Assault on Tokyo
Field Type: Neutral Complexity: Moderate Format: Any Restrictions: All Pokemon have a size class of 7 and a weight class of 12, all attacks ignore weight restrictions, random pokemon gets attacked by the SDF at the end of every round
Description: The battlefield is Japan's capital in all of its entirety, from the heart of Shinjuku all the way out to the city limits. How could both trainers' pokemon possibly find each other in such a crowded metropolis?
When the pokemon are 500 feet tall, that's how.
In short, we're playing Godzilla here. All pokemon are treated as if their size class was 7 and their weight class 12. Furthermore, any weight restrictions on attacks (such as psychic) can be ignored for this battle. There's enough seawater to use water attacks, enough vegetation (natural or otherwise) to use Grass Knot, and enough buildings/tanks/laser cannons to serve for certain rock moves.
Lastly, At the end of each round, RNG one of the pokemon currently in play. The Japanese self-defense force will attack that pokemon for a fixed 10 damage.
Posting an open challenge.

Requesting a training battle to test my new arena.
Field Type: Neutral Complexity: Intense Format: All Restrictions: No Digging
Pick the Greek and the Persian either randomly or by agreement.
- Only bring the amount of Pokemon they can send in in the battle, so in 2v2, for example, they can only bring 2 Pokemon
- No Chill or Recovery
- All Pokemon get +1 to each rank (Atk, Def, Spa, Spd), and +10 HP and Spe
- All energy usage is halved
- Every seven rounds, at the beginning of the round the Greeks get reinforcements. A random one of their Pokemon is fully healed and gets +60 Energy.
- Prayer
At the beginning of every round, the Greeks may chose to make a prayer to one of the Olympians. They chose to do so at the beginning of the round when they order. No energy costs are halved. All costs are taken off of an active Greek Pokemon of the Greek’s choice.
Olympian - Cost - Benefit
Zeus - 10 EN - A random opponent is hit by Thunderbolt off of a rank 4 Spa.
Poseidon - 10 EN - All opponents are hit by Surf off of a rank 2 Spa.
Hades - x EN - A random opponent is hit by Toxic. The condition goes away after x/3 rounds.
Hera - x EN - you heal x/2 HP.
Hestia - 10 EN - A random opponent is struck by a Mystical Fire off of a rank 3 Spa.
Athena - 15 EN - Gain an extra Substitution this round.
Ares - 15+x EN - One random Greek Pokemon in play gains +2 attack rank for x actions.
Apollo - 15+x EN - All physical non-contact moves used by the Greeks gain 15% accuracy for x actions.
Artemis - 20 EN - The next attack made by a random female Greek Pokemon will automatically crit.
Demeter - 10 EN - A random opponent is hit by a Bullet Seed that hits 3 times off of a rank 4 Atk.
Hermes - x EN - All Greek Pokemon will go first in their priority bracket for x/10 turns. If multiple are in the same bracket, they will move based on speed.
Dionysus - x HP - The Pokemon gains x/2 EN.
Hephaestus - 10 EN - A random opponent is hit by Flamethrower off a base 4 Spa.
To make a prayer, you must say so in your orders. The format is:
Prayer(God)(Pokemon cost is taken from)~A1~A2~A3
If there is a variable in the cost, the format is:
Prayer(God)(Pokemon cost is taken from)(Variable)~A1~A2~A3
So if I wanted to make a prayer to Dionysus off of my Sunkern and regain 5 energy, I would write:
Prayer(Dionysus)(Sunkern)(10 HP)~A1~A2~A3
- Can bring the normally legal amount of Pokemon (so 3 in a 2v2, for example), AND CAN USE THAT MANY
- Infinite Chill and Recovery
- Energy use is doubled
- Prayer Substitutions
The Persian can make a substitution based on if the Greek prays of not. The Persian can do:
IF Prayer THEN ___, which will activate any time the Greeks pray.
IF Prayer(God) THEN ___, which will activate any time the Greeks pray to that God
IF Prayer(Pokemon) THEN ___, which will activate any time the Greeks pray, with the cost being paid by that Pokemon if it’s Greek or with the effect hitting that Pokemon if its Persian.
IF Prayer(Variable) THEN ___, which will activate any time the Greeks pray with that variable.
Or any combination of the above, ex. IF Prayer(God)(Pokemon) means that in order for the Substitution to activate, the Greeks have to pray to that God, with the cost being paid by that Pokemon if it’s Greek or with the effect hitting that Pokemon if its Persian.
Description:
Thermopylae is a narrow mountain pass in eastern Greece. It is the only way to travel along the Balkan peninsula, and therefore a key strategic location to anyone wanting to attack Greece. To the west are mountains and to the east is the Malian Gulf. On the Persian side of the pass are the floodplains of the Spercheios River, and on the Greek side is a direct route to Athens.
It is only natural, therefore, that the pass would be the site of several battles. The first and most famous of these battles took place in 480 BC. Ten years ago, the Persian army had been dealt its first defeat in battle in over three centuries, at the hands of the brilliant Athenian general Themistocles. After the battle, General Datis ordered a Persian retreat. King of Kings Darius I began planning a new attack, with he himself at the helm. However, a rebellion in Egypt lead to his death, and he was succeeded by his son, Xerxes. It fell to Xerxes to launch the attack, and he did so, launching an invasion in the spring of 480, from Sardis. After crossing the Hellespont, Xerxes set off for Athens.
He encountered no real resistance until September of 480. His scouts had located the first Greek layer of defenses, a mere 7000 Greeks defending the pass at Thermopylae. Xerxes failed to listen to his generals, who suggested that he should attempt to negotiate with the Greeks, or find another way to Athens. He allegedly said (translated from Persian), “I am Xerxes the Great, King of Kings, Ruler of the Four Corners of the World! Not the Greeks, nor the Egyptians, nor anyone else can stand in my way, as they did to my weak father! I will not negotiate with my rightful subjects!” And so, Xerxes decided to attack the Greeks with the full force of the greatest war machine the world had ever known.
The Greek force was under the command of one of the greatest warriors in the history of the Greek people, King Leonidas I the Brave of Sparta. What he lacked in caution he more that made up for in charisma, rhetoric, and skill. Indeed, Leonidas was supposedly the descendant of the great Greek hero Hercules. He had recieved a prophecy from the Oracle at Delphi:
For you, inhabitants of wide-wayed Sparta,
Either your great and glorious city must be wasted by Persian men,
Or if not that, then the bound of Lacedaemon must mourn a dead king, from Heracles' line.
The might of bulls or lions will not restrain him with opposing strength; for he has the might of Zeus.
I declare that he will not be restrained until he utterly tears apart one of these.
The prophecy told him that either he, or Sparta, must perish. When Themistocles gave the order to retreat, and pull the Persians into a trap at Athens, Leonidas came up with a better idea: He would defend the pass with a token force of Spartans. He knew he could hold out for many days, allowing Themistocles to build his ambush. This is how the battle of Thermopylae began.
The small Greek force of 7000, including 300 of Sparta’s best, held the pass for seven days against a better armed Persian force of two million, the largest army in a single battle in the history of Persia. At the end of the seventh, the Persians found a small pass, enough for only a few soldiers, and attacked the Greek’s rear guard. The Greeks would still have held out, however, as they had posted expert snipers at the pass, who could defend it against any amount of Persians long enough for a messenger to reach Thermopylae and for reinforcements to arrive. The messenger, however, was bribed by Xerxes, and betrayed the Greeks, allowing Xerxes to defeat the Greek force from the rear.

Other stuff: Standard.
Field Type = Neutral
Complexity = Moderate
Format = Multiples!!!
No Restrictions
The battlers are on a solid platform in the middle of a giant bowl filled with delicious broth. No move restrictions at all, because you can safely go seismetoad on the platform and there is plenty of broth to swampert your enemies with. In the soup, there is one of each letter unown floating in around aimlessly. They are all close enough to pick up, and a battler may use one action each round (they can't just use three unowns) to use any move that begins with that letter. Once an unown is used, it cannot be used again.

Arena: The Frozen Throne Field Type: Ground Complexity: Moderate Format: Multiples Restriction: No Water Source
The Frozen Throne, the dreaded seat of power of the Lich King, is a large ice platform upon the top of a giant spire. An invisible wall surrounds the platform, preventing any Pokémon from falling below. However, it is highly unadvisable to fly too much above the arena, because the strong winds generally cause the unfortunate mon to be blown away (which would result in the Pokémon being effectively knocked out).
An interesting feature of the Frozen Throne is its soul siphon. Whenever a Pokémon deals 30 or more damage in a single round, he acquires a Soul Fragment at the end of the round. The Fragment can be used at the start of the next round to get one of the following effects:
- Restoring 10 Energy. This effect does not consume an action.
- Powering up an attack, causing it to deal 3 more damage. The user must declare which attack will be powered up (for example, he could issue the following order: Tackle - Thunder Wave - Tackle (powered up) ).
The Soul Fragment must be used in the round it gets available or it is lost (so, you cannot store it up). If the Soul Fragment is not used in the turn it is available, the user takes 10 flat damage caused by the fragment exploding.
