The official Pokémon website has announced a new online tournament for Pokémon Sword and Shield called Extreme Speed! Single Battles!! Online Competition which will take place from March 19th, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. PDT until March 22nd, 2020 at 4:59 p.m. PDT.

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield

Feel the rush in the next Online Competition with short, fast battles.

Register now and go for it all in the Extreme Speed! Single Battles!! Online Competition. With only 10 seconds per turn to select a move, you'll have to think fast and make quick decisions. To speed up games even more, there won't be a Pokémon Team Preview period, and your Pokémon won't be able to Dynamax. Everyone who participates will earn 50 BP for their Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield adventure. Good luck, Trainers!

The competition format is Single Battles, and all Pokémon will become Lv. 50 for the duration of each battle. All Pokémon that are capable of moving to Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield via Pokémon HOME are permitted (excluding Legendary and Mythical Pokémon). You can play 15 battles per day, and remaining battles under the daily limit can be carried over to the following day.

Registration for this Online Competition runs from March 11 at 10:00 p.m. PDT until March 19 at 4:59 p.m. PDT. The competition will take place from March 19 at 5:00 p.m. PDT until March 22 at 4:59 p.m. PDT.
