VGC 2020 rules are announced.
https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/2020-pokemon-video-game-championships-vgc-format-rules/
>All battles will be Double Battles played in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield.
>Each player will need their own Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite and a physical or digital version of Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield to compete.
>Pokémon will need to have the Galar symbol, showing they were caught in the Galar region.
>All Pokémon from the Galar Regional Pokédex will be permitted except for Mythical Pokémon and certain Legendary Pokémon.
>All Pokémon will be set to Lv. 50, including Pokémon below Lv. 50.
>Duplicate Pokémon will not be allowed.
>Duplicate held items will not be allowed.
>Each battle will begin with a 90-second Team Preview phase.
>Players will have 7 minutes of Your Time, 45 seconds of Move Time, and (now returning to the VGC) 15 minutes of Game Time in each battle.
Only the following Gigantamax Pokemon are currently allowed:
>Butterfree
>Corviknight
>Drednaw
>Centiskorch
>Meowth
>Pikachu
>Eevee
>Snorlax
>Sandaconda
>Charizard (only permitted with the Ability Blaze)
So basically Gigantamax is allowed, but only the common event ones people can actually reasonably find.
