Description
In the Little Cup Online Competition, the rules were designed for quick, exciting battles that are easy for anyone to play. Player couldn't use any Pokémon that have evolved or that are incapable of evolving. For example, players could use Charmander, but not Charmeleon or Charizard and couldn't use Kangaskhan because it doesn’t evolve into any other Pokémon.

The competition used the Single Battle format and players could register 3 to 6 of their level 1–100 Pokémon to their Battle Box but only 3 could battle. Pokémon automatically became Level 5 during battles. A 10-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 30 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 battle up to 15 games per day of the competition. Any unplayed games would carry over to the following day. The new day began at 00:00 UTC.
