The Pokemon Company has begun registrations for Pokemon Sword And Shield‘s 2022 International Challenge March Online Competition, which includes a special participation prize.

The competition uses standard VGC double battle rules, with registration running from now till March 10th. As detailed previously, players who participate in at least 3 battles during the competition period from March 11th till March 13th will receive a Shiny Galarian Zapdos as a participation prize, which is currently the only way to obtain the Pokemon legitimately.

To enter the competition, players will have to enter the VS option in the game, select “Battle Stadium” and then enter the “Online Competition”. Once the competition has started on March 11th, they will have to follow these steps again to start completing their battles.
