The PokéFanon League’s preliminary round robin is a tournament that will decide which league members become champion, elite four, or gym leaders. The tournament began on February 22nd, 2016. As a round robin, each member is to be pitted against all other members. For every victory achieved by a member, one point will be added to his/her score. Of course, the higher the score, the higher the placement of the member. First place will become the champion, and he/she will have the freedom of changing his team; the champion will no longer have the other members’ type-specialist restriction, but all other teambuilding rules will still apply. Places 2–5 will become the elite four, while the rest will become gym leaders.

- Click "New Team."
- Click "Format," and then click "[Gen 6] Ubers."
- Click "Add Pokémon" for every Pokémon you intend to add.
Rules
Teambuilding rules
- All Pokémon may be any level; of course, it is in your best interest to keep the Pokémon at level 100 (unless you're using specific strategies that involve under-leveled Pokémon).
- Legendary Pokémon are not allowed; all non-legendary Pokémon are.
- You may not have the following moves:
- Fissure
- Guillotine
- Horn Drill
- Sheer Cold
- Double Team
- Minimize
- Swagger
- You may not have a Pokémon with Moody as its ability.
- You may not have a Pokémon with the move Recycle and hold a Leppa Berry with a move that directly restores HP (Milk Drink, Moonlight, Morning Sun, Recover, Roost, Slack Off, Soft-Boiled, Pain Split); this is to prevent battles from being endless.
- One wildcard Pokémon (a Pokémon that is not the type your team is supposed to be) is allowed; additional rules go along with this rule.
- The wildcard must know at least one move that is your designated type (for example, a Fire-type trainer with a Steelix that knows Fire Fang); Hidden Power can count for this (for example, a Water-type trainer with a Ferrothorn that knows Hidden Power Water).
- A Pokémon of which is not your type but has a pre-evolution that is your type is not considered a wildcard (for example, a Drapion would not be considered a wildcard in a bug-type team).
- If you use a mega-evolution that is not your type before mega-evolving but is your type after, that Pokémon will not be counted as a wildcard, thus allowing you to use a wildcard in addition to the Pokémon with a megastone (for example, a Dragon-type trainer with a Charizard, which is not Dragon type, that megaevoles to Mega Charizard X, which is a Dragon type; the Charizard does not count as a wildcard).
- If you use a mega-evolution that is your type before mega-evolving but is not your type after, that Pokémon will (also) not be counted as a wildcard, thus allowing you to use a wildcard in addition to the Pokémon with a megastone (for example, a Flying-type trainer with a Charizard, which is a Flying type, that megaevolves to Mega Charizard X, which loses its Flying type; the Charizard also does not count as a wildcard).
- Your wildcard cannot be a mega-evolution (for example, a Mega Charizard Y is not allowed in the team of a Dragon-type specialist, because it is never a Dragon type at any time)
- When using a mega-evolution, make sure you pick the base Pokémon, and then give it its respective megastone as its item.
- You may only have one Pokémon with its respective mega-evolution stone.
- Unlike VGC and Battle Spot, you may have more than one of the same item in your team.
- However, like VGC and Battle Spot, you may not have more than one of the same Pokémon on your team.
- Pick a gender for Pokémon that have genders; do not pick random for gender.
- After you finish building your team, list them in the chart under the “Teams” section; if you have problems getting the coding to work correctly, tell your list of Pokémon to Hyper Zergling, and he will help you.
- You may change your Pokémon before your first battle. Once you have battled, however, you may not change your Pokémon, their IVs, their EVs, and their Natures; as changing the Hidden Power Type also changes IVs, you are not allowed to change the Hidden Power Type either.
Battle rules
- At the start of the battle, the game should ask you to pick your first Pokémon; just survey what your opponent has, and select who you want to start the battle with.
- Bear in mind, there is a programmed rule where only one Pokémon can be put to sleep at a time.
- Each will play against each other in bests of three; between two players, one player must win twice in order to actually win.
- Each victory of each best of three will be counted as a point; notify Hyper Zergling, Universalguardian1003, or Commander Lightning of results of matches.
- Only the first three matches between players will count towards the round robin, unless both players agree to not count certain matches.
- Between each battle counted towards the round robin, you may only change your Pokémon's moves and items; nothing else about your team can be changed.
- You may not change which Pokémon you designate as your mega-evolution.
- If you have the move Hidden Power, you may not change its type; this is because you change the IVs as a result.
- Should there be a dispute regarding the rules, a replay should be saved and sent to Commander Lightning.
- If any player is caught cheating, the victory will automatically go to the other player.
- If both players happen to break rules, the match must be played again in order for it to count.
