If your opponent does not respond or fails to appear for the match, inform the organizer on Discord. The organizer will help resolve the situation and decide how the round should proceed. For tournaments hosted on Limitless, failing to check in before the round may result in an automatic match decision.
The most important thing is to contact the organizer as soon as possible. You can do this on Discord, and if the tournament is hosted on Limitless, you can also use the Call a Judge button.
It is also good practice to take a screenshot of the final game screen confirming the result. In the case of Showdown, saving the replay is sufficient. While cheating is very rare based on our experience, it can still happen (especially in tournaments with prizes), so it’s worth taking precautions. This helps resolve any doubts quickly and efficiently.
If you’re unable to continue, inform the organizer on Discord. This helps ensure that future rounds are prepared correctly — you will be removed from the tournament, and no one will be paired against you in the next round. For Limitless tournaments, you can simply use the Drop button in your Dashboard.
If something unexpected happens (such as losing internet connection or technical issues) and you’re unable to inform us, don’t worry. There will be no consequences for future events. However, if possible, please let us know.
If technical issues prevent you from continuing the match and interrupt the game, your opponent will be awarded the win. The only exception is turn 0 — the very start of the battle, before either player has made a move.
Yes. You can join the Discord server and follow the event even if you are not participating in the tournament.
Yes, you are welcome to stream your games. However, please keep in mind that doing so may expose you to stream sniping, which we will not actively monitor. You stream at your own risk, and we recommend adding a short delay.
If we decide to stream tournaments ourselves, our broadcasts will always include a 5-minute delay.
Lanakila was created to build a more structured tournament environment for competitive Pokémon — a place where it’s easier to take the first step and then participate in events regularly.
Our goal is to create a space for players who enjoy Pokémon battles, where they can improve at their own pace without pressure to be the best. After all, when climbing a mountain, what matters most isn’t the summit itself, but the path taken to reach it.
