[Pokemon Trainer]

The new rules for the upcoming Rating Battle (Season 16) have been revealed.

Format: Double Battles (all Pokémon will be set to level 50 for the duration of the battle and all Pokémon require the blue pentagon. You choose 4 Pokémon out of your 6 and you can't have two Pokémon holding the same item)
Pokémon Restrictions: National Pokédex
Pokémon Limits: Players can register a maximum of two Pokémon to the Battle Box from the following list: Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde.

Play today in the Rating Battle Season 16! This season’s Special format will continue to use rules and regulations as the new Video Game Championship season. Keep refining your team as you prepare for your next big competition. Like in the Video Game Championship season, all Pokémon require the blue pentagon, meaning you cannot bring them into your game via Poké Transporter. Also, all Pokémon above Lv. 50 will be leveled down to Lv. 50 for the duration of the battle.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire players will continue to battle against players from only those games in the ΩR/αS League. Pokémon X and Pokémon Y players will compete in a separate league against other Pokémon X and Pokémon Y players in the X/Y League.

Please review the complete Rating Battle Season 16 regulations at the Pokémon Global Link where you’ll find details on eligible Pokémon, time limits, and other restrictions.

Keep practicing for the current Video Game Championship season in Rating Battle Season 16!
