The 2016 Pokémon Video Game Championship Rules have been revealed. Most notably, this year is unique because it will allow up to two "Uber" Pokémon to be used on each time. These "Uber" Pokemon include: Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde.
What impacts will this change have upon the VGC metagame? Do you think it is a bad change, or a welcomed and interesting addition?
The basic rules are listed below:
"All battles will be Double Battles played in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.
Time limits for battles will vary by event. At major events (Regional Championships and above), battles will have a 15-minute time limit, 45-second move timer, and a 90-second Team Preview.
Pokémon brought in via Poké Transporter will not be permitted (the blue pentagon is required).
All discovered Pokémon will be allowed except the following Mythical Pokémon: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Diancie, and Hoopa.
Teams may have no more than two of the following Pokémon: Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde.
All items will be allowed except Soul Dew. Each Pokémon must hold a different item."
