POKÉMON GO – SPIN THAT WHEEL!

Overview

Each round’s CP cap will be determined randomly using a “Wheel of Fortune.” All players compete under the CP cap selected for that round.

Swiss Rounds: Wheel Format

• Before each round, spin the wheel to determine the CP cap.
• Players must build teams to the CP maximum shown on the wheel.
• No additional restrictions apply unless the wheel lands on 1500 CP 👀

1500 CP Special Rule

• A second wheel is spun to determine THREE Pokémon types.
• Players may only use Pokémon that match at least one of the three selected types.
• Dual-type Pokémon are legal if at least one of their types matches.
• This is the only additional restriction for that round.

Top Cut Format (Top 8 / Top 4 / Finals)

Top Cut will be played using the three standard Pokémon GO CP formats:

• 1500 CP (Great League)
• 2500 CP (Ultra League)
• Unlimited CP (Master League)

Each format will be used once during Top Cut.

Procedure:

1. Spin to determine the CP cap for Top 8.
2. For Top 4, randomly select from the remaining two CP caps.
3. Finals will use the last unused CP cap.

No additional type restrictions apply during Top Cut.

• These two Ghosts are kept face down in clear sleeves.
• Ghost Pokémon may be used only once per match (Best of 3).

Deploying a Ghost: At any point during your turn before attacking, you may deploy one or both Ghost Pokémon.

Ghost Pokémon rules:

After all Active and Ghost attacks resolve, your turn ends.

Recoil Clause: If recoil damage occurs, the attacking player chooses how to distribute recoil damage among their own Pokémon, including Ghosts.

Fun Rule 3 – Ghost Active

A player does not lose if their last remaining Pokémon is a Ghost Pokémon.

A player loses only when:

• They have no Active Pokémon in play,
• They have no deployed Ghost Pokémon, and
• They have no unused Ghost Pokémon remaining for the match.

Fun Rule 4 – Ghost Save

If a player’s only Active Pokémon is Knocked Out and they have an unused Ghost available (not in the Lost Zone from this or a previous game in the match):

• They may immediately deploy that Ghost as their new Active Pokémon.
• The opponent may not immediately attack the Ghost Save Pokémon.
• The player draws one card to begin their next turn.

Play continues as normal.
