The Ultimate team competition is made for two family members, with one being 16 or older and the other being 12 and under, who want to take on other teams in a four-player Double Battle. The teams that win will have the chance to get a £250 Nintendo Online Store gift voucher and a group trip for four to one of the world's biggest gaming shows.

The Pokemon Apprentice category is available for new enthusiasts who want to battle it out for a Nintendo 3DS mega bundle that is valued at £300 and comes with various games for the handheld.
