With the addition of terrain effects in Pokemon Sun/Moon, this tournament aims at finding out who can put the moves/abilities to good use when matched up with a competing terrain effect.
This is a double battle tournament for Pokemon Sun/Moon over WiFi.
You MUST choose one terrain move for your team. Once chosen, you must not have Pokemon in your party that have other terrain moves. You may have as many Pokemon with the chosen terrain move to your liking.
If you choose to use a Tapu for your team, its ability must activate the terrain you chose.

Some tips :
- Tapus have abilities that activate terrain effects.
- It's wise to keep more than one Pokemon with the terrain move of your choosing.
- It could be wise to have some Pokemon that work better with your opponent's terrain effect than yours.
- Mixing terrain with something else could work to your advantage (eg. weather).
