Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Alright, I have a battle slot open and the worst idea.
Format: 2v2 single
DQ: 1 week
Damage Cap: 30%
Banned/Restricted Moves: OHKOes, Direct Recovery moves, Substitute, Sleep-inducing moves
Arena Description: THE TRAINTASTIC QUEST FOR PIZZA
EDIT: The battle is now a 2v2. JackPK and I will both use our Honedges as our openers, then we plan to have Jack's Froakie Sheena versus one of my type neutral mons (Jupiter the Drifloon or Frog the Croagunk probably).

Arena Description: THE TRAINTASTIC QUEST FOR PIZZA
Jerome the Swablu said he has leftover pizza and can’t finish it. In fact, he has exactly enough pizza to share with one(1) Pokemon. Jerome lives really far away though, so you’ll have to take the train. Jerome’s train.
The train is composed of seven carriages, at the end of every round the unruly passengers (unruly because you keep attacking things near them and oh my god you nearly hit a baby you monster) will attempt to shove you off to another carriage. The two battlers’ health and energy will be averaged (as in total health + total energy then divided by 4) and a random number between 1 and 60 added to it. If Pokemon’s total is greather than the passenger’s specified totals then they get to stay in the carriage.
The seven carriages and their passengers are:
Blue: The economy carriage, right at the back with the bathroom right freaking there. Everyone one here is kind of timid and doesn’t really want to speak out because maybe they can just stomach it before they get there. Of course, there are some who stand out from the pack. 50% chance that the passengers will have a 45 removal total, but a 50% chance they’ll have an 85 removal total.
Purple: The aristocracy lounge here. Well, that’s what they think. The carriage is populated by a group of people who willfully suspend the belief (high above their heads, in fact) that they are indeed the uppermost of the upper class. This is not true, but their rented suits for a train journey will not deter them. Passengers here will not tolerate any indecency, but are normally tolerant of plebian games. They have a 60 removal total that goes up for any loud or unruly move that is used. Just as well, because while they’re tolerant, they’re very much fakely so. They hold themselves so highly that all Pokemon in the carriage gain the Flying type in addition to all other types.
Green: The train’s greenhouse. Jerome actually has it powered by PLANT POWER, and when he says plant power he means they’re just electrical wires in the shape of plants hooked up to the engine. That’s not to say Jerome didn’t go all out. The room is rife with dangerous fake plants and their plasticy, oily stench. There’s a 40% chance that a Venus Wire-trap will fix itself on a battler at random, preventing the use of all physical moves. The battler may spend an action attempting to tear off the Wire-Trap. There is also a 40% chance that instead of a Wire-Trap, a Sun-Flower will emerge and soak up all special moves for the round, and can be destroyed using an action. This arena effect is calculated as soon as the battlers exit the previous carriage, and is told to the trainers before they give their commands for the round taking place in the Green carriage. The power plants have a 60 removal total. However, on every re-entry into the room, both the individual chances for the plants to hinder a battler and the removal total will go down by 10.
Orange: All the children are kept here. Every round spent in this cabin deals 5% typeless damage to each Pokemon present. There is also a 15% chance on each action that the Pokemon will be unable to perform its move because THAT UNATTENDED BABY IS OPENING A WINDOW. Upon leaving the carriage, the trainers will be absolutely pooped, and the Pokemon will get random orders for their next action. Passengers here love Pokemon, a lot, any kind, and have a 90 removal total.
White: This room is blindingly white. Like really, really white. All battler’s suffer a -1 Accuracy penalty. All trainers also have a 30% chance on each action to point their command at the wrong Pokemon on the field(i.e their opponent’s). If given their opponent’s order, the Pokemon will be considered to have access to the ordered move for that action. The room is empty but the doors are painted white, so they have a 70 removal total.
Violet: This is the carriage of true aristocracy. So true that they aren’t actually here because what kind of respectful filthy-richer would ride on a train? Disgusting. All that’s in this room is a really big jet made of solid gold, one of the spares of a regular train rider (but don’t tell his friends). This room is very cramped and any moves that don’t require the user to be a meter from their target will fail. It’s kind of hard to get out of this room, so battlers will stay in it for two rounds.
Black: It’s the train driver’s birthday party! He’s an old coot so he has a lot of friends in his lifetime, most of them being passengers. The room is absolutely brimming with people, all of them wearing conductors’ hats. Pokemon start on top of one of each of the people’s hats and have to jump about between the gaps in the throng, lest they fall in and take 5% typeless damage and are shoved grumpily back to the top. At the end of the round the party ends and everyone returns to their cabins, so the Pokemon are forced out no matter what.
The Roof: WHY ARE WE UP HERE OH GOD. HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE BECAUSE A ROUND IS ONLY TWO ACTIONS OVER HERE. THE REMOVAL TOTAL IS 80, AND IF THE POKEMON FAIL THE REMOVAL ROLL THEN THEY TAKE 10% TYPELESS DAMAGE EACH. AAAAAAAH.
The battlers will begin the battle in a random carriage (except the roof).

Arena Description: The Dream World
For reasons unknown, two battlers and a referee have found themselves in the Dream World, where mysterious energy is affecting the very environment around them. The battle begins in the Pleasant Forest, and at the end of every round there is there is an equal chance that the surroundings will shift to a random area, as outlined below.
Pleasant Forest: Bug-, electric-, grass-, and poison-type moves have their energy costs reduced by 1% after all calculations are applied. A river and a stony path provide resources for moves like Surf and Rock Slide.
Windswept Sky: Flying-type moves have their energy cost reduced by 1% after all calculations are applied. Pokemon that cannot fly or levitate must stand on clouds, from which they can use the move Bounce to avoid attacks and cause damage. Water-bound Pokemon are considered to be levitating in this case.
Sparkling Sea: Water-type moves have their energy cost reduced by 1% after all calculations are applied. Non-water-types can breathe underwater, and every action each Pokemon has a 5% chance of discovering a pearl on the sea bed, which are retrieved and redeemable for a $1 bonus each.
Spooky Manor: Dark-, ghost-, and psychic-type moves have their energy costs reduced by 1% after all calculations are applied. If a Pokemon deals more than 15% damage to its opponents in the same round, there is a 50% chance that a friendly ghost will be impressed enough to hit a random opponent with an attack dealing 5% typeless damage at the end of that round.
Rugged Mountain: Fire-, fighting-, ground-, rock-, and steel-type moves have their energy costs reduced by 1% after all calculations are applied. Damaging moves that ordinarily have no additional effects have a 20% chance of lowering a random stat of the target's.
Icy Cave: Ice-type moves have their energy cost reduced by 1% after all calculations are applied. The floor is slippery, giving all land-bound Pokemon a 10% chance each action of avoiding all moves aimed at it for a penalty of 3% typeless damage.
Dream Park: Normal- and fairy-type moves have their energy costs reduced by 1% after all calculations are applied. The soothing atmosphere here will lower the severity of all status effects, or remove them entirely if their severity is low enough.
In addition, there is a 10% chance that a random Pokemon will gain its Hidden Ability in addition to all other abilities. If it already has its Hidden Ability, it will have a random stat raised by 1 instead.
Additional Rules: Only not-fully evolved Pokemon allowed.

Arena Description: ETERNAL DIMENSIONAL VOID
YOU HAVE ENTERED A DIMENSIONAL VOID somehow. This isn't your normal eternal void, though. It actually has a floor and a ceiling and walls (except they're all invisible)! You feel and look like like you're floating in space, even though there is most definitely a floor under you. After flinging yourself against a wall, you determine that the walls are entirely invisible as well.
After carefully throwing around all of your belongings, you have determined that the "room" is large enough to hold quite a few of even the largest legendaries with ample room for movement. After spending a short while in the room by yourself, you feel oddly ...powerful? You can't tell exactly what it is about this place, but there's a lot of mystical magical energy here. A pokemon would almost immediately recognize it as the energy that they usually utilize to evolve, except this energy is way stronger.
Due to being exposed to this powerful energy, every pokemon will turn into a random legendary at the end of each round. For the first round, the pokemon will be their original species and will only "evolve" at the end of the round. Typing, movepools, appearances, and abilities will all shift to that of their newly-found form, while status effects and stat changes will remain the same. (However, if a burned pokemon turns into a Fire-type or a poisoned pokemon turns into a Poison-type, then these status effects will disappear upon "evolution".)
Since the arena is filled with ~mystical magic~, any moves requiring outside sources (such as Surf or Rock Slide) will have any needed resources appear immediately when needed. They will disappear once they have been used. Fish pokemon can magically breathe in this dimensional void.
Additional Rules: this is a terrible idea and it's gonna be hilarious

The battle takes place in the Gateway Galaxy, as it appears in Super Mario Galaxy. Gravity's hold is significantly less powerful, though attacks that make use of the ground will briefly intensify gravity for the sake of the battle. Battlers can traverse freely between any of the three planets:
- the starting planet (featuring several large boulders, a patch of flowers that pokémon under a foot tall can hide in, thus raising their evasion by one stage, and bunnies that take an action to catch but restore the trainer's choice of either health or energy by 2%)
- the black hole planet (upon which moves that that cause recoil to the user or knockback to the foe will toss the respective pokémon into the black hole, dealing 7% dark-type damage (ref's discretion here; recoil doesn't necessarily mean damage recoil))
- or the metal planet (featuring a tall spire that, if hit with an electric- or fire-type move, will paralyse any pokémon standing on the planet's surface within that moment).
None!

I can't find any good pictures of the top of Mt. Battle, but hopefully you get the idea. The only special rule is that you can't fall off of Mt. Battle because magic.
Additional Rules: Attraction and confusion can cause at most one failure to move and then will immediately wear off; otherwise they last at most one round. Sleep lasts at most one round. After being inflicted with any of these status conditions a Pokémon cannot be affected by them again (unless the condition is self-inflicted).
