Alright so the first thing to learn is the OP (or Original Post) of the fight. It will be the first post that starts the thread that your fight will take place in. This post here will contain the rules for the fight, the pokemon you have chosen or your team, and the pokemon your opponent has chosen for their team, so that you can easily look at the stats/abilities/movepools of all mons. This post will also list any special conditions of the fight such as who sends out first when that isn't clear, or any starting conditions relevant to the arena. So first off I will list the rules for the match:
And these rules do not change from the posting in the battle tower (or wherever the fight originates from), so you don't have to worry about them getting switched on you or anything. Next up will be the Challenger's team. The challenger is whoever issued the match challenge, be it through a direct challenge to someone in the Battle Tower, an open fight that someone picked up, or even posting a challenge in IRC. So since you are the one that issued the challenge to me, your team will be first:
Team Fish:

Nature:
Modest
Type:
Normal: STAB; +1 BAP on attacks that match dominant arena type after 3 actions. Unable to have Thrash or Outrage disrupted by oncoming damage.
Abilities:
Run Away:
Type: Passive
This Pokemon is quick on its feet and will evade any field traps and hazards that would harm it (Spikes, Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes) in an arena. A Pokemon can still absorb Toxic Spikes if it has Run Away and is Poison-typed. Run Away does not allow the Pokemon to switch out of trapping moves or abilities, however it can escape other situational trapping strategies in battle.
Adaptability:
Type: Passive
The moves that match this Pokemon's type have their Base Attack Power increased by two (2).
Anticipation (DW):

This Pokemon is better at sensing dangerous attacks, and reduced the Base Attack Power from super-effective attacks, Self-Destruct, and Explosion by two (2).
