The second is called a Live Format Friendly Competition. It is also a tournament that cannot be deleted but it is meant for players who want more private competitions. In this tournament, the creator can choose between a doubles or single format. The creator will also have the authority to choose which Pokémon will be allowed to join the Online Tournament.
Step 5: Decide whether creatures from the Pokémon Bank will be eligible for the competition created or not.
Step 6: Decide whether Mega Stones and Z-Crystals can be used in the competitions or not.
Step 7: Set a date and time limit for the competition and decide how many battles are allowed each day.
Step 8: Claim the QR code and take a screenshot of the code.
Step 9: Share the screenshot with friends. This screenshot of the QR code can be scanned so it will be used in the competition.
