What'll it take to bribe you? XD
I was so sure it'd be at Smyths in the UK, but now I'm curious if it'll be at EGX or Hyper Japan instead. Even though the UK is pretty small, it's gonna suck for the people not near those places.
I did three battles to get the shiny Mewtwo. I've had a team set up since the first international comp, but decided against participating last minute. But the promise for a free shiny is too enticing! My team is Primal Groudon, Ho-Oh, Thundurus-T, Mega Kangaskhan, Sylveon, and Tangrowth.
I had a pretty close battle with someone in the mid 1600s. Ho-Oh's Safeguard (and Lum Berry) threw off his Thundurus-I and whiffed a Mega Khan's Sucker Punch, which was hilarious. Too bad he had a Xerneas waiting. Ho-Oh and Sylveon are not well equipped to handle a Geomancy-boosted beast. Still, great match despite the loss!

That's two of us then. Is it a regular one, or Cosplay? I went with the latter.
My most embarrassing match this competition was getting solo'd by a Raichu today. Don't get me wrong, Raichu is really good when used correctly, but I brought in absolutely NOTHING that could touch it due to it having Lightning Rod, my 4 chosen Pokemon having a reliance on electric attacks, and the rest of his team being immune to anything else I could throw at him. I played myself /hard/. xD

Did my three matches with a team consisting of Zard Y, Typhlosion, and 4 other mons that I didn't care about. Went 1-2, with that one win being an RQ at the very end. Things I saw:
-Dazzling Gleam Sylveon
-Torrent Greninja
-Blaziken lead
-2 Mewtwo's
I... I... Uh... Well that was a weird session.

What the heck. I was facing Mega Kangaskhan, Primal Kyogre, and Geomancy Xerneas.
Also a Fan Rotom who got two flinches with Dark Pulse and a Quick Claw proc.
I went 1-3 with my only win coming against a guy with level 1's.

I think they were banned because they evolved after level 50.

I don't understand why that matters? Levels scale back after that point anyway

After all this time I finally figured out how to activate Street Pass in my Alpha Sapphire. Man so much potential wasted.
Anyone know how I can go about trying to get that Eon Ticket?
Also does anyone have Chimchar with its hidden ability Iron Fist? I've got Marvel Scale Dratini's with Extreme Speed and Sturdy Tyrants for trade!

I'd say if you lived up here, you could street pass it off me. Otherwise, best to take it with you on outings. If your profile is right, would have been prime pickings during E3.

Go to a place that has a 3DS demo station. Most of those have the streetpasses of everyone that went there with it on. I've picked up the ticket from two different Best Buys.
2008 ruleset. No level scaling back and those evolved after LV50 (except for Toys R Us Dragonite which was released afterwards).

Ok, so it's just emulating previous VGC rules? At least Garchomp is usable

It's funny. Yesterday I got an email from TPC about our issue last week being a known one that should be fixed. Cool. Then just a few minutes ago so get another one (why?) stating to clear cache/cookies, use most up to date Chrome or Firefox, etc. The issue wasn't me and they admitted it to being an issue. I didn't mail them back and wonder why they even sent this one. Especially when they already knew it was an issue over weekend.
Edit: Removed. Got this extra part resolved.

Lost again on Super Doubles. This is like the fourth time making it to the 30's / 40's. I'm using teams from Smogon but I must be using the wrong strategies because none of the other formats were this difficult. I was using Garchomp / Scizor / Gengar and Gyarados.
I'm going to breed a Togekiss and try a new team with Garchomp, Scizor and Rotom-W.

Just quoting as I'm not sure if it's been claimed or not. (If it has and you claimed it, at least make note of it.) Just don't want the code to go to waste.
Edit: Tidal, I have one you can have if you'd like.

Hmmm, I have 3 / 4 of those ev trained, but I am trying to beat the battle maison without using legendaries. Plus, I don't really like Typhlosion.
The fights get way harder as you go, and the computer cheats more and more.

Shiny Mewtwo thing might be a bust. It seems like the 2016 International Challenge June Masters Division is all done and calculated, and I got no Play points, so no shiny Mewtwo. I think.
I checked earlier and results were still being tabulated, there was a little flag on the competition icon on the site saying "calculating results," and now there isn't. Here's the full results with rankings and all.
I participated in 5 battles and lost them all. It was thought that 2-3 battles were required to get one or more points, but I got no points:
But yet...the shiny Mewtwo announcement page specifically told people to play in the June competition to become eligible for it:
The whole thing seems so nebulous. Anyone have any input? Any encouragement that points might still be coming and/or eligibility for the Mewtwo? Anyone got any points for this thing? The heck is going on?

Someone who's competed often probably knows better, but I think Play Points are calculated at the end of a season, not a competition.
Not sure when the current end of season is though.
EDIT: It also says you get the e-mail in "late July" and it's early July right now : P

You get the Mewtwo email in late July, not the points. You need points to get the Mewtwo. So if we don't have points by the time the Mewtwo email goes out, well...

Well I only want to get the last trophy. Not sure why doubles is harder.

Fair enough, but my first point holds. I heard it took a month between the results of the previous International Challenge for points to be allocated.

In the middle of a match on battle spot where all I can do is wait to win by the time out tie breaker. We each have one pokemon left, and neither can hurt the other at this point (except for the burn on my opponent's Blissey). Since I have a burn on them and my Pokemon is at full hp, there's literally no way for me to lose the tie breaker since I'll always have higher average hp, but annoyingly my opponent has refused to forfeit for a good long while in this over 10 minute long stalemate
edit: Ok that's bullshit, it gave them the win despite me being at full hp and there one pokemon being at less (Rules should have them lose the tiebreaker)

It's higher HP percentage of your entire team including your fainted Pokemon. If the opponent's Blissey was close to full health then you didn't have much of a chance there :/
It has been several weeks in the past to get CP and PP added to accounts after an International Challenge. For this one I'd expect it to happen in the next week as Worlds Day 2 invites need to be confirmed. No one has points from it yet.

Meloetta isn't until December. So you've not yet missed it.
Also, don't feel bad about the points for Shiny Mewtwo. I just logged into both of my accounts and mine looks exactly like yours. Big fat goose eggs. I'm just hoping it's not yet been added. Though if I don't get it by late July I am table flipping.
And if I have to take a table with me to Bellevue and flip it in front of TPC, so be it.
