 Each Cup has different rules and regulations on things such as [[level]]s of the entered Pokémon, [[move]]s used, [[held item|items held]], and even the species of the entered Pokémon.
-All of the cups have the same format: The player will pick out six of their Pokémon from their [[party]] or [[Pokémon storage system|boxes]], then go on to the challenges. There are eight battles before a cup is won, and each of them require the player to choose three of their Pokémon to face three of their opponent's. If a match is won without any of the player's Pokémon [[faint]]ing, they will receive a continue which will allow them to re-challenge once if they lose to a future trainer in the same set of eight.
+All of the cups have the same basic rules:
+*The player must enter with six Pokémon. All Pokémon must be different and hold different items. With the exception of the Challenge Cup, the player may select Pokémon from their [[main series|game pak]] or [[rental Pokémon]].
+*The player must select three Pokémon to battle. If the match is won and none of the player's Pokémon faint, a Continue is received.
+*Eight trainers must be beaten in a row to win the Cup. If a player loses a battle, a Continue may be used to re-challenge the last opponent.
+*No two Pokémon can be asleep at the same time. (Pokémon that are put to sleep due to {{m|Rest}} do not count.)
+*No two Pokémon can be frozen at the same time.
+*If the player's last Pokémon uses {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, then the player loses even if the opponent's last Pokémon faints. {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} also fail when used by the last Pokémon.
-Challenging the cups with Pokémon owned by the player (as opposed to [[rental Pokémon]]) allows for use of the [[box trick]], provided said Pokémon are drawn from the boxes rather than the party.
+Most of the cups in Pokémon Stadium were based on {{game|Yellow}}'s Cable Club. The Petit, Poké, and Pika Cups were first introdued in Yellow's Colosseum 2, while the Prime Cup was based on the free battle rules of normal link cable battles.
-The Petit, Poké, and Pika cups were first introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, if a player was battling another Yellow version. The Prime Cup was based on the free battle rules of normal link cable battles, with a few restrictions. Quite fittingly, it was these four cups which were the four official cups of Pokémon Stadium.
+Six new cups were introduced in [[Generation IV]], four of which have very similar rules to four of the Stadium Cups of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]]. For a listing of them and their rules, please see [[Stadium Cups in Generation IV]].
-Six new cups were introduced in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], four of which have very similar rules to four of the Stadium Cups of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]]. For a listing of them and their rules, please see [[Stadium Cups in Generation IV]].
