This thread is meant to be a collection of arenas battlers have enjoyed battling in. For ease of reference, of course. No one wants to search through 300 threads to find 1 arena. Let's keep them all in one place.
Just some guidelines for posting arena information:
Field Type more or less influences what moves can be used in the arena and what type Nature Power becomes. It is basically a terrain.
Complexity indicates how difficult it is to battle in the arena (or how difficult it is for the referee to do his/her job).
Format indicates what type of battle the arena is best suited for. Some are great for singles. Others are better for Multiples. Some shine in all formats.
At the end of the arena, there is usually a summation of effects associated with the arena, for ease of battling and reffing.
So without further adieu...

Field Type: Neutral
Complexity: Simple to Driving-The-Referee-Batcrap-Crazy
Format: Singles
Restrictions: None
Summary:
When a Pokemon is first sent out, its Trainer can declare any number of specific abilities. That pokemon gains the declared abilities for the remainder of the battle at the cost of 2 EN per ability.
Pokemon cannot have duplicate abilities. Meaning, for example, that a Pokemon cannot have two (2) or more copies of Strong Jaw on it.
All Abilities gained through the Arena's effect are treated as though the Pokemon naturally received them.
Banned Abilities / Restrictions:
Receiver, Power of Alchemy, Trace. (Why would you want these abilities? You are already granted access to nearly all abilities. These are pointless.)
Battle Bond is valid only for Battle Bond Greninja and Ash-Greninja
Forecast is valid only for Castform.
Gulp Missile is valid only for Cramorant
Hunger Switch is valid only for Morpeko.
Ice Face is valid only for Eiscue.
Mimicry is valid only for Galarian Stunfisk
Mold Breaker is valid only for Pinsir, Mega Pinsir, Mega Gyarados, Mega Ampharos, Cranidos, Rampardos, Axew, Fraxure, Haxorus, Pancham, Pangoro, Drilbur, Excadrill, Throh, Sawk, Basculin, Druddigon, Hawlucha, Rebble, Tactite, and Crucibelle.
Multi-type is valid only for Arceus.

Zen Mode is valid only for Unovan Darmanitan, Unovan Darmanitan Zen Mode, Galarian Darmanitan, and Galarian Darmanitan Zen Mode..
In most cases, an ability that copies an ability is banned due to redundancy and an ability that changes a pokemon's form is banned due to most pokemon not having that form. Mold Breaker, Teravolt, and Turboblaze are restricted to the pokemon that get it naturally to encourage ability combinations. If you want to stop solid rock, filter, anticipation, overcoat, sturdy, then you have to bring a natural Mold Breaker and Neutralizing Gas Pokémon.
