I'm going to need a few more matches to build up my team. This field is good for 2 of my battle slots.
4vs4 Doubles (Open Field)
2 Day DQ
2 Recovery/5 Chills each
Arena: Pokemon Chess Board
Open Field: An opposing trainer may send any of their Pokemon onto an Open Field. The initial trainer's Pokemon are all selected beforehand.
The Pokemon Chess Board is an intricate arena, the effects of which change based on the Pokemon used. It is set on an artificial field consisting of alternating 8x8 black and white squares about 5 square feet each. All Attacks can be utilized, as the chess board will create any necessary element for the attack. Be warned that effects will disappear after each action and will have to generated from scratch, so the arena for example cannot be flooded out, even if Rain is summoned. Weathers still last their full duration and have all their other battle effects.
The Arena benefits or handicaps players based on the Pokemon they select in the following ways:
- If one player has more fully evolved Pokemon than the other, each of that player's Pokemon will lose one Rank in each stat (including HP), as well as 20% of their speed.
- If a player's active Pokemon share like weaknesses, all of the shared weaknesses of that player's active Pokemon will be reduced to 2x, regardless of their ordinary severity.
- If a player's active Pokemon share like STABs, the STAB bonus of that STAB is increased by 1.
- If a player's active Pokemon share like Attacks, the Base Attack Power of those shared attacks is increased by 1.
