You and your partner, as well as your opponents, will all have unique dialogue that is customized to each individual pairing!

The 2 on 2 Tag Battle format will see you joining sides with an NPC to fight. Note that the rules for this are essentially identical to Double Battles, with the small exception that you cannot control the actions of your partner's Pokemon.

Choose Your Partner

Partner

You'll be able to choose your partner to enter the tournament. Your partner will bring 3 Pokemon to the battle, though you will still be using your usual 6. This means you'll have a total of 9 Pokemon available to you.

Note that if your partner's 3 Pokemon faint, your Pokemon will have to fight the enemy 2 on 1, so you'll want to protect your ally!

Rotom & Flygon Dream Team

ガラルスタートーナメント

We recommend choosing Raihan as your partner because he starts every match with a Flygon as his lead. Pairing this with a Rotom that knows Discharge, equipped with Choice Specs can be quite deadly. Discharge will hit everyone, but since Flygon is immune it won't matter! Raihan's Flygon also knows Earthquake, which Rotom is conventiently immune to. With these two massive AoE abilities, you can 1 or 2 shot the vast majority of Pokemon that come your way.

Note, if you get Milo we recommend swapping out your Rotom for something else!

Excadrill & Hawlucha

This is another team that's focused on using AoE moves. A Choice Band Excadrill with Sand Rush will almost always go first and deal massive damage to both enemies. Hawlucha's Flying type also lets it avoid this damage. For Flying Types, simply Dynamax your Excadrill and use Max Rockfall.
