• - For gyms, the challenger may run a permitted legendary, if the leader is also running a legend, which is indicated by a green [L] next to the leader’s name. Otherwise, Leaders must use Legendary Clause.
• 
  
• - Gym Leaders: Mega evolved Pokémon that share a type with the gym, must mega evolve the first turn they are on the field. (Ex. Mega Charizard X may be used in the Dragon gym as long as it's mega evolved on the first turn it's thrown out in battle; Mega Altaria cannot be used in the Flying Gym.)
• 
  
• - Challengers must ALWAYS start with the Pokémon thrown out first, and they are not allowed to switch that choice.
• 
  
• - If your opponent disconnects unexpectedly during battle, wait a few minutes and do not heal or alter your Pokémon. If they rejoin, resume the battle from where you were.
• 
  
• -Challengers MAY NOT "borrow" another person's team for the sole purpose of defeating a gym. You must train your own Pokémon. If you’ve purchased a Pokémon in a trade you may still challenge a gym as long as it follows the previous rules. Gym Leaders may still disqualify you if they feel you’re using a Pokémon/team that’s not yours. For example, if you’re using the same team & strategy that a Gym Leader lost to the previous day, they may see fit to disqualify you.
