   • (a) A1a Serperior, A2 Dialga
   • (b) A2 Lucario

   • Hydreigon
   • Greninja
   • Suicune ex
   • Magnezone
   • Oricorio
   • ...

4. The following do not count as meeting the theme requirement:

   • Pokémon whose attack always succeeds, but only the additional effect after the attack requires a coin flip

5. The tournament format will be BO1 Swiss, followed immediately by a Top 64 BO3 single-elimination bracket after Swiss.
