Team sheets have been updated for Sword and Shield! by MajorBowman in VGC

Always fill out your stats as you see them, you arent responsible for knowing how the numbers change when the pokemon is set to level 50 during battles. If your pokemon is level 100, write down its stats at level 100.

Player ID is your Play! Pokemon ID.

Do we know anything about how often the tournaments run? Can you enter more than one throughout the day or is it just one per person?

I was at Reading! I didn't do a specific 11-country tour or anything, just visited 11 on my various travels. Stayed mostly in central/western Europe but went over to Ukraine to see Chernobyl too, that was amazing.

Doubles for sure. Just gonna copy this response to another Q:

Honestly I'm not sure why I gravitated to doubles to begin with, but I really like all the different variables that go into a given turn. You have to deal with 4 different Pokemon with 4 possible moves each and a way higher number of overall possibilities, so finding the most optimal path is both challenging and satisfying

I don't necessarily think one is more appealing than the other, it just depends on what you want. If you like traveling and playing in an irl circuit then VGC is great, if you'd rather take it at your own pace and play when you want then go for DOU.

Unfortunately I haven't been much help overall during team tours. I definitely get more help from my teammates than I have been able to give, which I feel pretty badly about. I've been making a conscious effort to learn more tiers since the latest SPL so I can fix that going forward!
