DRAFTCENTER FORMAT

Custom Draft Format

Commissioner-defined legality and pricing

Format overview

Build a legal pool, bans, costs, mechanics, and roster restrictions for a bespoke league.

Legal Pokémon

Custom formats do not have a fixed legal pool. The commissioner chooses exactly which Pokémon and forms to include.

Using this format in a draft league

DraftCenter applies the format’s base legal pool when a commissioner selects it. Commissioners can still set roster size, draft method, point budget, pick timers, transactions, playoffs, and league-specific bans or price overrides.

Legality and pricing

Historical legality follows the supported competitive definition for this ruleset. Curated tier values are used where DraftCenter has a format-specific price source; uncovered Pokémon use the documented fallback pricing model until more league data is available.

Community evidence

Pokémon profile pages report eligibility-aware draft rate and ADP by format, along with auction samples, teammate patterns, and confirmed match results aggregated across DraftCenter leagues.
