Pokemon Black and White Rules
Tournament matches will take place via Infrared Connection. Players must provide their own Nintendo DS systems and Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version Game Cards and cannot share systems or Game Cards with another player at the event.
It is strongly recommended that players bring chargers for their Nintendo DS systems, as we will not have chargers available for loan. Power outlets will be provided in the game play area.
Prior to the start of the battle, the Pokémon on each player’s team will be displayed to their opponent briefly. Moves and held items are not displayed.
A 15-minute time limit for each match will be enforced by the tournament boss, beginning at the start of each battle. If the outcome has not been determined by the end of the time limit, the boss will apply tiebreakers to determine a winner.
Players may use Pokémon found in the Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version Unova Pokédex, from No. 001-148, and No. 151, that are caught in the game, or received by an official event or distribution. Pokémon from the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh Pokédex cannot be used.
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
A player’s team may not contain two Pokémon with the same Unova Pokédex number
Each Pokémon on a player’s team may use held items, though no two Pokémon may hold the same item during battle
- Only items acquired in Pokémon Black Version or White Version, or received at an official Pokémon event or promotion, may be used
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”)
Players found to have inappropriate/offensive Trainer names or Pokémon nicknames, as determined by the event staff, will be disqualified from the event.
Pokémon may only use moves that have been learned through one of the following methods:
- By leveling up
- By TM or HM
- As an Egg move, through breeding
- From a character in the game
- Already learned by a Pokémon that was received at an official Pokémon event or promotion
- Pokémon cannot use the move Sky Drop during battle
Notify me if you think someone has hacked their copy and I will do a hack check.
Item Clause: No pokemon on your team may have the same item.
