    Canada Day (Canadian Nationals Story) but first...

    You must answer this Quiz Question: How tall is Magmar? Why Magmar? Because it's Blaine, and because it's always Magmar. This is R Inanimate, and this is my Top 8 Warstory. There will be a lack of pictures, since I don't really take pictures of things, sadly. Thursday Thursday was a fairly...

    Wobbuffet

    So Nanoka? [Overview] <p>With only 8 moves, no access to Protect, and no way to attack an opponent directly, Wobbuffet is definitely a strange choice for VGC. Using Shadow Tag to cut off the opponent's ability to switch is Wobbuffet's primary function, providing an opportunity to use a few...

    Regigigas

    Hail to the king! [Overview] <p>If you're wondering what Regigigas&mdash;a Pokemon that cannot learn Protect and has its Speed and Attack halved for an eternity&mdash;is doing in VGC, you're not alone. However, behind the facade of a harmless giant is a monster with massive defenses and...

    A Homefield Advantage, West Canada Regional Warstory

    The first Canadian regionals, huh... things sure have come a long way from Canadians not being eligable for playing at Pokemon events. Team: Politoed ***Asclepius IVs: 31/11/20/31/31/31 Timid Ludicolo ***Klarwind IVs: 30/23/31/31/31/31 Timid Metagross ***Graf Eisen IVs: 29/31/29/xx/31/23...

    Relicanth

    Not even a mass extinction event can eliminate Relicanth. Thank god for Sturdy. [Overview] <p>Relicanth is an underappreciated Swift Swim Pokemon, similar in role to Kabutops. While it lacks the Speed and power of its ancient brethren, it makes up for this with a sizable amount of added bulk...

    Accelgor

    1-2-3... RIDER KICK! [Overview] <p>Fast and frail, Accelgor tries to make the most of the short time it has. While Accelgor's offensive movepool isn't the best in its class, moves such as Final Gambit, Encore, and Acid Spray let it become extremely dangerous if underestimated. If you're...

    Qwilfish

    [Overview] <p>With plenty of swift swimming fish in the sea, Qwilfish doesn't do too much to stand out above the waves. While it has a relatively unique Water / Poison typing, it is weighed down by a shallow movepool and mediocre base stats. Qwilfish is the only Swift Swim Pokemon able to use...

    Archeops

    Below half health? Give up on the battle. [Overview] <p>The battle isn't over until you have fainted, but unfortunately Archeops does not believe that this is the case. Archeops's impressive base 140 Attack and 110 Speed are held back by the combination of its poor defensive typing, subpar...

    Togetic

    Just how long are you going to follow me for? [Overview] <p> The only reason Togetic would be considered over Togekiss on a team is its abilitly to utilize Evolite. This item provides Togetic with a respectable increase of durability over Togekiss, but in return, Togetic is much weaker...

    Poliwrath

    Now you shall face my Wrath! [Overview] <p>While often overlooked due to its fellow amphibian&mdash;Politoed&mdash;acquiring Drizzle as a Dream World ability, Poliwrath is valid Pokemon in VGC in its own right. Sporting two water related abilities in Swift Swim and Water Absorb, it can...

    Guide to Team Preview in VGC (WIP)

    1. Introduction "The opponent is running a Zapdos / Latios / Hitmontop / Metagross / Tyranitar / Garchomp for their team. What can I expect from such a team?" As of 2011, battles in VGC have Team Preview active. This causes a major change in the metagame at the events, as it gives a valid...

    Arcanine

    [Overview] <p>With well rounded stats and access to Intimidate, Arcanine can play both an offensive and a defensive role on a team. BW has been kind to Arcanine, providing it with Close Combat and Wild Charge, thus allowing it to have a respectable physical movepool. Although its typing...

    Zebstrika

    The most electrifying zebra in Pokemon entertainment. [Overview] <p>Zebstrika has an impressive 116 Speed, but falls a bit short when it comes to its other stats and has a shallow movepool. One thing Zebstrika can do well is abuse Lightningrod. By having a partner use Discharge to boost...

    Kangaskhan

    Khan Artist [Overview] <p>Kangaskhan's main selling point is its ability, Scrappy, which allows its Normal- and Fighting-type attacks to hit Ghost-type Pokemon, thus making Kangaskhan the only Pokemon that can use Fake Out on a Ghost-type Pokemon. In addition to this, Scrappy reduces the...

    Aron

    About as Sturdy as they get. [Overview] <p>With Sturdy now acting as a permanant Focus Sash, Aron becomes an interesting option for perfoming a FEAR strategy. While it may not have as many support options as Whimsicott or Smeargle have, its immunity to Sandstorm and freedom to choose its own...

    Gorebyss

    Gorebyss used Hydro Pump! Foe's Latios lost 100% of its health! [Overview] <p>With plenty of fish in the sea to choose from, Gorebyss may seem like a strange choice. While it has a great base 114 Special Attack, its other stats are nothing to write home about. What makes Gorebyss interesting...

    Staraptor

    HALT, I AM StaREPTAR! [Overview] <p>With high power moves, an impressive base 120 Attack, and a decent base 100 Speed, Staraptor charges towards its opponents head first, hitting hard and fast. Receiving both the Intimidate and Reckless abilities, it can choose between providing support for...

    Cacturne

    Cacturne Looking for hugs. [Overview] <p>Cacturne is certainly an odd Pokemon in VGC. With base 115 Attack and Special Attack, its stats are geared towards offense, but its low defenses cause it to take damage as hard as it can deal it out. Its base 55 Speed is fairly low, but can be seen as...

    Zoroark (GP 2/2)

    Jellicent used SUCKER PUNCH? It's more likely than you may think. [Overview] <p>With a respectable 105 Atk and 120 SpA, and enough of a movepool to utilize them, Zoroark can do some serious damage if left alone. However, with its poor base 60 / 60 / 60 defenses, Zoroark can be OHKOed by...
