Johto X Alola Competition - Kris - Dec 2, 2017

The first Online Competition featuring the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon games brings together Pokémon from two regions. In the Johto x Alola Competition, Trainers create a team using only Pokémon found in the Johto and Alola Pokédexes, excluding Mythical Pokémon and some Legendary Pokémon. (See the competition regulations for a complete list of eligible Pokémon.) It’s a great opportunity to put Pokémon you may have caught in the recently rereleased Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver into action!

The competition features Double Battles with teams of six Pokémon, of which four will compete in each match. Pokémon brought in via Poké Transporter will be permitted in battle. All Pokémon above and below Lv. 50 will be set to Lv. 50 for the duration of the battles. There are no item restrictions except that no duplicate items are allowed. There will be a 10-minute player clock, with 45-second turns.

All qualified participants in the Johto x Alola Online Competition will receive 50 Battle Points. Players must complete at least one battle to qualify.

Registration for the Johto x Alola Online Competition takes place Thursday, December 7, 2017, at 00:00 UTC.

The competition goes from Friday, December 15, at 00:00 UTC, until Sunday, December 17, 2017, at 23:59 UTC. Trainers will be limited to 15 battles per day. Junior Division players (born in 2003 or later) are limited to playing between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., based on the easternmost time zone in each player’s country.

All Trainers will need a Pokémon Trainer Club account, a wireless internet connection, and their own Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Ultra Moon video game with a party of eligible Pokémon. See the competition regulations for more details.
