TerraPult https://pokepast.es/c3b15a3fd3584070 I wanted to build around the TerraPult combo, as I think it's one of the most entertaining combos in the current format. Let's get to the team! Dragapult (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Clear Body Level: 50 EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly...

Very informative rate, thank you very much! I've gone back to the drawing board, and here's my next team iteration: Please let me know what you think!

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I played VGC, so I thought that I might try my hand at Series 9! Let's get to the team: At a Glance It's quite a balanced team, centered around the classic Heatran+Cresselia duo. I'm quite unfamiliar with the current VGC metagame, so I've decided to...

Please could I request Dynamax Candy? I don't know if this request has been made already, so please correct me if this is irrelevant/inappropriate.

Such an incredible resource. I was wondering, is non-galarian Zapdos in the pipeline? I know legendary requests are now closed, but if they open again it would be my first request! (Especially with Static!) :))

"The Homecoming" by Arnold Böcklin It's been nearly 5 years since I've played VGC properly (the last time being in the 2016 format!), so now that I've actually bought a Nintendo Switch, I felt that it was a good opportunity for me to jump into the new format! I'm new to Gen 8, as I've only just...

I didn't know that! Thank you!!

Hi! I'm a VGC veteran looking for a viable Landorus-Therian to use in the new VGC 2021 format :) I'm new to SwSh, so my trade offers are all from previous titles! For example, I can offer in return a 5xIV Adamant Landorus-Therian (Pentagon mark). Please enquire for other offers, I have plenty...

Testing the Waters ~A Return to VGC~ Hey everyone! It's been such a long time since I last played Pokemon, or VGC for that matter, so I thought I'd have a go at seeing what sort of team I can make in this new format. Since legendaries are back, it seemed right to return to VGC this year given...

This week's winning VGC rate is from Bright Size! His very impressive rate covers an incredible range of points on Milad's team He gives innovative sample sets, all whilst maintaining an fantastic amount of skill in presentation, as well as providing links to recent analyses of relevant teams...

Congrats man :) Keep up the good work

From messing about on the damage calc, I found that relaxed bronzong with heatproof will optimise its matchup against groudon in pretty cool fashion: A defensive spread of 228 HP / 220+ Def / 52 SpD will allow bronzong to survive a precipice blades from 252+ Atk groudon as well as an earth...

This week's winning VGC rate goes to the very recently badged rater, GradeAGarchomp! His rate goes into a fantastic amount of depth, covering each point with a sizable paragraph of detailed analysis. He begins his rate by identifying that the team has no reliable Xerneas checks, so he decides...

Made this quite a while back but hopefully this should give you a few ideas http://nuggetbridge.com/blogs/entry/1734-non-restricted-water-types-in-vgc-16/

Another awesome rate man, keep up the quality :) Just a short reply: I would definitely agree with the switch to bronzong, it would be a much safer pick for the team and would certainly be easier to use. Mega venusaur is mentioned in my rates as a way to keep the team's original theme, but I...

Clefairy is a great pick on this team :) You may find it fun to experiment with slightly more bulky groudon spreads, so that it can survive stuff like an earth power from opposing groudon whilst under the protection of friend guard, but firstly onto clefairy: Clefairy @ Eviolite Ability...

The VGC 16 ladder has unfortunately gone down in this new season in case you were thinking of running the team online. I still don't know why they decided to delete the ladder a month or so before worlds, but showdown is kinda now the place to battle if you want to try out the team :)

Hey Milad :D This is a really creative team, with some VGC '15-esque choices that I think are pretty cool. I'll cover your teambuilding choices in this rate and give you some advice on what you could do with this team to optimise it for this year's metagame, as well as just some general advice...

Hey Smogon, Draconid here, with what looks like one of the last of my RMTs for this year's VGC season. Since my last RMT, I have set up a poll asking for opinions on "what archetype you would like to see me build around next", and 10 users selected the mewtwo+primal groudon archetype (calling...

Updated the thread with new frameworks and more! I would love it if you guys could feed back to me if there is anything that could be improved on this thread I've looked through all the existing frameworks and improved them according to changes in the meta, etc. I hope you can still learn a...
