Registration

To compete in the tournament, participants must first register themselves online. The current season received more than 10,000 entrants.

Each entrant generates a profile and a score according to the registration position.

Rules

Ranks

Trainers are divided into four classes based on their win/loss ratio. Each class is represented by a different type of Poké Ball:

• (ノーマルクラス Normal Class)
• (スーパークラス Super Class)
• (ハイパークラス Hyper Class)
• (マスタークラス Master Class)

The battles are all judged by the Rotom Drones, which serve for each of them to increase their overall score.

On occasion, one-day events called (Japanese: バトルフェス Battle Festivals) are held where many participants can gather to compete with each other at will. These events are held at stadiums and other such venues, and are open for the public to watch.
