Festive Event Voucher be spent per player per challenge.
- Sign-ups made during the event period will use Generation 8 mechanics.

- Each player may play in up to two challenges at a time. Each simultaneous challenge must be with a different teammate.
- Challenge signups that haven't been taken by a referee by the end of January 2023 UST, except for challenges made using a Festive Event Voucher, will expire and become invalid.
- Festive Event Vouchers (and
Harvest Event Vouchers) are presently unobtainable, but are slated to become rewards for certain Gen 9 Facilities.
- Players will form teams of two as they sign up, and they will bring two Pokemon each.
- The battles will be 4vX Raid Battles. All of your team's participating Pokemon will be in play at once.
- Abilities and Moves that affect your entire allied team are of heightened importance.
- You will play against a single continuous Raid Boss Encounter. The Boss will reset their status at specified intervals, and there could be a slew of additional opponents, but this encounter is one single large battle for all purposes.
- The Raid Boss will act according to a Boss Behavior System, detailed below. The minor opponents will act according to scripted behavior sets chosen at random.
- Your challenging team may post orders for your Pokemon in whatever order you like. Teammates may each post orders for their pair, take turns alternating orders for a single Pokemon at a time, sandwich one trainer's post between two of the other trainer's posts, or any other configuration they need. The order in which Pokemon receive their orders is relevant for battle mechanics, detailed below.
- Pokemon may receive orders only from their own trainer. Each teammate is required to post orders for their Pokemon each round.
- If either trainer has all of their Pokemon fainted, your challenge ends.
- Once all of your team's Pokemon have been issued orders, the behaviors of opponents will be generated and the round will be reffed. Your team won't get a chance to respond to the behaviors generated, so be sure to make use of each team members' allowed substitutions.
- The Raid Boss will, at times, perform moves or actions that their species would not normally know.
- Scripted opponents disregard the substitution restrictions placed on human players. Their substitutions work as written, and should be evaluated as conditional behaviors, rather than as traditional substitutions.

Iceroot Carrot
A bizarre carrot capped with a layer of ice that just won't melt...

A trophy Key Item with no effect.
A reminder that you possess indomitable will and questionable judgment.
These held items can't be equipped in battle until the launch of BBP Generation 9.
You can't have more than one (1) "Sovereign" item in your backpack, per battle.
If another ally would lose HP as a result of a hit from an attack; instead, that ally and the holder each lose half that much HP.
(Rounded normally, to a minimum of 1. This doesn't cause the holder to "be hit" by that specific hit.)
You can't have more than one (1) "Sovereign" item in your backpack, per battle.
If a Pokemon in play other than the holder would heal HP or En; instead, both that Pokemon and the holder heal half of that HP or En.
