    VGC My First Team for Series 9

    Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I played VGC, so I thought that I might try my hand at Series 9! Let's get to the team: At a Glance It's quite a balanced team, centered around the classic Heatran+Cresselia duo. I'm quite unfamiliar with the current VGC metagame, so I've decided to...

    [Gen8] JPN Dittos + VGC mons + Useful Items Giveaway [CLOSED]

    Such an incredible resource. I was wondering, is non-galarian Zapdos in the pipeline? I know legendary requests are now closed, but if they open again it would be my first request! (Especially with Static!) :))

    VGC The Homecoming - A Return to VGC

    "The Homecoming" by Arnold Böcklin It's been nearly 5 years since I've played VGC properly (the last time being in the 2016 format!), so now that I've actually bought a Nintendo Switch, I felt that it was a good opportunity for me to jump into the new format! I'm new to Gen 8, as I've only just...

    VGC Testing the Waters

    Testing the Waters ~A Return to VGC~ Hey everyone! It's been such a long time since I last played Pokemon, or VGC for that matter, so I thought I'd have a go at seeing what sort of team I can make in this new format. Since legendaries are back, it seemed right to return to VGC this year given...

    Resource VGC 16: Ask a Simple Question, Get a Simple Answer

    From messing about on the damage calc, I found that relaxed bronzong with heatproof will optimise its matchup against groudon in pretty cool fashion: A defensive spread of 228 HP / 220+ Def / 52 SpD will allow bronzong to survive a precipice blades from 252+ Atk groudon as well as an earth...

    VGC Rate my VGC16 Team

    Another awesome rate man, keep up the quality :) Just a short reply: I would definitely agree with the switch to bronzong, it would be a much safer pick for the team and would certainly be easier to use. Mega venusaur is mentioned in my rates as a way to keep the team's original theme, but I...
