PokeBlast Gym Rules (applies to both leaders and challenger):
Always be nice and welcoming to Challengers of your gym
It’s highly recommended that your team is fully IV and EV trained
If you apply for gym leader you are responsible for accepting battles. You may not frequently afk and you may not reject challengers without good reason. Ask a staff member if you are unsure.
All non-omni leaders have priority for battle requests. If you need someone to take a battle for you, you may ask in /gl
Upon two weeks of inactivity, your Gym Leader status will be revoked. Please talk to a staff member if you wish to have that time extended
If you want to discuss a Gym Leader's application, please be constructive and only comment on their Pokemon team. Let character and behavior be determined by staff
