Pokémon Sun & Moon - Special Battle Season 2
The Special Battle rules for Season 2 have been revealed. Season 2 will run from January 17th 2017 to March 19th 2017 and runs on Sun & Moon. This ruleset alters things to allow for the inclusion of Pokémon through the National Pokédex after the release of Bank later this month
The base rules for this season are as follows:
Battle type: Single Battle
Pokémon Restrictions: National Pokédex.
Banned Pokémon: Only 1 of the following can be used per team Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion, Cosmog, Cosmoem, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Magearna
The other standard rules apply, including all set to Level 50 if above that, and you choose 3 Pokémon out of your 6, and you cannot have two Pokémon holding the same hold item.
Edit @ 13:28: In addition to these Special Battle rules, Single Battle and Double Battle on Rating Battle on Battle Spot will be updated to allow National Pokédex with the usual Pokémon restrictions banning the usual Legendary & Mythical Pokémon. This will also allow for use of Pokémon from Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire but no mention of any Pokémon obtained through Poké Transporter, blocking Pokémon from the Virtual Console games and Generation V and before games from being used.

Pokémon Sun & Moon - Global Mission
The second Pokémon Sun & Moon Global Mission is now over on Pokémon Sun & Moon. This Global Mission was to have all players find a total of 1,000,000 Pokémon through Island Scan. Unfortunately, the mission is counted as a failure as only 661,839 Pokémon were found during this duration. As such, the failure reward of 217FC, or 434FC if the game is registered on the Global Link is now available.
