2. It must not be hacked ILEGITAMETLY that is capitalized because it would be unfair for others that means no illegal moves that a Pokémon can't learn meaning I don't want to see bidoof's with multitype and judgment.

Clauses:
The certain rules that actually pertain to the battling in a gym. The clauses that need to be followed in each gym is entirely up to the gym leader, so not all clauses will be used at one time.

Species Clause- Can only have 1 of each kind of pokemonin your team. This includes any evolutions of said pokemon.
eg. If you have an infernape, you can't also have a monferno.
(partial species clause simply means you can't have more than 2 of any kind of pokemon, or of it's evolution chain.)

Sleep Clause- This means you may only put one pokemon on your opponents side asleep at a time, using sleep inducing attacks, such as hypnosis. If it is a side effect to an attack, it doesn't count.
(partial sleep cause meaning you can only put a maximum of two of their pokemon to sleep.)

Item Clause- Only 1 pokemon can use a hold item on your team during battle. Soul Dew is allowed, although NOT when attached to latias or latios. Items that affect accuracy, or are in any other way turning the battle into a game of chance are forbidden.
(partial item clause means you can have two pokemon with items on your team.)

One Hit KO Clause- When this is in effect, no pokemon can use a 1HKO move, under ANY exception.

Self KO Clause- This is moves such as explode and self destruct. Moves that knock your pokemon out and deal a significant amount of damage. While the use of these attacks is okay, one cannot use these attacks if it is both theirs and their opponents last pokemon. If the user faints and faints the opponents last pokemon as well, the opponent wins, not the user.

Status Clause- Only up to three pokemon on your opponents side can have a status at a time (excluding sleep and freeze). That means, if three or more of their pokemon do have a status, one cannot use a direct status afflicting move such as toxic. However, an attack like ember, that has a side effect of maybe burning the oppenent can be used.
(partial status clause means up to 4 of their pokemon can be attacked with a status afflicting attack at a time.)

Evasion Clause- As stated in the Item Clause, any items that raise evasion, or lower opponents accuracy cannot be used. However, moves like sand attack, that lower foes accuracy can be used.

Freeze Clause- As with the sleep clause, when this clause is in effect, only one pokemon on your opponents team can be under the status 'Frozen' at a time.
(partial freeze clause means up to two of their pokemon can be under the freeze condition.)
