Curious as to why they made the online competition force you to select a team after trying to register for it. I’m so confused, I miss how it use to be when you could register and then make the team while waiting for the competition to start.

Yeah I didn’t realize I wouldn’t be able to use the pokemon I selected for it in tera raid battles and I can’t find any information about withdrawing your registration. Really gonna be mad if I’m stuck unable to use those pokemon for anything for the next two weeks. There should be an option to cancel.
