## Challenger Exclusive Rules

* 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 ideas. 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. You will be punished accordingly.
* You may not disclose any Gym Leader teams or counters/strategies in order to beat specific Gym Leaders/Gyms (Jail).
