For an effective report you need to produce the following:

1. A video of the match. The video will need to show the entire screen (see demonstration of full screenshot above).The video will most likely need to be uploaded to a website, such as youtube, so that it can be linked.

2.Screenshots will also need to show the entire screen. For violations, show a SS of you mentioning to the reported player that there has been a violation of the rules, and point them to the rules.

For more information on how to take screenshots, see the demonstration above posted by cam

3. If your video or screen shots are not full screen, they may be discarded and your report will be voided

4. If you’re familiar with how to use the dev tool, save your .har file and send it to a mod via dm on discord.

Tournament Rules as of March 20 2023 (game server time)

1. The use of the following pokemon are not allowed:

A.Mega Gengar with Shadow Tag ability (If a player attempts to switch out a pokemon on the turn Gengar evolves to Mega Gengar, it is unable to do so.)

B. Mewtwo (Calculation error in coding makes it faster than it should be.)

c. Mega Abomasnow ( completely bugs the battle)

2. The use of the following moves are not allowed:

A. Synchronoise (This move hits all adjacent pokemon that will share a type with user, so using this move. If the pokemon using this move is a dual type, such as Normal/Flying, it will hit a Flying/Dragon, but the oppossing pokemon is Steel/Electric it should NOT hit the pokemon however in PLG it does.)

B.High Jump Kick (There is no recoil damage to the pokemon using the move.)

3. The use of pokemon with the following abilities are not allowed:

A. Tough Claw (The ability Increases damage by 30% to all attacking move instead of only contact moves)

B. Leaf Guard (The ability allows the user to be immune to Status Condition on any weather instead of only during Harsh Sunlight)

C. Defiant (The ability raises the user's Attack stats by 4 stages when hit by a stat-lowering move such Charm, Tickle, and Captivate instead of only 2 stages)

D. Flame body ( Causing bug that allow the user to burn opposing pokemon that use non-contact physical moves)

E. Static (Causing bug that allow the user to paralyze opposing pokemon that use non-contact physical moves)

4. Only 1 legendary pokemon is permitted in a team .This includes the following:

Mew, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Latias, Latios, Heatran, Giratina, Cresselia, Phione, Manaphy, Shaymin, Victini.

5.The use of Damage boosting items along with multi hit moves is banned (Both can be used separately but not co-existing)

6 Sharp beak equipped to Talonflame is banned (sharp beak can be used with other pokes)

7. Faint Switching is not allowed.

What is faint switching? Say Brad and I are battling, I have a charizard and blastoise remaining with the charizard on field, and Brad has a venusaur on field. I kill the venusaur using the charizard, but PLG allows me to swap to another pokemon, such as blastoise. If I choose blastoise instead of charizard, I would have fainted my opponent’s pokemon (venusaur) and switched pokemon. This is called a faint switch. If the game asks you to switch and you know your pokemon did not faint, switch back to the original pokemon you had on the field. This also applies to switching in an already fainted pokemon.

8. No refreshing the game once tournament has started, this includes in between matches. The only exception is if your opponent agrees with you refreshing.

9. If you’re in the tournament arena and the tournament has not started, please ensure all players were not present from the previous hour. If a player was present in the previous hour and had not left the room yet, ask them to leave the area then return. Ensure you take screenshots or videos of the conversation.

10. Farming tournaments is not allowed.

Reason: It is against the PokemonLegend Gods rules.

Under #2 "Using multiple accounts in order to provide an advantage to you over other players, for example in tournaments, using alternate accounts to increase auctions bids, etc."

If you suspect a player is farming tournament wins, report this to the mods. Include the names of the player, time of tournament (using system time [/time in English Chat]) and the type of tournament they were present in (starter, intermediate, advanced, expert or masters), as well as any screenshot evidence you have.

11. If the system does not match you in the finals and both players have confirmed they have received system confirmation of progression, a manual PvP request will need to be sent. If you are not in the master tournament, a no experience stone will need to be placed on your pokemon or they will gain experience. However, it is your choice whether or not to put a non experience stone on your pokemon or not. If you choose not to accept the manual PvP request, you will need to leave the tournament arena. [This is a rare instance situation]

To check whether you have received the system confirmation, you should see the following message from System in English Chat:

Masters League: Kyro is through to the next Round
