★ VGC 2025 Regulation I Metagame Discussion

[Ropalme1914]

- Zamazenta + Shadow Rider will win Worlds
- Incineroar will have the highest non-restricted Day 2 usage (and since I think too many will bet on that, I'll make it top 2 and Rillaboom will be the 2nd)
- Miraidon will have the 2nd highest Day 2 usage (Shadow Rider 1st, but Day 1 will be the inverse)
- Finals will be Ice Rider + Miraidon vs Shadow Rider + Zama
- Best placing Zacian will top 32 (since I feel that's too specific: breakthrough Restricted will be a single Specs Terapagos on Top 8, although I can also imagine Kyogre there instead, and Koraidon I don't consider breakthrough)
- Worlds will be won by someone who got into Worlds since at least the SwSh era.

WORLDS PREDICTIONS

• Miraidon + Calyrex-I will be the Restricted Combination that will win Worlds
• Incineroar will be the most used Non-Restricted Pokemon on Day 2
• Calyrex-S will be the 2nd most used Restricted Pokemon on Day 1
• The finals matchup will be Lunala + Koraidon vs Miraidon + Calyrex-I
• The best placing Zacian-C will be Top 32
• Worlds will be won by a player who started playing in S/V

The format I used if anyone else would like to try:

Which Restricted Combination will win Worlds?
What Non-Restricted Pokemon will have the highest usage on Day 2?
What Restricted Pokemon will have the 2nd highest usage on Day 1?
What will the finals matchup be?
Where will the best placing Zacian-C be?
Will Worlds be won by a player that started in S/V?

-Miraidon/Calyrex-Ice is my prediction, I agree on that because lots of people will probably have checks to CSR/Zama.
-Oh yeah, Incin, no contest here, probably both days lol.
-We know Miraidon is gonna be first, but I would say CSR, like you said.
-Lunala/Miraidon or CSR/Zama against CIR/Miraidon
-Top 8, someone bout to cook up an insane run with Swordfish trust.
-No, though it would be cool.
