Smogon Frontier - Rules

Battle Rules

Before battling a Frontier Brain, make sure to follow these rules:

• All matches will be standard BW1 OU.
• All matches must be played on Pokemon Online.
• You are not allowed to use Pokémon classified as "Uber".
• All tiers are based on Smogon tiers.
• Species Clause: A player cannot have two or more of the same Pokémon on their team. For example, a player cannot have two Koffings on his or her team.
• Sleep Clause: A player cannot put two or more different opposing Pokémon to sleep using attacks that induce sleep to opposing Pokémon.
• Evasion Clause: A player cannot increase their Pokémon's evasion stat with a move that specifically increases evasion. Items do break this clause, but indirect boosts do not.
• OHKO Clause: Players cannot use moves that have a chance of instantly KOing opposing Pokémon. For example, Horn Drill is an illegal move to have on a Pokémon's move set.
• Timed Battle must be enabled.
