Rules:

  • Sets will be Best of 3 with Open Team Sheets
  • The tournament will consist of Swiss Rounds leading into an x-2 Top Cut
  • (Swiss Rounds may be subject to adjustment based on entry count)
  • The tournament will be played in Pokemon Showdown with NO TERASTALLIZATION
  • The custom format ruleset will be based on Champions NatDex, meaning that Mega Evolution IS LEGAL. Because of this, it is recommended to build in the Champions Natdex Draft tab in the Pokemon Showdown Teambuilder
