Challenger Rules
You can find the members of the Imperium League in our chat room on Pokemon Showdown.
Signing Up
Anyone wishing to challenge the Imperium League must sign up here. Challengers must provide their username and the six pokemon they will be using to challenge the League. You can not change your moves, items, abilities, EVs, and IVs between battles, your mega pokemon must stay the same. Your team must follow either the OU or the Monotype banlist, but it cannot be a combination of both.
Example: Aegislash is legal on Ghost teams in Monotype. If you challenge the League with a Ghost monotype team, you may use Aegislash. If you challenge the League with an OU team or a Steel monotype team, you may not use Aegislash because it is banned.
