To catch them and beat them all, is how I win the tooooournament. Oh wait, that’s not how it goes! Coming July 24th, Play N Trade is bringing the Pokemon tournament back, stopping in the new Unova region.

Like always, the tournament will be $10 to sign up for with a $100 grand prize in store credit.

Here are the rules:

Battles will be 1v1 battles, not 2v2 or 3v3.

All Pokémon that are Level 51 or higher will have their level reduced to 50 for the duration of the battle with the following parameters:

  • Each Pokémon retains all of the moves that it knew before being auto-leveled
  • Pokémon that evolve after Level 50 do not devolve when auto-leveled
  • Pokémon below Level 50 remain at their actual level rather than being auto-leveled up to Level 50 for the battle
  • The Pokémon’s stats are adjusted to what its Level 50 stats would be

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, an Unfezant nicknamed “Pidove”)

Each Pokémon on a player’s team may use held items, though no two Pokémon may hold the same item during battle.

There will be random spot checks to ensure the integrity of the match and ensure that all Pokemon have been legitimately caught and no tampering occurred.

Banned Pokemon:

Mew
Celebi
Jirachi
Deoxys (all forms)
Phione
Manaphy
Darkrai
Shaymin
Arceus
Mewtwo
Lugia
