3. When voting, consider the metagame impact of each Pokemon relative to the impact of the Pokemon within the ranks they have been nominated for, as well as the ranks you may believe to be more fitting for them. If something can perform much better than a majority of the Pokemon held in, for example, C Rank, does it deserve to be put in C Rank?

4. Please vote honestly. Even if your vote would determine a Pokemon's rank, you should vote based on the rank you wholeheartedly believe it deserves, rather than voting higher than you believe it deserves just to get it one rank higher.

6. If you wish to vote at a rank that is +/- 3 or more ranks of a Pokemon's current VR rank (for example, voting A+ or C+ for a B+ Pokemon), reasoning is required, in order to necessarily explore the different perspectives of VR council members.
