Sign ups for the Snag Cup are open (and technically have been, whoops)! We'll be holding a Wi-Fi Pokemon tournament using the Pokemon Sword and Shield games starting Friday, August 6th. The various rules for the tournament are as listed below.
-----
1.) Tournament will be singles format, normal rules, with teams of six Pokemon.
2.) All Pokemon, except Restricted Sparring banned legends, may be used. [List of not allowed Pokemon can be found here under 'Special Pokemon'. Scroll down.]
3.) No two or more of the same species of Pokemon.
4.) No more than two of the same held item may be used.
5.) Hacked or otherwise altered Pokémon outside of the game's normal means are strictly forbidden. Anyone found out to be using such Pokémon will be disqualified from this tourney and all future tourneys at once.
6.) Any player automatically loses if they knock out their last Pokémon through the moves Self-Destruct, Explosion, Destiny Bond or Perish Song, even if the opponent's last Pokémon was also knocked out.
7.) Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing is permitted.
8.) Your team must be registered upon sign up. You may only use the one team exactly as it is when you register it, no changing your team in mid-tournament. (This includes Pokemon, moves, abilities, and held items.) Registering is done in-game via the Victory Station (located in the in-game menu) under Battle Stadium located within. You will receive a Team ID when registering your team. (If you have trouble registering a team please PM me for assistance.)
9.) After every battle you are to share Team IDs with your opponent to confirm that you have been using the same team throughout the tournament.
