So, after my time spent on the plains of Africa, hunting for a plot of land that people are not fighting on, I come across this hut, out near the edge of this shanty-town. "Hmm, seems innocent enough," I mutter to myself, and rush inside to escape the heat, my Geodude, Solid, in tow. After a long stretch of darkened hallway, I find myself suddenly blinded by a sudden burst of light. And as I stumble forward, unable to see, I trip and land at the foot of a chair.
"Ohh sweet, we got a ref!"
I stand up, looking agape. "Ohh, come on..." I sigh, grabbing my pad and pen and settle into what I can see now is a Ref's stand. "Fine then. Have your battle thingy."

Max 2 Recoveries/5 Chills per Pokemon
All Abilities
Switch=ok
Items on
No Attacking the Ref or his Pokemon, lest you be cut
And with that said, let's see what our trainers will be using:The Arena said: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.
