Considering there's no mentioning of stats and such within the CS I'd imagine this should be a solid yes. I think the whole "competitive" side of this is more so up to debate between players, rather than pure stats on Pokemon.

Of course, this is coming from a person who made a character with goals outside of PVP which I don't have terrible interest in as dick-measuring is not a sport I prefer. I do like battling for decent story-reasons tho, because some wins and losses can be beneficial for development of a character and their story
