Pokemon Battles

Pokemon battles are extremely important to #kun, as it is a central thing that most of #kun can be united around. The most common types of Pokemon Battles on #kun can be divided into Single Battles, Multi Battles, Battle Royals, and Showdown battles. These battles take place in Pokemon X,Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, and sometimes even Pokken Tournament.

Single Battles
Single Battles are the basic type of Pokemon battle, and the type used in normal tournaments. In this type of battle, the battlers each have a team of six Pokemon, and a battle ends when all a battler's Pokemon can no longer battle.

Multi Battles
Multi Battles are a type of Pokemon battle where two teams of two battlers, each controlling three of their Pokemon, battle against each other. One pokemon from each contestant is out on the field at once. The battle ends when all of one side's Pokemon can no longer battle. Series of consecutive multi battles usually end around 2 AM Central time.

Showdown Battles
Showdown Battles are battles that take place on the Pokemon site Pokemon Showdown, rather than on the Pokemon games themselves. It is generally used because of its more quicker accessibility to pokemon of any nature, stats, items, etc.

Battle Royals
A new type of battle mode introduced in Gen VIII were Battle Royals. This would have 4 different people battling at once and the way to win would be to knock out the most pokemon before someone didn't have any pokemon left. The variety in 4 different pokemon and trainers can lead to some interesting results.
