I looked through the suggestions and I would be surprised if this wasn't in some capacity suggested already but I couldn't find it so I figured I would make one. If it's a duplicate or code wise not possible please let me know.
We've had a recent renaissance so to speak of newly developed formats and or tournaments with custom rule sets such as the current SV Ubers no species clause tour, DPP RU Tour, and there's many others you can find throughout the site that do not have and most likely wont have challengeable formats in the future. Currently the validator will validate based on the standard ruleset of the format you're building in. My suggestion is to have an extra option to validate via a challenge code. So in the screenshot below the ruleset for the DPP RU tour requires the following code defaulting to DPP nu as base format "/challenge gen4nu @@@ +Absol, +Aggron, +Altaria, +Chansey, +Claydol, +Cloyster, +Drapion, +Entei, +Espeon,+Exeggutor, +Hitmontop, +Lanturn, +Ludicolo, +Miltank, +Nidoking, +Slowbro, +Steelix, +Tangrowth, +Ursaring". If I was to "Validate" with the regular code it will indicate Cloyster is banned, it's UU by default in DPP, but this is a hypothetical format in which Cloyster would be allowed via usage if DPP RU existed. The Validate Via Custom Code button or whatever it would end up called if it went through would allow me to see if the team is valid via the custom challenge code for the rules of the tour.
I think this would also help with some non-challengeable old gens where you're forced to put something like a Gen 1 LC team into say Gen 1 PU, or a BDSP low tier into BDSP OU such as this BDSP NU game. With the extra validator you can confirm with the challenge code (whatever code the tier would use) to make sure it adheres to the rulesets of that older format if forced to put the team into a higher format in the builder.
Thank you in advance.
