Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
So my friend and I are relatively new to competitive Pokemon and we want to go to a regional this year. We like teaming up together for Double Battles and that's the way that we prefer to play with half of each other's Pokemon on the team.
Now we know we can't do that for the VGC tourneys...
