LC RU Cup - Round 3
Welcome to round 3 of the LC RU Cup. Good luck on your matches this week!
Don't forget to triple check your teams to make sure all the Pokemon are legal.
LC RU council will be discussing Slowpoke, Minccino, and Axew. Regardless of our decision, it would not affect the tour until next week but I wanted to make people aware of it. Please feel free to share your thoughts on them in the server.
