Arena: Ampersandium
Field Type: And/&
Complexity: Intense
Format: All
Restrictions: No Restrictions.
Description: Here at the Ampers&ium, there is a big ampers& in the middle of the arena, which looks like the ASB Tournament Arena, but what goes on in the arena is heavily influenced by this ampers&. Basically, what this & does is buff everything with & in its name, by move, species, ability, & item. No nicknames, though. Otherwise, go nuts with that Rank 16 Attack Choice B& Rampardos you have always dreamed of using, or that Hippowdon/Excadrill combination for lots of ampers& fun! ^_^
