In standard tournament play, teaming with a Figure Player for [[doubles]] is universally banned, outside of rare side events centered around that premise. While tournaments may occasionally allow players without a partner to team with a CPU as long as they pay double the entry fee, teaming with a Figure Player isn't allowed due to the immense statistical buffs they have even if not fed any equipment/spirits.
