Regulation M-C is a Pokémon Champions Ranked Doubles ruleset; this page explains its rules, verified changes from the previous ruleset and selectable Pokémon.

Each regulation sets which Pokémon can be picked and the conditions for Ranked Battles over a period. No VGC background is needed: the rules section states what to remember, the changes section shows what is new, and the Pokémon section looks up each form.
