Welcome to the fourth Doubles Classic! See the Doubles Classic IV commencement thread for details on scoring and the playoffs that will follow the conclusion of BW, XY, SM, and SS Cups.
SPECIFIC RULES
Play Restrictions
Players can only use Pokemon that are currently either obtainable in Pokemon Sword and Shield or transferable to Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Players cannot use the following Pokémon:
- This is a standard SS Doubles OU tournament. (See the SS DOU metagame thread for various resources.)
- This tournament will be Single Elimination.
- Rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
- Replays must be saved. Any match win reported without replays will not count. This is to promote the development of the SS DOU metagame and ensure players are on an equal playing field with regard to replay access.
