Ever felt like having 3 or 4 Pokémon on a team in official battles (singles and doubles, respectively) felt too crowded? Wanted things a little more… personal? Well Season 4’s Special Battle ruleset may be just up your alley. Although both trainers will register teams of 6 Pokémon, only one will be brought into battle for a head-to-head fight against the opposing trainer.
In this Rating Battle season’s Special format, Trainers will create a team of six Pokémon from the National Pokédex, excluding Mythical Pokémon and some Legendary Pokémon. You can use Poké Transporter to bring Pokémon into Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon from previous games. Then, when the battle starts, each Trainer will select only one Pokémon to battle with. You’ll be allowed to use items, but Mega Stones, Z-Crystals, Focus Sashes, and Eviolite will not be allowed. The battles will have a five-minute match time, a 60-second Pokémon preview, and 15-second turn times. Expect speedy battles and plenty of surprises when each Trainer’s Pokémon hits the battlefield! See the Special Format Regulations for details.
This may be a great time to bring in your favorite Pokémon and fight as one a la Ash & Pikachu. Season 4 will run from May 16 at 00:00 UTC until July 17, 2017, at 23:59 UTC.
I also have to say I’m loving these Special Battles, they add a fun new dynamic to online play 🙂

Well, I’m gonna post this again in case anyone wanted to see it, but couldn’t for whatever reason.Enjoy it, I guess.
Whut is it, it says I need permission to see it
Just a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fanfic I wrote (Well, Part 1 of it).I don’t know why it says that.
I tried making my own Mystery Dungeon series
I called it Dungeons and Dragon Types, it took place in gen 6 and in the magical kingdom of Pokelot

Here’s some stuff on mine:The main characters are Alex (a Riolu, and yes, he’s supposed to be me) and Sam (a Treecko).Both used to be human and have been brought to the world for some unknown reason.The two end up joining a guild run by an Infernape.It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, though.It’s not an entirely dark series though, since there are some funny moments (And even a 4th wall break or two).I haven’t come up with a design for the main villain, so that’s a problem.
Ok so now NOA has taken the SAME POKEMON direct down from their website just as the JP site did. Can this really all be coincidence? lol
It’s happening…I think!
Hopefully. at this point it seems like all we’re missing is a direct announcement. It does make you wonder what they have planned. Why remove these directs now if the replacement wouldn’t be going up for a while? Makes me think we’re on the precipice of them them announcing it soon. I really just want it to be today so we can be once and for all sure it’s a Pokemon direct or not. I think it will be, but I don’t want to get over excited about something that ends up being a direct for them to get all the tiny stuff out of the way before e3.
This is definitely too much to be coincidence. I’d say we’re only hours from a Direct announcement, but then again, I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up!
7AM PST has come and gone and nothing was announced. The show might be over, folks. Wait another 3 hours just in case.
Honestly we’ve been putting this announcement on our own time, but it could even come later than we think. If the direct will be for not only us, but also Japan(obviously) then they may wait and announce it at a time when Japan is in waking hours. They’ve announced stuff in the morning for Japan before so it wouldn’t be all that surprising if we got an announcement tonight( for us)
That’s a fair point. In that case, it would be the next day (Friday) for them while being about one and a half days for us. I’m pretty sure the New 2DS XL was revealed around 3PM for us.
Nooooo Oooooooi000
EVERYTHING I DO IS FAILURE
SHOWDOWN, WOW, SPLATOON, SMASH, MARIO KART, EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
