⚔️ Team Building Rules ⚔️

Monotype Requirement: All Pokémon on your team must share at least one type (e.g., a Water monotype team may include Gyarados, Pelipper, and Ludicolo).

Tera Type does not need to match your monotype, but the Pokémon itself must still share your team’s type.

✅ Example (for a Water Monotype team): Pelipper (Water/Flying) – Tera Grass → Legal (because Pelipper is part Water)

Gyarados (Water/Flying) – Tera Electric → Legal

Rotom-Wash (Electric/Water) – Tera Fire → Legal

🛑 But something like:

Salamence (Dragon/Flying) – Tera Water → Illegal on a Water Monotype team, because Salamence is not a Water-type Pokémon.


VGC Rule Set: Regulation H (https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/rankedbattle/regulationh.shtml)


Team Sheet Error policy: Any player that has an error on their teamsheet takes a game loss. If a player discloses the error before the round begins there will be no penalty.


Delay Policy: If for any reason a player is delaying the tournament a judge can force you to drop a match or set at their discretion.


Conduct Policy: These tournaments exist to help players practice and grow. If a player is found to be disrupting/harming another person's experience, judges will either give a warning or drop players depending on how bad the offense is.
