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.
