| Description |
| This Online Competition featured Trainers from around the world competing in Double Battles using nearly every known Pokémon. As with the 2015 Pokémon International Challenge February, the Pokémon must have been acquired in Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby, or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. All Pokémon above Lv. 50 will be set to Lv. 50 for the duration of the battles.
The top 256 players in each age division (based on Play! Pokémon regulations) received Championship Points, which contributed towards their chances of earning an invitation to the Pokémon World Championships. Players must have been opted into the Play! Pokémon program and have a Player ID at the time the competition to be eligible for Championship Points. The competition used the Double Battle format and players could register 4 to 6 of their level 1–100 Pokémon to their Battle Box. Pokémon automatically became Level 50 during battles. A 15-minute time limit for each match was automatically enforced in-game, beginning at the start of each battle. If the outcome had not been determined when the time limit expired, the game automatically applied tiebreakers to determine a winner. At the beginning of each battle, players had 90 seconds to select their Pokémon to battle with. At the beginning of each turn, players had 45 seconds to select a move or change Pokémon in battle. If a player had not made his or her selections at the end of this period, the game automatically made selections for the player. Players could only play 10 rounds per day. |
