How to Challenge the PPL:
This year for West, we’ll be continuing to use a webapp system in order for you to track your badge progress virtually, see which Leaders are available, and a bunch of other neat stuff.
Rules:
We will be using Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch as the main method of battling. A number of Leaders may have non-Switch related Challenges, including Pokemon Champions. (Leader Reveals have started!)
Please click here for a list of written rules.
Leader Meetup Times / Where do I find Gym Leaders?
You’ll regularly see Gym Leaders hanging out around the Handheld Lounge, but Leader Meetup times are
specific times when a large number of Leaders gather to take challengers. If you’re missing some badges, this would be the best time to guarantee lots of
leaders will be around!
