Prizes
This event is an official Online Competition, but is not a part of any 2026 official circuit. This means that it does not reward any Championship Points (CPs).

Overview
The Terastal Crescendo is an official Online Competition featuring double battles. It is the sixth globally available Online Competition in the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games with a custom format, and the fourth played with double battles.
A little bit of history
Online Competitions are usually a part of the casual gameplay, but they have been featured in the official circuit for some years now. They are one of the few tournaments in which all world regions play together, and it generally grants National invites in TPC regions and Championship Points in TPCi regions.
Those that are not part of the official circuits usually run a custom format. The last one of those was the Team Star Challenge, a single-battle Online Competition played in November 2024. The custom ruleset allowed for any Pokémon featured on the teams of Team Star bosses (Giacomo, Mela, Atticus, Ortega, and Eri), and with the restriction that a Revavroom must be selected on every battle. First place was earned by Japanese player Okina, who used this team to finish at a rating of 1886. Okina surpassed fellow Japanese Yuchama, who used this other team to earn a rating of 1846.
The most recent Online Competition featuring double battles was the Blueberry Prologue, played in January 2024. The custom ruleset allowed for any Pokémon in the Blueberry Pokédex. First place was earned by Japanese player Myon, who used this team to finish at a rating of 1905. Myon surpassed Japanese-Australian Masayoshi Kuroo, who used this other team to earn a rating of 1895.
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
