Sounds like the full team right there  

My Bulu & Lele are readT. They might be my fave Tapus. Koko was a cute fade and Fini... *IDontKnowHer*

Omg, I haven't been keeping up with the tournament aspect of Sun and Moon. Is this the first tournament and are these the rules also?

Or is this just a GGD only battle thread I guess

[Lagg 2,023]

UPDATE:

I've decided that each team will limit themselves to just 1 UB's and 1 Tapu's.

Get ready to spam your Pheramosa's y'all

Ahhh! I see now... but where do we obtain the codes? And how are they shared exactly?

Yes, this is our first Gen 7 tournament but since Sun and Moon just came out and it still has not received support from PokeBank, it will be a lot different that we can anticipate in the future especially if consider that the SunMoon tiers havent even properly rolled out yet.

When you're asked to save your last battle, be it from Battle tree or wifi, you will receive a replay code of the battles so you can watch it anytime you want or you could share the codes to your friends. They can enter your code if they're connected to the internet.
