| Description |
| The Scrappy Skirmish Online Competition was a format chosen by Pokémon fans around the world in a Pokémon Global Link poll. In the Scrappy Skirmish, players created a team and battled using only Pokémon that never cracked the top 12 in any 2015 Double Battle Online Competitions. All battles were Double Battles played in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. Players could not bring in Pokémon from earlier games via Poké Transporter.
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 20-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 60 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. |
