So funny story - my local VGC community ran a tournament at the very end of Sword and Shield. The prize for first and second place was a copy of Violet and a copy of Scarlet, with the winner getting first pick - I won and chose Violet. Now here's the funny thing - the guy who got second place...

i feel it this is the gen i return ---- threw together a team and made it up to 1200 real quick, that's no numbers but the ladder is very fresh - this is a great time to be learning the meta :) great thing about bss is the broken stuff sticks around all gen long, so the meta is pretty well...

Krookodile @ Choice Scarf Ability: Intimidate Level: 50 EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Darkest Lariat - High Horsepower - Rock Slide - Taunt / Snarl / Earthquake So I've been having fun with this mon as an offensive support, and I think if we're talking underrated Pokemon choices...

heppy 2k my love. hope you're doing well <333333 (that babby hula pic is fire)

Assault Vest is a bad item for this format imo because it forces defensive Pokemon to act offensively, and offensive Pokemon to act defensively. It may feel like a good call because it's honestly really clever design (and in longer formats like OU it does have a niche!) but it's not because of...

no shit september will be over by then. eat as much shit as you want

I'm so glad that Centiskorch has come up because it's actually a brilliant Volc stop. I've been using it on balance a fair amount with this set and it's been putting in the work: Centiskorch @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Flash Fire EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD Careful Nature - Fire Lash...

I've been looking into this mon's potential as a stallbreaker actually! The set I've been using takes a different tack to yours, however: Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Metronome Ability: Unseen Fist EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Substitute - Surging Strikes - Drain Punch - Thunder...
