Tiers Information, Gym Rules & Clauses

Our gyms are run by NPCs and due to their abusable AI, there are rules and clauses set in place in order to give players a more challenging and eventful gym battle, and to prevent players from easily sweeping through them with cheap strategies. The mentioned clauses have been tested and are reasonably held, but could be subject to change in the future.

The five tiers Basic, Standard, Advanced, Nightmare and Player all have different rewards for defeating the gyms, and they get progressively better as you challenge the harder gym leaders.

Tips and Strategies
These gyms are harder than before especially as you reach Advanced gyms onwards. Prepare accordingly as they will not mess around and will defeat you if you go in without a plan.
Use healing items to help you. If you are really struggling to recover health against a Pokémon then utilize items such as potions and berries to give your Pokémon that chance of a comeback. You're allowed to use up to 2 of each type of healing or reviving item during the gym battles. This can help you to finalize a win. Furthermore, you can also use battle items such as Focus Sash and Choice Scarf on your Pokémon too.
EV Train. By going to /warp evtraining you can train your Pokémon's effort values and increase their battling potential by giving them an edge in battling. We highly encourage you use them. Your Pokémon do not need to have perfect IVs to beat the gyms but EVs are a must if you wish to compete against the Advanced or Nightmare gyms.
Level train. Go to Mirage Island by using the command /warp mirageisland and train your Pokémon. More information on Mirage Island can be found here.[/spoiler]
