Breloom QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>High Attack, decent Speed, and access to the only 100% accurate sleep-inducing move instantly makes Breloom a force to be reckoned with. Its Fighting / Grass typing is a really great offensive typing, allowing Breloom to defeat 4 of...

Dusknoir QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 1/2 [Overview] <p>A Trick Room staple for years, Dusknoir found its usage dropping quickly once its pre-evolution, Dusclops, got a defense boost in the form of Eviolite. While it may not tank the hits its pre-evolution does, Dusknoir is still able to set up...

From left to right: JRank, lucariojr, mattj, hanging out at the Crestwood, MO Regional Preface: Introductions What if I told you that a boy would be nearly destroyed by arrogance, and be forced to turn himself around in a few months to face his greatest challenge yet? My name's Jonathan...

Gyarados QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>With Zapdos being the most used Pokemon in VGC 2012, one may look at Gyarados and immediately write it off due to its crippling 4x weakness to Electric-type attacks. Although its weakness to Electric-type moves holds Gyarados back...

Kabutops QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>While most Pokemon who possess the ability Swift Swim have higher Special Attack than Attack, Kabutops opposes this stereotype, possessing a higher Attack stat compared to its Special Attack stat. Thus, Kabutops is probably one of...

Darmanitan QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>A high Attack stat, above-average Speed, and a fantastic ability seem to set Darmanitan up for great things in VGC 2012. Unfortunately, this is the exception rather than the norm. Common spread moves such as Rock Slide, Surf, and...

Venusaur QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>Out of all the Chlorophyll users, Venusaur is perhaps the most balanced. Not fast and frail, nor bulky with a great support movepool, it has a little bit of everything. This has its benefits, but with benefits come downsides. Trying...

Shiftry QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>Possessing great attacking stats and an excellent ability in Chlorophyll, Shiftry is built for high-octane offense. Two great STABs in Dark and Grass further aid its ability to hit hard and deal damage. Unfortunately, Shiftry is weak...

Jumpluff QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>One may ignore Jumpluff at first glance, as it lacks decent stats or an extensive movepool. Upon closer inspection, however, one can see that Jumpluff has some niche thanks to its great ability, Chlorophyll, and a fantastic movepool...

Hitmontop QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>Hitmontop burst onto the scene in VGC 2010, forming one half of the famed "TopOgre" combo. While its partner in crime, Kyogre, may be banned this year, Hitmontop is a great Pokemon in its own right. Possessing two amazing abilities...

Toxicroak QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>With poor defenses, above-average Attack, and mediocre Speed, some may wonder why Toxicroak should be considered at all. However, Toxicroak's Dry Skin ability allows it to recover some of its HP every turn rain is falling. In...

Ninetales QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>While Ninetales may have often been forgotten in VGC past, labeled as "too weak" and "too frail", in Gen V it gets access to an ability that rockets it upwards in usage: Drought. The ability to bring eternal sun instantly makes...

Weavile Notable Aspects: Very fast, great coverage with just a few moves, stops set-up Pokemon very easily. Ice is great on offense, murdering Dragon-types, but it's a terrible defensive typing, leaving it weak to common spread moves Heat Wave and Rock Slide. Dark allows Weavile to dent most...

Simisage QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>Some people may look at Simisage and pass him off as too weak and frail to be viable in VGC. Those people are right. One would be hard-pressed to find a spot for Simisage on their team, but decent attacking stats and above average Speed...

JRank here again with my warstory for VGC Nationals 2011. I'm not good at introductions so here we go! (note: whenever I refer to "we," I'm usually speaking about myself, werecario, and my Dad) Wednesday, July 6th werecario was due to arrive at my house at around 9 PM, so I spent the day...

Crustle Original analysis here QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>With poor Speed and average Attack, Crustle seems destined to fall to the bottom of the VGC barrel. However, access to boosting moves in Swords Dance and Shell Smash allows Crustle to boost its Attack to...

Durant QC Checks: 2/2 GP Checks: 2/2 [Overview] <p>With base 109 Attack and Speed and a fabulous STAB in Bug, Durant has the potential to be a real force in the VGC 2011 metagame. Unfortunately, while Durant's typing is a blessing for its offensive prowess, it is a liability for its defensive...
