| Description |
| Japan Championships 2016 gave players even more opportunities to fine-tune their teams for Video Game Championship Series events. The top finishers were eligible to earn Championship Points as progress toward an invitation to the Pokémon World Championships in August 2016.
The competition used the Double Battles format and players had to register 4 to 6 of their level 1–100 Pokémon to their Battle Box. Pokémon automatically became Level 50 during battles. A 15-minute time limit for each match was automatically enforced in-game, beginning at the start of each battle. If the outcome had not been determined when the time limit expired, the game automatically applied tiebreakers to determine a winner. At the beginning of each battle, players had 90 seconds to select their Pokémon to battle with. At the beginning of each turn, players had 45 seconds to select a move or change Pokémon in battle. If a player had not made his or her selections at the end of this period, the game automatically made selections for the player. Players could battle up to 10 games per day of the competition. Any unplayed games would carry over to the following day. |
