Open Challenge:
4 vs. 4 Doubles
2-day player/ref DQ
2 recovers/5 chills
Rules: no fully-evolved Pokemon. Middle, basic, and baby forms are all acceptable.
Arena: Old Bomb Factory - A dilapidated, old factory that used to make bombs for some war. No one ended up using the bombs, so they were instead piled floor-to-ceiling and left to rot. They are very old, fragile, and most importantly, active. Unfortunately, our competitors will be battling in a small, cleared-out area of the factory surrounded by these bombs. Any missed physical attacks have a 75% chance of striking a bomb, causing it to explode and doing 10 damage to the attacker. Any missed special attacks have a 75% chance to explode 2-5 bombs behind the opposing team for 2 damage apiece on both opposing Pokemon. Any missed status moves have a 50% chance of defusing all the bombs behind the opponent's team. Any multi-target moves like Rock Slide, Earthquake, and Blizzard have a 20% chance of setting off all the bombs in the Factory, doing 25 damage to all Pokemon on the field.
Other than that, the roof has collapsed over the years, so sky-based attacks like Moonlight, Thunderbolt, and Sky Drop can still be used to their full potential. The four walls of the factory are far away, meaning the only horizontal impediments will be the walls of bombs surrounding the 20'x20' battlefield. Don't sprint or get thrown too fast in any direction, or you may hit a bomb (ref's discretion)!

2v2 Doubles
2 Day DQ
No Recovers/Chills
LC ELIGIBLE MONS ONLY
Arena: Smoke Factory
This factory manufactures a strange substance: poisonous smoke. This smog is present all over the arena, making it quite hard to see for Pokemon that don't have evolutionary traits that allow them to see; this results in a 15% (flat) reduction in accuracy for Pokemon that are unable to see, regardless of distance. Because this smoke is poisonous, all Pokemon that are not Poison or Steel-typed have a 25% chance to become badly poisoned at the end of each round.
=================================================
In addition, it would be nice if someone reffed the battle between AlphaJolt and I (acceptance post #2801)

Acklow
I am always tired. Don't bother me.
Alright I challenge shadowbone66 to a REMATCH!!!!
1v1 Singles
3 Day DQ
Arena:
The Outback
This is the outback. I don't have much to say other than this:
It is the Australian Outback. There are cactuses (or is it cacti?), plenty of soil to dig into and Sunny Day is always in effect. There is a slight chance that a Sandstorm will occur (40% chance), and when it does, it lasts for a furious 5 Rounds. Water Types do not thrive in these conditions, thus have a 5% chance that their attacks fail (Water type moves, that is). Ice Types are even less suited, so they have a 10% that their attacks fail (Ice type moves, that is). Water and Ice type attacks are nerfed by 1 Damage in this arena as well. Grass and Fire types thrive, so they get a 1 Damage boost to each of their respective attacks (which does not stack). Ground and Rock types receive 1 less Damage (this does not stack) in these conditions.
Cacneas, Cacturnes, Maractus's, and Kangaskhan all live in this arena. Each time a battling Pokemon get's hit, they may have a random chance encounter with one of each of these Pokemon (10% Cacnea, 5% Maractus, 3% Cacturne, and 3% Kangaskhan). These Desert Pokemon will use, Absorb, Giga Drain (Cacturne), Mega Drain (Maractus), and Drain Punch, respectively.
(Don't these rules look like the rules to my ASB battle with Flora? OF COURSE THEY DO!!!)

Okay, so it seems that Woobly Cabbage has dropped off the face of the internet, so I'm going to try something rather... Stupid, really.
I CHALLENGE DECK KNIGHT!
2v2 Singles
3 Day DQ
1 Recovery/ 3 Chills
Arena; Sky Tower Top
Open-air. About 50 metres by 80 metres of boulder-littered space. Weather changes erratically every 3 Rounds between Sunshine, Rain and Clear Skies. Earthquake and Magnitude are ill-advised, due to the age of the structure. Dig is impossible. And don't worry about falling; Altaria are flying around 4 stories down, to catch any pokemon that fall and put the back on the top floor.

Dropping my match with shadowbone66 to issue an Open Challenge.
4 vs 4 Doubles
1 Day DQ (Players)/3 Day DQ (Ref)
2 Recoveries/5 Chills
Arena: Bounce House
A open-topped house with very springy walls and floor. Pokemon may bounce off these walls, but attacks (outside of punching and kicking moves) cannot. The castle absorbs impact, is off the ground, and has no nearby source of water, disallowing Earthquake, Magnitude, Dig, and Surf. Weather is fine since the roof is open. Any time an attack misses it inflicts 1 Damage Counter to the Bounce House; when it reaches 3 Damage Counters, the house will pop and deflate, reducing the Speed and Accuracy of all Pokemon by a flat 10%. The only exceptions to this are pure Ghost-types and the Gastly line, who can move through walls and retain full freedom of mobility and accuracy. If a sharp attack (e.g., Stone Edge, Twineedle) misses, the Bounce House deflates instantly. The Bounce House will be repaired and reinflated two rounds after it is popped.
SPECIAL RULE: Only Pokemon allowed in Middle Cup (2nd stage in a 3-stage evolutionary line) may be used, since it's a safety hazard for Basic Pokemon and fully evolved Pokemon are too large.

Yup, we're going to Think With Portals in this battle.
GLaDOS has decided to let two trainers inside the Testing Facility in order to test the effects of Pokemon on various Aperture Science products.
The room is 50*50*50.
There are two intersecting lines if Propulsion Gel lining the center the the room, with Repulsion Gel at each end.
Aerial Faith Plates are scattered throughout the room, except they have been cunningly redesigned to mimic normal panels. If a Pokemon steps on one, they will be suddenly flung through the air.(5% chance of panel being AFP)
Ever since the events of Portal 2, the Facility has been in an...unstable condition. Therefore, GLaDOS wants to prevent too much damage to the structure. If the ref and/or GLaDOS deems that the line has been crossed, (which could happen fairly easily, as the panels that make up the room are fairly fragile) then the offending Pokemon gets a small burst of Deadly Neurotoxin. This works like Badly Poison, except it gets its own counter.
The computer could also set up a few turrets to attack the Pokemon at the end of each round, in random positions. (15% setting up 1 turret, 10% setting up 2 turrets, 5% chance setting up 3 turrets)
Turret
Type: Steel
Ability: None
Stats:
HP: 35
Attack: Rank 3
Defense: Rank 2
Special Attack: Rank 3
Special Defense: Rank 2
Speed: 75
Attacks:
Rapid Fire(Steel, Multi-hit, 3 Base Power per hit, Physical, No Contact; a quick stream of bullets is expounded at foe)
Note: Turrets can only attack when opponent is in front of them. Turrets are also quite light.
Yup. Complicated battlefield, I know. Hope I can find an opponent, let alone someone crazy enough to ref this.
