge coaster overhead, Fly, Bounce and Sky Drop have a priority of -3 each in order to prepare and make sure the move user doesn't hit and ruin the ride.
Description: At Koffing Amusement Park, or KAP, there is a very quirky ride tucked between the Koffing Cones stand and Combee Hive: the Castform Coaster, an indoor roller coaster full of loops, twirls, and, as the name suggests, constantly changing weather. Well, simulated weather, but it works the same way as the authentic. This weather changes randomly at regular intervals; first it's sunny, then a sandstorm rages, followed by hail taking over, and so on. The coaster itself is controlled with power generated by a Castform's Thunderbolt and Weather Ball, but you're not battling on the ride, oh no. You're battling below it.
KAP likes to hold random battles with randomly selected trainers all over the place, and under Castform's signature ride is no exception. You and your competitor have been chosen to have a battle for the spectator's enjoyment, and are preparing to duel it out with your Pokemon of choice. The randomized weather will certainly make a big impact in this indoor attraction's battle, and a mascot dressed as Castform sitting inside a booth will decide it with the RNG his smartphone has accessed. With an equal chance of each weather, a good roll can turn the tide of a battle; a surprise Sand Rush activation or Ice Body heal-up can make all the difference. However, unlike everyone's favourite Poke-meteorologist, it's not all about the weather. The well-constructed walls and floor, flashing lights and marvelous ride overhead also may make an impact of a battle, and the most important thing in any battle, strategy, is still vital. You just need to utilize the weather, whether good or bad, wisely to control the battlefield and, ultimately, the battle completely. "Best of luck to both competitors!" a voice booms via the speaker system. "Five... Four... Three... Two..."

Accepting the above.
Items = Training (amulet coin, exp share, etc...)
Ability = all
I'll be using Snowman the Skitty.
Skitty [Snowman] (Female)
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA)
Type: Normal
Normal: Normal STAB; adapt comfortably to any surrounding after 3 actions. Able to use Outrage without losing focus.
Abilities:
Cute Charm: Innate. This Pokemon’s natural cuteness causes Pokemon of the opposite gender to be attracted to it 30% of the time after striking with a contact move.
Normalize: Can be Disabled. This Pokemon has mastered Normal-type attacks and can change any attack type to have a Normal energy signature. All attacks used by the Pokemon are considered Normal-type attacks, although they retain the same status-inducing and other properties. The Pokemon's Normal-type attacks will have four (4) more Base Attack Power.
Wonder Skin (DW, Locked): Innate. The Pokemon's skin has an agent that heavily resists attempts to change its composition. It changes the accuracy of all non-damaging attacks to 50% before applying any other modifiers.

Open Challenge
4v4 Doubles FE
2 Day DQ/3 Days for ref
2 Substitutions
Arena: Center Stage
Description: This arena is a reasonably popular arena where crowds gather to see a different type of battle. You see, they don't want to see any standard issue stuff like at the ASB Arena, they want battles with flair, creative moves, and intensely close calls. As such, in this arena roleplaying actions are more likely to work. Additionally, the ref can modify the arena as he desires (within reason, no teleporting to another dimension) to either cause pain to the competitors or open up new roleplaying opportunities. For instance, he could have a tent appear over the competitors thus allowing them to use the poles to smack each other or even bring the tent down and muck everything up.
As for the arena itself, it's a fairly simple battlefield. The competitors are on the top of a platform about 50 ft in the air, surrounding a simple moat with no water (though the ref can modify this as he so chooses). This platform is a square measuring about 50 yards on each side. On each side of this platform there is a ladder that can allow a Pokemon in the moat to climb back up. Whether this takes an action or not is up to the referee. The floor is white, although some grass covers the arena allowing Energy Ball and similar moves to work at full effectiveness. The arena is contained within a cavernous area, but the sun shines through the ceiling giving ample light. All moves are allowed.
Summary:
Roleplaying actions are easier to pull off
Referee can modify the arena within reason
All moves are allowed
If knocked into the moat, ref decides whether climbing back up takes an action or not.

Reposting this challenge.
Eh, Wynaut. I'll be at a disadvantage, seeing it's the first battle for the two Pokemon I'm battling with, but they need training anyway. Accepting IceSpade's above.
Because I'm lazy, I'll just post the team I'm battling with here.
Obviously, Illusion will not be active as it would be fairly useless considering all my Pokemon will be active at once in a 2v2 Doubles.
Zorua [Red Spy] (M) (*)
Nature: Adamant
Type: Dark
Dark: Dark STAB; immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better
performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Abilities:
Illusion: (Innate) Whenever you send this Pokemon out, it can feign the appearance of another member on your squad. If this Pokemon is damaged by a direct attack, the Illusion will cease at the end of the round. Direct damage is any attack that does damage to the Pokemon's HP. Attacks that are evaded, blocked via Protect, or damage a Substitute are not considered direct damage. It will retain the typing and moveset of the Pokemon with Illusion. [Usage Note: PM the ref if you are sending out a Zorua or Zoroark with the info on Zorua/Zoroark and one of your squad members in a Switch=KO battle. You must use that squad member later in the battle though.]

All moves are allowed. At the end of each round, a random type is chosen to be inverted, which reverses weaknesses and resistances except for immunities with retain their immunity. Abilities that cause a weakness to the chosen type will retain the weakness, while the same holds true for abilities that grant resistances as well. If a type is chosen twice in a row, the move effectiveness on that type will return to normal.
I am on this like white on rice.

Arena: Center Stage
Description: This arena is a reasonably popular arena where crowds gather to see a different type of battle. You see, they don't want to see any standard issue stuff like at the ASB Arena, they want battles with flair, creative moves, and intensely close calls. As such, in this arena roleplaying actions are more likely to work. Additionally, the ref can modify the arena as he desires (within reason, no teleporting to another dimension) to either cause pain to the competitors or open up new roleplaying opportunities. For instance, he could have a tent appear over the competitors thus allowing them to use the poles to smack each other or even bring the tent down and muck everything up.
As for the arena itself, it's a fairly simple battlefield. The competitors are on the top of a platform about 50 ft in the air, surrounding a simple moat with no water (though the ref can modify this as he so chooses). This platform is a square measuring about 50 yards on each side. On each side of this platform there is a ladder that can allow a Pokemon in the moat to climb back up. Whether this takes an action or not is up to the referee. The floor is white, although some grass covers the arena allowing Energy Ball and similar moves to work at full effectiveness. The arena is contained within a cavernous area, but the sun shines through the ceiling giving ample light. All moves are allowed.
Summary:
Roleplaying actions are easier to pull off
Referee can modify the arena within reason
All moves are allowed
If knocked into the moat, ref decides whether climbing back up takes an action or not.
Taking this match! PM your teams!

Reffing this. PM mons.
Did people forget about this or something? We still need a ref.Eh, Wynaut. I'll be at a disadvantage, seeing it's the first battle for the two Pokemon I'm battling with, but they need training anyway. Accepting IceSpade's above.
Because I'm lazy, I'll just post the team I'm battling with here.
Obviously, Illusion will not be active as it would be fairly useless considering all my Pokemon will be active at once in a 2v2 Doubles.
Zorua [Red Spy] (M) (*)
Nature: Adamant
Type: Dark
Dark: Dark STAB; immunity to all telepathic and telekinetic attacks, better
performance in all darkened and especially twilight conditions. Can use any Dark-type attack regardless of Attraction.
Abilities:
Illusion: (Innate) Whenever you send this Pokemon out, it can feign the appearance of another member on your squad. If this Pokemon is damaged by a direct attack, the Illusion will cease at the end of the round. Direct damage is any attack that does damage to the Pokemon's HP. Attacks that are evaded, blocked via Protect, or damage a Substitute are not considered direct damage. It will retain the typing and moveset of the Pokemon with Illusion. [Usage Note: PM the ref if you are sending out a Zorua or Zoroark with the info on Zorua/Zoroark and one of your squad members in a Switch=KO battle. You must use that squad member later in the battle though.]

The Tower of Heaven is an ancient structure that stretches deep into the clouds, the heavens, and far beyond. It is composed of a material similar to rock, but far more durable and nearly impossible to break. Most of the structure is open-air giving a good glimpse of the clear sky. Moss and other small plant life have grown on the outcropping on the rock-like material with small butterflies flying about. There are small streams and pools of water within the structure for Water attacks and Water Pokemon. The battle will take place within one of the many chambers of the tower.
All moves can be used within the Tower of Heaven. However, there is a catch. Within my hands is the Book of Laws. At the end of each round, I'll write down a new law. The laws restrict what attacks, actions, or commands you may or may not take in battle. Violation of any law in battle will still allow you to perform the command, however the offender will be struck down with a lightning bolt that deals 10 damage flat and ignores abilities, weakness, and resistance. The lightning bolt cannot be deflected, dodged, evaded, or otherwise blocked. It will hit the Pokemon behind a Substitute, find its way through Double Team, and will go through Wonder Guard. Pokemon that are immune to Electric attacks by ability or typing will still be struck down and will gain no benefit such as Motor Drive's Speed boost. Violation of multiple laws in an action will drop down multiple lightning bolts on the offender depending on how many laws they've broken in a given action.
For instance, Pikachu decides to use Thunderbolt on a Staryu. If I restrict the usage of Thunderbolt, Pikachu will be smote once for 10 damage. If I restrict the usage of Thunderbolt and all Electrical attacks, Pikachu will be hit twice for 20 damage. Finally, if I restrict the usage of Thunderbolt, Electrical attacks, and super-effective moves, Pikachu will be struck thrice for 30 damage.
If there's any questions or need clarification on anything, PM me.
Summary: All moves can be used initially, however new laws added in each round will restrict what commands can be used. Violation of any law will be penalized with a lightning bolt dealing 10 damage flat ignoring typing and abilities. Combatants can be penalized multiple times in an action.
Teleportation Corollary: If this arena is picked randomly as a result of arena effect, then the ref is free to generate up to three rules for the combatants to follow until a new arena is chosen.
You choose the rest.

Also, you may wish to consider changing the arena to ASB Arena. While I'll go with anything you choose, we may have a hard time getting refs like this. Your choice though.

I thought it was triples +
Ok, sure, just the ASB arena then. How many recovers / chills? Just 0/0?
Did someone ask for an insane reff? Nah, I'm sane, actually - I just want a large battle. Taking if you can extend the DQ to 3 days for reffs - and you'd probably make my day, too, if you two can drop a PM with your teams saying "we've decided to change to Singles/Doubles".Someoneelse and Maxim said:
