who would be better partners then?
Heatran's best partner is probably Cresselia, as she can disable many Pokemon that give Heatran trouble.who would be better partners then?
Yes lol dunno why they wouldn't be tbh. But I have used plenty of ribboned Pokés in VGC. Actually it's probably more like 1 lol.Are ribboned event Pokemon such as the VGC 2012 Larvitar and the Japanese event Ludicolo legal to use?
Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it. If there are any other tips you could offer, they'd be greatly accepted and that goes for every one not just Thadenvy.1. Get used to EV-training, Breeding, and try to care more about IV's. Also natures. They are pretty crucial as well.
2. No. You have to use the programs to find out the seeds needed to RNG pokemon.
3. You give them a Lucky Egg and run through the last possible route in the world and just grind, or you hoard as many rare candies as possible and stuff your pokemon with them.
4. You can understand more about EV-training from here: http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/bw_ev
All the new hidden abilities from Icy Cave (except the Unova mons, since they're BW2 only). That's the only change that I can think of.Any interesting new additions to the VGC2012 metagame since the Summer Nationals?
1. The main thing you need to learn, other than things that can only come from experience, is the metagame - what works and what doesn't work. Since not much metagame discussion goes on here (aside from this thread, the VGC forum is mostly about the events themselves), your best resources are the strategy dex (click the VGC '12 tab after selecting a Pokémon to see its analysis for the current metagame) and the RMT forum (look for threads with the (VGC) tag). Use that information to put together a team, then start practicing with it as explained here to start getting some experience.Well I have 4 questions.
1. Any advice for a starting noob (competitive battling)?
2. Is there a way to abuse the RNG without use of special programs?
3. How do you get pokemon to level 100 quickly(in-game methods only please).
4. How do you keep track of allocated ev's?
Thanks for all your help in advance!
Most recent stats I can find are from June. As for the RMT question, that's entirely up to you.anyone know where the usage stats are? like, a recent one at least? i remember a couple of topics about it but idk where they went
also, should i post a rmt of my purple nats team?
Don't count it. You might get an easy matchup in the first round or two, but you're not going to finish anywhere near the top without beating some EV-trained teams.Just wondering, but does everybody at the VGC EV train? I want to be lucky and get an opponent who doesn't.
More than likely not. With the TCG there are very many (between BRs-if they have CP-Cities, S/P/Ts, Regionals, and Nationals) chances to earn CP. With the VGC there are 3 Regionals and 1 Nationals to earn CP at, with 10 at the most for regionals (I don't know how many nationals winners received), one would have to place in the Top 4 at nearly every event to have more than 10-15 CP. Until we have more events I doubt that Worlds qualification will be allowed from CP.Does the new rule about not just top 40 players get into worlds, but anyone above a certain threahold amount of championship points gets in, is this just for TCG or vgc as well ?
