    VGC '14 Sunny Day Trick Room

    Figured I'd update this a little after taking a modified version of the team above to the Long Beach VGCs. I managed to place in the top 32 (went 7-2 in Flight B), but got bounced in the first round. I discovered some problems with this team, so I'm trying to tune it up for a Revision 2. This is...

    I can't seem to find an answer for this, does anyone know what determines the faint order from Perish Song? Is it just random?

    VGC '14 Sunny Day Trick Room

    Looking for a little feedback on this VGC team. All the EV spreads are (or tried to be) base 8 to account for the meta being level 50. I've been using this on Showdown to decent success, and crawled up to around a 1700 rating on Battle Spot (recently dropping to 1650) with it. On Battle Spot...

    Doubles XY Metagame Speculation (obviously spoilers)

    Is Sky Drop still banned in the VGC format? It could be an interesting way to screw with opponents synergy by removing a supporter or attack from the equation for a turn.

    Can't find an answer for this, does anyone know what happens when a Pokemon holding a mega stone uses trick? From what I can tell the items can't be removed by Knock Off or Trick when used against the mega stone holder, but not the other way around. Not getting my hopes up but Mega Banette...

    Poll for our default simulator tiering level

    The only reason I support level 50 is because it unifies things just a little bit with the official Pokemon competitive play. It isn't exactly the same environment, but it does unify damage expectations and EV training. Being able to train ourselves for what to expect damage wise, and not having...

    Is there a reason I'm not seeing any of these VGC regionals on the main site?

    VGC '11 US Northwest Regional - Seattle, WA - May 14th - WON BY biffsterPKMN

    I'll be there for my first VGC tourny. I like my team, just worried about the RNG at this point. Should be interesting. I'll be in the masters like pretty much everyone here.

    Stun Spore Tailwind (works better in Doubles) Sunny Day Tickle Fake Tears Switcheroo Worry Seed Charm Helping Hand (Doubles) Trick Room (not ideal user, but it works) Erufuun is all about forcing switches, and has plenty of utility to do so beyond Encore and Taunt. Obviously it has reduced...

    Substitute is great on all Erufuun sets, since it lets you scout and block status. It also allows you to run SubSeed as a secondary strategy. Running something like Encore/Sub/Leech Seed/Stun Spore or Taunt is perfect. Priority Encore, priority Substitutes, priority Leech Seed, priority Stun...

    Does Nature Power becoming Earthquake mean that its also physically based or does it remain a special attack?

    Trace Mainly because Pory2 and Gardevoir aren't enough. Trace is just bad ass. And it isn't like either sees that much use in OU anyways.

    And it has Swords Dance, and Seed Bomb, and Natural Gift. You could even attempt to use Quick Attack on a few sets though that probably isn't that useful.
