Online Tournament - PGP Championship Series 07.23.16

Unlike the VGC Championship Series held in the physical world at Robinson's Galleria, The Pilipinas Got Pokemon Championship Series, hereinafter referred to as "PGP-CS", is an online tournament where players slug it out it out through WiFi battles. PGP-CS uses the custom PGP Format which is slightly different from the standard VGC 2016 Format. This custom format is implemented to give the community a sense of fun outside the standard VGC format as well as provide you trainers with a challenge. For more information, please check the main Pilipinas Got Pokemon Championship Series article.
