You will need to register a complete team of 6 in order to enter the tournament. Once you have entered with this team, you cannot change its members, items, or stats.

Players will battle with 4 Pokemon in each match. Before the battle starts, the player has to select the Pokemon that they wish to bring.

Time Limits

Total Time	Player Time	Move Time	Pokemon Selection Time
20 minutes	7 minutes	45 seconds	90 seconds

Listed above are the time limits for each stage of the battle. If the timer runs out before either player can run out of Pokemon, the match may be decided by other factors such as number of Pokemon remaining.

Warm-Up Challenge Team Building Guide

Pick Pokemon With Synergy

Sample Battle Team
Attackers	Mega Froslass	Sneasler
Supports	Incineroar	Whimsicott

Since this tournament is in the Double Battle format, it is important to use Pokemon that can work together effectively. Strategy is key in 2 vs. 2 battles, and bringing Pokemon that are individually strong will likely not be enough.
