In ''Smash 4'', the stage is universally banned, as the Pokémon in the background can sometimes interrupt gameplay. | In ''Smash 4'', the stage is universally banned, as the Pokémon in the background can sometimes interrupt gameplay. | ||
In ''Ultimate'', the stage is often considered a counterpick with hazards off, as it removes the hazardous Pokémon. Although it appears similar to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], its main platform is more narrow, and it has an irregular underside, while its blastzones are less wide but unusually tall. The irregular underside can cause certain characters, namely those with teleport recoveries, to bounce on the rock wall and self destruct if recovering low hugging the stage; this has caused many tournaments to decide to ban Unova Pokémon League altogether, although this has been a minor point of contention among the competitive community. | In ''Ultimate'', the stage is often considered a counterpick with hazards off, as it removes the hazardous Pokémon.

Since the release of [[Small Battlefield]], which provides a more standardized medium size "biplat" stage, Unova Pokémon League has steadily fallen in popularity and now sees next to no usage in tournament rulesets. | ||
