COLOSSAL BATTLES

Bring your A-Game to the arena

Rules

The perfect way to practice mechanical combat before a big raid, Colossal Battles are meant to simulate boss combat, and as such all enemy Pokemon are larger, stronger, and have access to multiple moves and phases. Colossal Battles are also a great opportunity to capture Pokemon not normally available during standard gameplay!

This is a modless mechanical battle, with players roleplaying the attacks of the boss according to its specific tactics. Please use the following resources:

• Battling Guide
  
• Rolling Thread (Arena)
  
• Battle Calculator

You may not Upgrade or Refresh during a Colossal Battle, and all higher-level trainers will be scaled down to a listed Tier Cap. If the odds seem impossible, you may concede the battle to receive a +10 Arena Buff as a consolation prize to help with your next attempt.

You (OOC) may only take on a Colossal Battle once per calendar month.

Unless otherwise stated, Colossal Battles have a maximum of 6 Pokemon permitted, split however you like between participants. Multiple trainers may work together, or a single daring soul make take on the challenge solo. As is always the case on UNOVR, a player may only ever have 3 Pokemon out at a time.

Victory & Defeat

You get to choose which Pokemon you're fighting against! Any non-bolded Pokemon on this list is eligible. However, the Rarity of the Pokemon will affect how difficult the subsequent Colossal Battle is.

• COMMON (+0) - Easy
• UNCOMMON (+5) - Medium
• RARE (+10) - Hard

VERY RARE (+15) - can not be selected by players! These Colossal Battles will have unique mechanics designed specifically for each Pokemon. These one-of-a-kind battles will be released periodically as a special challenge for top-tier trainers!

If you win, you may claim either 10 Arena Points or Capture (-25 BYTES) a copy of the Colossal Pokemon you battled (base stage, no evolutions). You must have contributed to the battle to claim a prize.

If you lose, you don't go home empty-handed. In addition to the BYTES earned through posting, a defeat or concession will award you a single-use +10 Arena Buff to help even the odds next time. Make sure to claim this consolation prize when handing in your thread!
