(→Stages: Restructured the list a bit, stagelists have mostly settled by now. Lylat and Kalos are never used as starters, and stages such as Yoshi's Brawl and Unova are not used at all anymore. Tentatively adding Hollow Bastion to counterpick, though the sentiment I've seen so far is for adding it as a neutral stage.) |

Since the competitive scene is still rather young, and because of the sheer number of stages and the option to turn off stage hazards, there is no universally agreed upon stage list. This is why some tournaments use stages that are banned in others. When the losing player is choosing a counterpick stage, the winning player is typically allowed to ban two stages they have not counterpicked to or won on in the set. The list compiled below is an estimate based off of tournaments up to {{Trn|Ultimate Nimbus}}. While [[Small Battlefield]] has not seen much tournament play due to the lack of offline tournaments since its introduction, the stage is considered legal at the moment and may be used as a substitute for either Pokémon Stadium. The legality of [[Minecraft World]] is debated, due to the ability to choose specific forms, however the lack of offline tournaments since its introduction have inhibited the discussion to a degree.
