Pokémon X & Y - Battle Competition
Ahead of the reveal of the data worldwide, and after its reveal yesterday, the official Korean site has seemingly inadvertently revealed the regulations for the upcoming Beta Competition WiFi tournament for Pokémon X & Y. It's possible that these regulations may change, but we'll have confirmation on Friday. First, the battles are to be Double Battles and you can use any Pokémon in the National Pokédex, except Mewtwo, Xerneas, Yveltal or Zygarde, and you cannot use transferred Pokémon from previosu generations. All Pokémon will be made to be Level 30 in the competition. In addition to that, there's a new regulation included. In this competition, you can only have 20 battles per day, but if you participate in less than 20 in one day, you can make it up in another so if you make 15 battles in Day 1, then you can do 25 battles in Day 2. After the competition, there will be a survey on how it was run, running from February 28th to March 7th. We'll bring full details, including confirmation of this, on Friday

Over the past couple of months, we have been slowly collating as many shiny images as possible for the various Pokémon within the game. However, with help from Comentor, I have been able to catalogue images for every single Pokémon that is capable of being shiny in Pokémon X & Y. Since Celebi, Jirachi, Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Keldeo, Meloetta, Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde cannot be shiny in X & Y, this means they currently do not have shiny images. In addition to this, all Mega Evolutions now have crisp and clean images of their shiny variant. To view these, check each Pokémon's page in our X & Y Pokédex
