What type of bug are you reporting? Validator What is the bug? Multiple species can be caught in DPPt below their normal evolution level due to the Dongle Method (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dual-slot_mode#Dongle_method). This is a similar situation to catching an underleveled...

Following oops's post, I'd like to highlight strong players I know for 2009 and 2013. Top Picks oopsgtg - I consider oops to be the best active VGC 2013 player in the world and in contention with AsuX as possibly the best active VGC 2009 player. Oops has won more than half of all 2013...

Excited to play in my first VGC Classics PL! As a competitor from 2009-2015 and an active member of the retro VGC community, I hope not just to play well but to also offer assistance to my teammates. Also I really hope 2009 makes it in over Series 7/9.

I agree with Radio, Lucien, and Charlie that 2014>2015. 2015 is a fantastic format for skill expression and battle complexity, but not for teambuilding expression. 2014 with its variety of offensive threats makes for a better than CHALK mirrors. I wholly agree with 2009 as a format. Generation...

Thoughts on "VGC2009" (Gen. IV National Dex 4v4 Doubles) Rule Variations Due to multiple game mechanics differences (Pt. vs. HGSS; no preview vs. team preview; item switch vs. item lock), we haven't agreed on a standard ruleset when we say "VGC2009". While VGC2009 has an exactly defined ruleset...

ADV (aka Gen. III aka Gen. 3) Doubles GBA Port Priority I'm posting this here for posterity. While it's mostly irrelevant due to most ADV Doubles battles taking place on Showdown (which implements Switch Priority Clause Mod), ADV DOU battles may rarely be played via GBA netplay, and in-person...

Post-Ladder Reflection While I stand by my original assessment that this format is centralized and not highly competitive, I'm relieved that teambuilding innovations made laddering not as bad as I remembered it being in the year 2011. I had fun playing this format for a month, but I don't want...

Introduction Hello everyone! My name is Kristian Mosquito. I competed in the Seniors Division of the 2011 VGC circuit, ranking 5th Place at the 2011 US National Championships and competing in the 2011 World Championships. I would like to share my perspective on VGC 2011, why I have considered it...

As a long-time VGC competitor, I would love and actively engage if "past VGC format" was implemented as a rotating ladder. Consider that we can do an entire year without ever repeating formats: PL 2005/Orre Colosseum JAA 2006 VGCs 2009-2018 (skipping 2012 because 2013 is an upgrade) VGC 2019...

"Event" Limitations This is literally a normal Suicune caught in Pokémon Colosseum, except it gets Hydro Pump at level 40. That's it. PID/IVs Based on my PokéFinder investigation, Suicune in Colosseum is a Non Shadow Lock Pokémon. This means there aren't any additional limitations on it. It can...

What type of bug are you reporting? Validator What is the bug? Suicune with Hydro Pump is not permitted on teams in the VGC 2009 format. This would be correct in normal circumstances, as Suicune does not learn Hydro Pump until level 71 in Generations III and IV, and VGC 2009 must have...
