Match #8: 31/12/2014
Rules:
BATTLE NAME: Everything happens in Inverse
Format: 3v3
Style: Singles
Chills/Recovery: 5 chills / 2 recoveries
Disqualification: 3 Day DQ / 4 Day Ref DQ
Substitution Rules: 3 + KO Substitutions
Switch Rules: OK
Item Rules: On
Ability Rules: All
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
Mega Evolutions: 1 per team
SPECIAL RULE: The type chart is reversed, making all weaknesses become resistances, All resistances become weaknesses, and all immunities become 2× weaknesses. Freeze Dry's SE effect has no effect and any abilities and moves that alter resistances/weaknesses remain the same.
Rules are simple and intend to showcase the current metagame now that Gen VI came and settled.
Prizes consist of normal battle counters (that's 2 CC per trainer and 1 EC, 2 MC, 1 AC and any gained KO Counters per participating Pokemon). The winner receives 5 UC to spend as well and, of course, will be recorded as a Highlight Match winner!
Reffing
Anyone that wishes to ref this battle may PM me stating their qualifications to ref. I will choose one ref and one subref to avoid problems if the original ref has a conflict. Referees recieve the heightened rewards for gym battles, to represent the stricter DQ time and exceptional work needed to display.
NEW RULE: Referees will now gain 1.5× Normal Pay from matches to reflect the higher standard of the matches.

Well it is time for the battle now and to start, I will tag both battlers and the referee to watch this thread: waterwarrior, Texas Cloverleaf, Gale Wing Srock. In the event that Gale goes AWOL I will take over myself to finish up the refereeing.
As far as teams are concerned, watch out for Froslass on waterwarrior's side. Her Ghost-type STAB will help against half of Texas' team though Mamoswine will definitely give it a run for her money. On Texas' side you should watch out for Snorlax. Snorlax can roll through two members of waterwarrior's team and has coverage to deal with the other though Froslass will give it trouble. Time for the battle I guess?
