Taken and modified from the Smogon Forum guidelines

The Arbiter RMT section is for when you don't want to show all of Smogon your team, want to get used making RMTs for Smogon, or want to have your team checked by use before you upload to Smogon.

1) Do not post incomplete teams:

Every team must have 6 Pokémon, no more no less. Furthermore, you must list the following element for each Pokémon:
A) Species
B) Held Item
C) Nature
D) EVs
E) 4 Moves

Here is an example of how the format should look:

note: using showdown's exportable format is recommended

2) Describe your Pokémon

Each Pokémon on your team should have a small paragraph describing these 3 things: 1) A reason why you chose that Pokémon, 2) the Pokémon's role on the team, and 3) A short description of its set. Don't forget to mention any usefulness your Pokémon has to your team.

3) Make your post readable

Try to stay away from annoying fonts, colors, and excessive formatting. You should also space your paragraphs to make it less of a chore to read. As I said earlier, using Showdown's Exportable format also greatly helps the reader.

Furthermore, adding pictures above each Pokémon's set makes the thread a lot more appealing to the eye. You can find sprites of every Pokémon on this website: http://pldh.net/

4) Make sure your team is competitive

This forum is dedicated to competitive battling. You may not post teams that are to be used against the AI (a Battle Maison thread can be found here). You may also not post teams that have obvious flaws (for example, Adamant Latios with 4 Special Attacks) simply because you can't access better Pokémon in your game. Threads about obviously non-competitive teams will be locked. Gimmicky or memey teams are allowed as long as they may work in competitive battling.

5) Test your team before posting it

Before you post a team on this forum, you should acquire experience with it. That way you can fix the obvious flaws and make sure the team itself work. If you post a team that hasn't been tested, your thread will be deleted.

6) Include a threat list

All teams are weak to something. To make it easier for your audience to realize, include a threat list for the team detailing the pokemon your team struggle with.

7) Make sure to include the tier your team was built for

There is a tier selector when you're making your post. Make use of it.

Remember that moderators can choose to lock a thread, delete a post, or infract a user at any time for the any reason. Also note that all teams you put up for rate are allowed to be showcased in our team archives as well as being accessible to all Arbiter members (non arbiter members are not authorized to see these). Happy posting!
