A Complete Overview of Rules on Pixelmon Realms

This is something that's been suggested to us multiple times over the years and finally we have delivered. This is a complete overview of all the rules that are found within the Pixelmon Realms server so players have a reference to what is allowed and what isn't. Please be aware that this won't be 100% perfect as there may be a couple of mistakes, or things that have been left out accidentally but we will do our best to keep this guide updated and relevant as much as we can.

Punishments issued out is varied between what rule(s) have been broken on the server so please keep that in mind as this guide will not include what punishment will be issued out for each specific rule broken however I will go over other info about it if we may need to reverse or remove items/pokemon from a player for it. If you are unsure if something is allowed on the server or not please contact a staff member to get confirmation before doing it and risking a punishment.

In-Game Rules

These are the rules that players will have access to at any point within the server by doing /rules, /rules 2 and /rules 3 respectively. These generally cover most of the rules that are found on the server as even if a rule isn't specifically stated in this list, generally it can fall under one or multiple depending on what it is.
