Welcome to the GYM TRAINER GAUNTLET! Our Monotype Tourney with a TWIST

Monotype Tournament, meaning all 6 of your Pokemon must all include the same 1 typing. (Dual type mons allowed of course)

DITTO, CASTFORM, AND GALARIAN STUNFISK RULE:

Every team is allowed to have DITTO, CASTFORM, and/or Galarian Stunfisk on their team as well.

Protean / Libero mons OG typing must match the type of the team. (Example: Greninja can only be on water or dark teams)

MEGA EVOLUTION RULE:

If your Mega GAINS a typing that aligns it with your team, you CAN use it but you MUST mega evolve it during the match. Example: Absol Z gains ghost typing upon mega evolving, it is viable in Dark or Ghost teams

You will FORFEIT the round if you don't mega evolve them within the round. (Example, couldn't mega evolve Absol because you already mega evolved with someone else). You don't have to mega turn 1 with them, but they have to mega before fainting. Special exception: if the mon swaps in and is KO'd before you get a turn with them, you don't forfeit the round.

Inversely, we are also allowing mons that LOSE the typing. Mega Aggron loses its Rock typing, however they are still playable in Rock type teams.
