List of Contents
Draft Pick has three phases, namely: Ban Phase, Pick Phase, and Preparation Phase.
Draft Pick Phases | |
---|---|
Ban Phase | • Each player in each team will vote on one Pokemon to ban. • The Pokemon that receives the most number of votes for each team will be banned. • The banned Pokemon from each team cannot be selected by any player from both teams for the battle. |
Pick Phase | • Each team alternates in picking a Pokemon to play. The order of picks is as follows: [1] The very fist pick will be from the first player of the team that's on the top in the lobby screen. [2] The second pick will be from the first and second players from the other team. [3] The third pick will be from the second and third player from the first-pick team. [4]The fourth pick will be from the third and fourth player from the other team. [5]The fifth pick will be from the fourth and fifth players from the first-pick team. [6]The last pick will be from the fifth player from the other team. |
Preparation Phase |
• Players will get about 20 seconds to equip their Held Items and Battle Items before the match begins. • Players from each team can see what items their allies equipped during the phase. |
Each player from each team gets to vote on a Pokemon to ban. The Pokemon from each team that has the highest votes will be banned.
All players will be unable to select the Pokemon that has been banned for the match.
Unlike in normal matches, once a player from a team selects a Pokemon, the other team can no longer pick that Pokemon for themselves. This encourages teams to prioritize and secure a Pokemon for themselves.
Players from each team can request to switch picking positions with one of their allies during the Picking Phase, allowing the team to pick a Pokemon earlier in the phase.
