Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon Wonder Trade Race Rules

Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ulra Moon Wonder Trade Rules

1. General Rules
    1.1 - You can choose any starter Pokémon.
    1.2 - You are allowed to catch or trade Pokémon BUT you must Wonder Trade them immediately, and they must fit the criteria of the last forced Wonder Trade. (For example, before beating Hala Lv11 or lower Pokémon are allowed only, etc.)
    1.3 - You are not allowed to use Poipole. Should you get it, deposit it in a box (Wonder Trading it is not possible) before starting any battle.
    1.4 - Exp Share is allowed and can be turned on or off.
    1.5 - You are not allowed to use Pokémon Refresh before the race starts; this prevents unfair advantages when the race starts.
    1.6 - Features other than Wonder Trade in the Festival Plaza are banned.
    1.7 - Using Zorua's or Zoroark's Ability Illusion against Ultra Necrozma is banned.
    1.8 - You are allowed to edit the menu order before the race.
    1.9 - You are allowed to modify your console's time during the race.

2. Wonder Trade
    2.1 - Prior to race
        2.1.1 - You must catch a Pokémon prior to heading to the Pokémon Center on Route 1 (before the Trainer School).

                This is easiest done by catching the Lv4 Grubbin that is forced as you enter the route, as it has 100% catch rate.

        2.1.2 - Wonder trade this Pokémon away until you receive a Pokémon between the level 1 and 11.
        2.1.3 - If you receive a level 6 or below Pokémon, level it up to level 7. You can use the starter you have to do this.
        2.1.4 - After you have reached the level, Wonder Trade away your starter Pokémon as well, with the same rules as before.
        2.1.4 - Make sure the Pokémon you have received is not part of the banned list.

    2.2 - During race
        2.2.1 - Before Beating Hala     - Lv11
        2.2.2 - After Grand Trial 1     - Lv20
        2.2.3 - After Water Trial       - Lv24
        2.2.4 - After Grand Trial 2     - Lv30
        2.2.5 - After Grand Trial 3     - Lv40
        2.2.6 - After Guzma 3           - Lv45
        2.2.7 - After Dragon Trial      - Lv55


3. Starting point (before you ready up for the race makes sure the following is done)
    3.1 - You have done the events leading up to where you enter the Pokémon Center on Route 1. This is the earliest you can Wonder Trade.

          We start on the tile JUST after leaving this Pokémon Center.

    3.2 - You have 2 Pokémon in your party other than your starter and the forced catch.
    3.3 - All of these Pokémon are Lv7. This is your starter, though technically you can use the other Pokémon too.
    3.4 - This is done so that you can enter Po Town because you need two Pokémon.
