Due to the RU Circuit, RUPL and Fire-types burning our funds, you will have a limited budget for teambuilding. You're given $50, and the price of a Pokemon is based on their placement in the Viability Rankings. So for example, Shaymin will take a large amount of your budget, 15$, while the cheap alternative Dhelmise will only cost you a dollar. This tournament tests your teambuilding skills on a whole new level, forcing you to build your team around the budget you're given.
