How about 0 Speed Alolan Marowak? I definitely think this thing will be prominent in the meta. Here's a generic set (choosing Perish Song because it's an egg move even though I doubt most Marowak would run it) Marowak-Alola @ Thick Club Ability: Lightning Rod Level: 50 EVs: 252 HP / 252...

To prevent you from being Imprisoned, since only a handful of Pokemon get Detect.

Really cool team, and considering you're new to VGC this is a really solid start. Any suggestions I would make aren't necessarily improvements and would need to be tested and tweaked, but I'll just point out a few things that I noticed. Personally, I would focus on making a trick room mode...

This is awesome :) I grabbed up a bunch of items that will make it easier for me to make battle ready teams. If you're taking suggestions for VGC mons, mons that are Pokemon HOME exclusives would be great, like Venusaur, Primarina and Incineroar would be fantastic. Thanks a lot either way :D

Really cool team, but I have to agree some of these sets don't make a whole lot of sense. I personally don't have a huge issue with the item choice in Zard, but the spread makes no sense. You really want Zard to be fast given that speed boosts are immediate now, meaning Max Airstreams will...

I'm also pretty new to this VGC format, but there are some suggestions that I think I can make. Firstly, your Ferrothorn's HP stat could be improved. If you stick with Leftovers as your item, you'll want 212 HP EVs. This gives you a HP stat of 176 which is divisible by 16, essentially...

Introduction/Teambuilding Hi everyone. So I've been casually playing VGC formats from the end of VGC15 to mid VGC17 until I stopped playing competitive Pokemon until very recently to focus on studying. Since I basically have nothing but time for a while I thought I might as well get back in to...

Right out of the gate Cinderace, Seismitoad and Drapion are all very unconventional picks which is cool if they're there to actually counter particular mons in the metagame or are central to a particular strategy, but they kind of just seem there for the sake of it. Looking at the metagame...

Singles VGC doesn't exist. I think you mean Battle Stadium Singles (BSS). Anyway I have literally zero experience in gen 8 BSS so I don't really have any team change suggestions. You're more likely to have someone who can help if you get rid of VGC in your thread title and flair though. It does...

Awesome list! I just have a few suggestions (any mons I list are in no particular order for the most part and the lists are not exhaustive): Make the text in Boosting readable haha Weakness Policy - Add Tyranitar, G-Max Lapras and G-Max Coalossal (a bit gimmicky but it's had some success and...

LunOgre Squad (VGC 19 Sun Series) Introduction Hey guys, I'd like to get some feedback on a team that I've been working on for a little bit. I really haven't had as much time as I would have liked to to play this format, and I've only really peaked at around the 1400s on the showdown ladder...

I think you're doing yourself a disservice by not running any speed on your Groudon, Heatran and Incineroar. Your team has no form of speed control and Groudon and Incineroar are so often speed crept that even a minimal amount of investment can go a long way. Tbh I think you would just be better...

I agree with all of these changes. I would say B- for Zygarde, mostly due to the usage and the fact that I don't think it has been used all that much outside of the Solgaleo/Zygarde/Fini/Incineroar/Toxicroak/Venusaur squad and a much less used squad I saw a bit on showdown of...

So as one of your first teams for the new format, I don't think this is a bad start. I think the main issues you're having is your justification for having certain mons on the team. Instead of having Scizor on the team because technician bullet punch is strong, you should be thinking how it...

I'm not disagreeing with the core sentiment here, but I just want to clear up some inaccuracies in your post. Firstly, Empoleon gets Grass Knot which does 2HKO no bulk Kyogre with a bit of investment. 60+ SpA Empoleon Grass Knot (120 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Kyogre: 88-104 (50 - 59%) -- guaranteed...

So it's a team for the current VGC19 format. It seems to have 2 main modes to it, a trick room mode where you're trying to get Groudon in to spam big P Blades, potentially under Gravity, and a faster I guess "take out the steels a win with Xerneas" mode. In terms of items, Iron Ball Groudon...

I have updated the sheet that I made with the rank changes. The difference between the mean and the median averages of the CP earned within the tiers are much closer now, suggesting there are far fewer extreme cases. I do want to mention that the changes for Togedemaru and Victreebel don't...

I'm not quite sure what you mean when it comes to the ordering. The list on the left should be the same exact order as used in your post. The one on the right is just literally the same order as vgcstats, and that is just to show visually how your list compares to theirs. So seeing blue and...

So I thought it would be useful to have the CP that each Pokemon has earned next to their ranking so I compiled the information from vgcstats.com in to a spreadsheet. I also took the mean and median CP for the Pokemon in each tier and for the most part there is a downward trend between ranks as...

I wouldn't bother doing the homework assignment. Nobody is reviewing them any more so there isn't really much point. The post was made during the VGC17 format when quite a lot of new players were posting incomplete, gimmicky or straight up unviable teams and asking to essentially make the team...
