    Suggestions on how to make CC more enjoyable:

    - No eviolite on evolved pokemon
    - No mega stone on pokemon they don't belong to (or when a poke has a mega stone, switch to appropriate mega stone if possible)
    - No choice band if the poke has no physical attack moves
    - No choice specs if the poke has no special attack moves
    - No big root if the poke has no draining moves
    - No type-boosting item if the pokemon has no attacking move of that type

    Please add more suggestions if you have!

    In my opinion, I don't feel like these changes are really needed. Part of the fun of Challenge Cup is the chaos of stuff like getting useless items. It also makes it more enjoyable when you actually get lucky enough to get an item that works (like a proper mega stone). I think if you got a Mega Pokemon every time you got a Mega stone it would actually make it less enjoyable to get megas. I mean, even if these changes do happen, how far do you go? Should you remove Flame/Toxic Orb, Black Sludge, Ring Target, Iron Ball, Macho Brace, Stick, Mail, and Sticky Barb too? What about Choice Scarf being on something like Munchlax? Do you try making the moves more balanced? (i.e. yesterday I battled someone in HCC with a Porygon2 with Harden, Iron Defense, and Cotton Guard). These kind of changes just seem like they would start to turn Challenge Cup into a terrible version of Battle Factory.

    I agree with E.T., only thing that makes CC fun ( depends for who though ) is the fact everything is random and it never caused any troubles :x So let it stay how it is now imo :)
