Battles are played using the 2-on-2 format.

A player's team must consist of exactly 4 Pokémon. Players may change Pokémon between rounds, though each Pokémon must still meet the rules outlined in this document.

Each Pokémon on a player's team must be level 50 or lower.

Level 50 ALL is fine.

Each Pokémon on a player's team may use held items, though no 2 Pokémon on a team may hold the same item. Players may change held items between rounds. Allowed items include held items from Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl, and earlier video games, including Berries 1-60. The Soul Dew item may not be used.
