And here's a different potential Gym Leader's (ToastTyrant13) Team;
So IAR sends out declare abilities, and Toast must pick his 2 pokemon+abilities, and actions, then IAR responds with actions, and the whole thing falls apart from there.
Issuing 2 Open Challenges
Challenge #1
2v2 Doubles
2 Day DQ
2 Recoveries/5 Chills per Pokemon
Using FE Mons
Arena: Terra Cage
Field Type: Ground
Complexity: Moderate
Format: All
Restrictions: All Weather moves bar Sandstorm will fail, No Water Source, no Natural Grass, Limited ceiling
Description: Terra Cage is a rough, indoor, desolate place that despite its hard, rocky surface, can be dug into. It is about 50x50m in length & width, & it is 30m high. The main mechanic here that gives Ground Types an advantage here is that when Sandstorm is used, it randomly fuses itself with the mud that can be found in some places around the arena, & the Sandstorm turns into a Mudstorm.
During a Mudstorm, at the end of every action, anything that isn't a Ground Type takes 3 Damage, +/- 1 for each time they are weak to/resist Ground (Flying & Levitiate is considered Neutral, Pokemon with Overcoat/Magic Guard don't take any damage). In addition, all non-Ground moves used by non-Ground Pokemon have -1 Accuracy. Any Ground-Type Pokemon that have abilities that activate under Sandstorm will activate under a Mudstorm.
Summary: Anything mentioned in the Restrictions, plus Sandstorm will turn into a Mudstorm when used.
Challenge #2 sucks, because I'm not reffing it.Accepting IAR's Challenge #1
