Christmas Battle Melee! VGC Style!
No Players: 32
Type: 1v1
Description:
It's time to get into the holiday spirit, right? It's not here!
This year in Bulbagarden battling, it's all about taking! Battles, glory, and prizes!
Don't think it's just like our other tournaments, however... for a special time of year, we need a special kind of tournament! So feast your eyes...
We will be playing a slightly altered version of VGC style!
Here are the rules:
* Each player must enter 4–6 Pokémon into the tournament.
* Each player must enter 4–6 held items For their Pokémon.
* During the tournament, players may only use Pokémon and held items that they entered.
* Each Pokémon entered must remain in that player’s party for the duration of the event.
* The Pokémon and held items entered may not be changed once the player has registered for the event.
* Players may change which held item a Pokémon is using between matches only if both the Pokémon and the held item are entered.
* Each match will use the 2-on-2 format.
* The battles will be auto level 50.
* A player’s team may not contain two of the same Pokémon.
* Each Pokémon in a player’s party may use held items, though no two Pokémon in the party may hold the same item. Items allowed include held items from Pokémon Platinum Version and earlier video games, including Berries 1–64. The Soul Dew item may not be used.
* Players may not enter two Pokémon with the same nickname.
* Players may not enter a Pokémon nicknamed with the name of another Pokémon character (for example, a Lucario nicknamed “Spiritomb”).
