Battle Spot
Battle Spot is a feature of the PSS that allows players to battle online in the Generation VI games. It has the same functions that the Global Battle Union's Random Matchup has in the Generation V games. If a player disconnects on battle spot the battle will be registered as a loss for the player that disconnected and as a win for their oponent, remedying a common complaint about gen V's battle union. With the release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire battle spot has been split up into the ΩR/αS League and the X/Y League. This prevents the games from battling each other, as the new mega Pokémon, formes and signature moves released in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are incompatible with X and Y. When battle spot is selected from the PSS the player gets the options for Random Matchup, Online Competition, and Quit.
Random Matchup
Random Matchup offers the options of Free Battle and Rated Battle. In random matchup players are given the option to choose between Single Battle, Double Battle, Triple Battle or Rotation Battle. Teams can be selected from either the party or the battle box. Players have to bring a full team of 6 pokemon, but only get to pick three pokémon to bring into battle for single battles and four for double and rotation battles. For triple battles all pokémon must be brought into battle. While pokémon over level 50 get their level scaled down, pokémon under level 50 do not get their level scaled up.
For free battle no account on the Global Link is neccesary, and the only rules are that a player may not use duplicate Pokémon or duplicate held items on their team. This noticably means players are allowed to use both Restricted Pokémon and Special Pokémon in their team.
