    VGC VGC2019 Ultra - Some ideas

    I'll say some points about each Pokemon individually: Infernape: As much as I don't want to say it, there's not much reason for running Infernape over Incineroar due to Intimidate, higher attack and higher bulk. I know that with Infernape you get STAB Close Combat and faster speed but it's...

    VGC Testing the Waters

    I'll add some points about each Pokemon individually: DM Necrozma: Pretty good although I would not recommend Trick Room since the only Pokemon that really benefits from Trick Room is Ferrothorn. A coverage move such as Earthquake would be better. From seeing the rest of your team, I'm...

    VGC My first VGC 2018

    I'll add my own opinion too: Excadrill: I would suggest running Jolly rather that Adamant since although it would have plenty of Speed in Sand, it may fail to outspeed many threats if the Sand expires or is replaced. Tyranitar: I wouldn't suggest running Dragon Dance if you're not Mega...

    VGC VGC 2018 team

    I actually thought I put Jolly on Metagross but I apparently didn't. Yeah, I'd agree with Jolly. The point of Heatran and Rotom-W is that they help counter each other's weaknesses. Rotom is a great counter against common Earthquake Pokemon such as Landorus and Excadrill and both of them get...

    VGC VGC 2018 team

    My main reason of putting Ferrothorn on my team was so I could counter Gastrodon. Also, I made sure that Buzzwole could survive an unboosted Flare Blitz from Incineroar and then OHKO Incineroar back counting in Intimidate and recoil. That's where Buzzwole's use comes in. Also, I usually use...

    VGC VGC 2018 Kommo-o Gengar Carry

    I was mainly looking at the sets of the individual Pokemon rather than the team itself and how it works with one another. My plan was to talk about the contribution to each member. I mean, you probably did a better job than me but I was just looking at what areas could be improved rather than...

    VGC VGC 2018 Kommo-o Gengar Carry

    I'll rate it for you: Mega Gengar: I'd say that's a pretty good Mega Gengar. I personally wouldn't run taunt but M-Gengar is a fast Pokemon so I guess it could work. Alolan Marowak: Also a really good set. I usually run Lightning Rod but running Rock Head is just as good though. Also, running...

    VGC VGC 2018 team

    So I ended up finding a good team for me to use and here is my explanation of it: Mega Metagross - Level 50 Ability: Clear Body - Tough Claws Item: Metagrossite Nature: Adamant EV Spread: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 HP - Iron Head - Zen Headbutt - Ice Punch - Protect This Metagross is an...

    VGC Let It Snow (VGC Abomasnow Team)

    I'll go through some points with you: Metagross: I wouldn't recommend running Bullet Punch. With 110 Speed and already having a main STAB move, Metagross doesn't really need it that much. Ice Punch would be a better alternative to hit Lando T with. Also, I would run Max-Speed. Pretty good...

    Sun/Moon Random Doubles Battle Sets

    Why are joke sets on Random Battles anyway? And that is the only one I've run into. (Plus, its moveset was alright so it wasn't entirely a joke set).

    Sun/Moon Random Doubles Battle Sets

    I ran into this: I recieved a Stunfisk that not only had Limber (a useless ability on it since it's part electric) but it also had a Cheri Berry (Out of all items) which would cure it from a Paralysis that it couldn't receive. Why does this exist again? Bit odd if you ask me.

    Also included are: An Aegislash with Shadow Ball, Shadow Sneak, Shadow Claw and Iron Head (No King Shield), a Xurkitree with no electric-type moves, a Mega Pidgeot with Heat Wave, U-Turn, Substitute and Protect (No Hurricane), a Tyrantrum with Rock Head and no Recoil moves, a Cresselia with...

    Doubles Doubles Viability Rankings

    Any mention of either form of Tornadus? They're pretty decent with Priority Tailwind, Regenerator, high speeds etc.
