While it is similar to the Club Battle held in Nimbasa Town, it focuses more on hand-to-hand combat as it is a tournament geared towards Trainers of Fighting-typePokémon. However, Pokémon of all types are allowed to participate. The winner receives a year's supply of vitamins.
The Clubsplosion is a 16-competitor tournament consisting of four rounds, and entrants are allowed one Pokémon each. All rounds consisted of Single Battles against randomly matched up Trainers by a computer.
In both the original Japanese version and the English dub, Don George's pupil, the referee, has the same voice (and actor) that he had in the Club Battle, but with more of a throaty rasp.
