Prospective managers and players are encouraged to join the Smogon ADV community Discord if there are any questions or concerns.
Retains will be allowed in this edition as the format has not been expanded.
Each team will be allowed to retain at most 3 players from their retain pool and self-purchasing managers (so if you choose to self purchase 1 manager you only get 2 retains etc.). Teams must notify the host team of any retains prior to the player auction.
The cost to retain a player on their first year as a retention will be max(10k, previous price + 3k). Examples:
Example: If UD was retained for 16k last ADVPL , it would cost 22k to retain him in this one, and 31k to retain him in the next one.
Players that are retained will be locked into the same tiers that they were locked in the year prior.
