Portable Kaiju Super Battle League Rules

Do you wanna be the very best? Dare we even say, like no one ever was? Well come and face your real test at the Portable Kaiju Super Battle League. All our battles will be held in Pokémon Champions; where challengers will assemble a squad of ten Pokémon to take on our Gym Leaders in thrilling 4v4 double battles. After obtaining eight or more badges you can try your best against our grueling Elite Four to earn your rightful place in our Champions’ Tournament. Finally, on Sunday of the Convention all qualifying champions will face off with their 6 strongest Pokémon in a winner take all fight to see who truly is the Very Best. Participation is free with an Otakon Badge and open to anyone with a copy of Pokémon Champions (Switch or Mobile) and the fighting spirit of true Pokémon Master.
