Can I use a level 1 pokemon, or will it be brought to level 50?
Actually that's not true, it has been that way in the past but the current ruleset will automatically level things up to 50.No just above lvl 50 will be brought down to 50 anything below stays as is
Incineroar isnt viable in VGC'17.Like others say, Alola Muk, Garchomp, Tapu Fini, Mandibuzz, Gyarados, Gigalith, Gastrodon, Krookodile, Politoed, Pelipper, Incineroar
Incineroar is viable, it just isn't a top pick. Fake Out is still valuable despite the addition of Psychic Terrain, secondary Dark typing makes it a better check to Lele and Marowak than the other Fire-types, and it has some unique utility options in Taunt and slow bulky U-turn. Arcanine or Marowak is a better choice for most teams, but Incineroar falls solidly into the category of "viable but niche".Incineroar isnt viable in VGC'17.
It's allowedIs parting shot still banned now that the glitch has been fixed?
It's good for multiple reasons:What is the role of substitute in doubles? What kinds of Pokemon benefit from it/should consider using it?
Mudsdale is great against Muk which could be annoying for that core. Curse Snorlax can go with nearly any team imo. Gigalith helps with opposing Arcanine and for strong neutral damage--the most common mons that can comfortably take Gigalith's Rock-types attacks are hit by Porygon2's BoltBeam coverage (Garchomp, Tapu Fini) or Arcanine's Flare Blitz (Kartana, Celesteela).What are some TR-compatible Pokémon other than Araquinid and Alolan Muk that would go well with Porygon-2 and a Kartana / Tapu Koko / Arcanine core?
Well Tommy Cooleen has now top cut two internationals using double duck + Tapu Koko, Muk, and Porygon2, so that's probably a good bet. Other than those mons, Kartana and Vikavolt also seem like solid partners. Both are strong against opposing Water-types which wall your rain offense, and Vikavolt is a fairly good check to opposing Kartana. Togedemaru could also be interesting to redirect Electric attacks and provide Fake Out.Hi! What are some great teammates to the weather core formed by Drizzle Pelipper+Z-move Swift Swim Golduck?
It doesn't expire until the end of April, but for some reason it doesn't show up on Global Link for some people. Go here while logged in to get your code.Hey all, is it too late to redeem your prize for entering the february IC? I dont see a link in the global link
Yes it is. As long as it passes hack check (if you can use it on Battle Spot, it passes) then you can use it.Hi guys! is it possible to use a traded japanese celesteela in the vgc events? I got it through gts and traded it for my celesteela.
gigalith is a lot more commonWere there any meta shifts since February?
The first spread or similar is usually going to be better. Drifblim relies a lot on being faster than your opponents--the second spread will outspeed unboosted mons, but the first can also outspeed most scarf mons (up through kartana). Being able to burn scarf kartana before it can hit your partner, not worry about scarf garchomp getting a rock slide flinch to stop your tailwind, etc is very nice. The high special attack is also really important to keep drifblim from being dead weight after it sets tailwind. A lot of the time you really want drifblim to get KOd quickly after it sets tailwind, get a free switch into a strong attacker, and use the rest of tailwind to tear up the other team. Your opponent might recognize this and focus on dealing with its partner first, waiting to KO it until tailwind is about to expire. If drifblim has a lot of offensive investment though, it can deal enough damage with shadow ball that your opponent can't afford to ignore it for too long.Heyho, saw 2 pretty interesting Splits for Drifblim:
Timid 4 HP / 132 Def / 204 SpA / 4 SpD / 164 Spe ( Trainertower)
Timid 12 HP / 236 Def / 12 SpA / 236 SpD / 12 Spe (Smogon)
Which one of these is better in general, even if they both have advantages and disadvantages?
It works. Moves are only blocked if they are targeted at an enemy--moves like Tailwind, Sunny Day, or Stealth Rock work because they aren't targeted, Follow Me will work because it's self-targeted, and targeting an ally with Helping Hand (or Water Shuriken in Palossand strats) will also work.Hi, anyone knows if Prankster Tailwind from Whimsicott works in psychic Terrain or is it blocked?
Thanks!
