Description
The top 32 players from the East competed in the Corocoro Challenge East Champion Decision Tournament which took place on November 8th, 2015 at Pacifico Yokohama and the top 32 players from the West competed in the Corocoro Challenge West Champion Decision Tournament (コロコロチャレンジ 東日本王者決定大会/西日本王者決定大会) which took place at Osaka Intex on November 15th, 2015. The winners of the tournaments were invited to the Champion Decision Tournament (王者決定大会) held in December 2015.

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.
