In Cobblemon Islands, we host ranked systems to give every trainer a chance to test their skills, climb the ladder, and enjoy battles in a fun but competitive environment. Ranked play focuses on strategy, smart team building, and fair rules that keep things balanced. Here
On **Cobblemon Islands**, the singles-ranked format follows **National Dex OU** rather than standard OU.
National Dex OU allows Pokémon, moves, and items from across multiple generations, creating a broader and more diverse metagame. While some Pokémon are restricted or banned for balance, most remain available, giving players access to a wide variety of strategies.
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
NATIONAL DEX DOUBLES
**National Dex Doubles** is a beginner-friendly competitive Pokémon format where trainers battle using two Pokémon at the same time. Players can build teams using Pokémon from across the entire National Pokédex, including classic mechanics like Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves, while following balanced competitive rules.
{% endcolumn %}
{% column %}
NATIONAL DEX MONOTYPE
**National Dex Monotype** is a competitive Pokémon format where every Pokémon on your team must share the same type, such as Fire, Water, or Dragon. Trainers can use Pokémon from across the entire National Pokédex, including classic mechanics like Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves, while following balanced competitive rules.
