| Description |
| The 2015 International Challenge June Online Competition featured Trainers from around the world competing in Double Battles using nearly every known Pokémon. Pokémon acquired in Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, Pokémon Omega Ruby, or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire were permitted in the competition and the top players in each age division (based on Play! Pokémon regulations) received Championship Points, which contribute toward the chances of earning an invitation to the Pokémon World Championships. Players must have opted into the Play! Pokémon program and had a Player ID at the time the competition to be eligible for Championship Points.
The competition used the Double Battle format and players could register 4 to 6 of their level 1–100 Pokémon to their Battle Box. Pokémon automatically became Level 50 during battles. A 15-minute time limit for each match was automatically enforced in-game, beginning at the start of each battle. If the outcome had not been determined when the time limit expired, the game automatically applied tiebreakers to determine a winner. At the beginning of each battle, players had 90 seconds to select their Pokémon to battle with. At the beginning of each turn, players had 45 seconds to select a move or change Pokémon in battle. If a player had not made his or her selections at the end of this period, the game automatically made selections for the player. Players could battle up to 10 games per day of the competition. Any unplayed games would carry over to the following day. |
