• You may not borrow Pokémon from other players in order to challenge gyms, they must be your own Pokémon that you have trained with your own ideas.
• If you’ve purchased a Pokémon in a trade you may still challenge a gym as long as it follows the previous rules.

• You may only use Pokémon that align with your gym type.

Gym Team Budgets:
• When applying, Gym Leaders will receive a budget. The budget applies to any Pokemon that you want spawned in for your gym team, if you spend your budget on 5 Pokemon, you will need to get the 6th Pokemon yourself. This means you can spend heavily on a few Pokemon if you want to get some of the others yourself or if you already have a good Gym Pokemon.
• Alternatively, if you already have 3 of your 6 mons you would have a bigger budget as you only need to spend it on 3 mons
• The budget of Gym Leaders depends on the Gym type you are applying for:
Monotype: $900,000 Dual Type: $1,200,000 Omni: $1,500,000.

• You may not frequently AFK as it detracts from everyone's experience.
• Upon two weeks of inactivity, your Gym Leader status will be revoked. If Staff Members are notified beforehand, an extra two weeks of grace period may be granted.
