Questions About the Pokemon World Championships

[Jadeco]

My friend and I were watching videos of the final battles for the 2009 Pokemon World Championships. We have some questions:

1. Are all the battles 2-on-2?
2. Did they not have a lvl 50 auto-reduction on purpose?
3. Does anyone know what move Shedinja is doing in the final Senior battle?
4. Does anyone know where I can find a list of the finalists' teams?

3. I'm gonna guess (in order): Heal Block, X Scissor, X Scissor, Shadow Sneak.

1. Yes. 4 Pokemon brought into battle, 2-on-2.
2. Probably, so you would have to train Pokemon specially for the event and not use the lv 100s you had lying around.
4. Smogon would be your best bet, if the teams are disclosed. Some winners of the regionals didn't want their teams posted until the Nationals/World.

1. Yes. 4 Pokemon brought into battle, 2-on-2.

What?!?! No 1-on-1 battles at all?

No... it never suggests on the official website it is anything but 2-on-2 for the entire tournament.
Solid doubles tourney.
