Player Gyms

The main gyms in Obscuros are run by players. For NPC gyms, see Gym Leader Castle.

Use **/gyms** or **/badges** in-game to teleport to gyms and check your progress.

# Gym Battles Info

Gym Battles are fought with all Pokémon levels automatically set to max, so you can bring any level of Pokémon. Some gyms are **3v3**, others are **6v6**. You can challenge Gym Leaders in any order.

# Rules

* Gyms use the Obscuros OU rules for bans and restrictions
* Held Items **are allowed**
* Restoration/Bag Items **are not allowed**
* Gym Leaders will set the battle rules
* Team preview defaults to on, but individual leaders may choose to disable team preview for their battle
* You may retry a gym up to **3 times per day** if you lose
* You must wait at least **1 hour** before retrying a gym

# Gym Rechallenges

Gyms can be rechallenged **after you have beat them once**, and after at least a day has passed. Gym rechallenges have a special rule that varies by gym to make it more of a challenge for those attempting to rechallenge. Succeeding in the rechallenge will earn you a textured Pokémon exclusive to that gym.

You can see a list of Pokémon obtainable from gym rechallenges on the Custom Textures page.

# Elite Four & Champion

After defeating 8 Gym Leaders and obtaining their badges (as well as reaching Cooltrainer with /**ranks**), you will be able to take on the League. You will need to defeat each of the Elite 4 - Poison/Dark, Ice/Water, Ghost/Ground, and Dragon/Steel. They can be challenged in any order. If you are defeated you must wait at least one day before re-challenging that same Elite 4 member.

Once you have defeated all 4, you can challenge one of the past Champions. A list of all valid Champions can be found in the **#competitive** channel in the Obscuros Discord. Upon becoming Champion, the player will receive the exclusive Obscuros-textured Arceus.

## Champion Rules

* If a player loses their challenge to a Champion, they must wait 3 days to re-challenge any Champion.
* Champion battles must take place in the Champion Arena in the center of the Elite Fourtress. Only valid Champions and challengers may enter the standing platforms.
* **As a Champion taking challenges**, you can verify if a player is a valid challenger by checking whether they can stand on the Champion Arena platform. If they can, they may challenge you. If a player beats you in a Champion battle, use the command **/GiveChampion <player>** and then post that they defeated you in the **#competitive** channel in the Obscuros Discord. Be sure to spell their name perfectly, in both cases!
* Champions taking challenges should also check the **Champion's Log thread** in the **#competitive** channel in the Obscuros Discord to ensure their challenger is not still on their 3-day cooldown.

# Obscuros Masters

The Obscuros Masters can only be challenged by becoming Champion once and earning 16 gym badges (not counting E4/Champion "badges"). They can be challenged in any order. Conquerors will become Obscuros Grandmaster and get the exclusive Obscuros-textured Giratina.

## Obscuros Masters Rules

* Challengers must follow Obscuros OU rules, but the Masters may use 1 Uber-tier Pokémon.
* If you lose there will be a cooldown of 3 days until you can challenge the same Master again. However, you are free to challenge other Masters during this time.
* To challenge an Obscuros Master, you must use **/ChallengeMaster <player>** to verify to them that you are eligible for an Obscuros Masters battle.

# Applying

You can apply to be Gym Leader in the Obscuros Discord, in the #gym-leader-applications channel. Make sure to use the application format in pinned messages. There is also a list of gyms there. Check which gyms are in need of a leader with **/gyms** in-game. Gyms can have 2 leaders, if there's already a primary leader you must ask the current leader for permission before applying. For more info, check the pinned post in the application channel. *(You must be in our discord to be a gym leader, there's no workaround)*
