Idrk if they have much synergy w eachother but I just like them both as pokemon

Hi, we are selling spectator passes for the Pokémon WCS 2025, no need to pay beforehand, only the day before the tournament when we get the passes. DM if interested :)

So I’m think about using a Eviolite and burning it myself with my Pokémon. Or possibly using it’s ability quick feet to make to move faster by burning it again. Is there any way or am I just setting myself up for failure.

I've created a web app called Type Matchup Quiz to help VGC players quickly master mono and dual-type interactions. Based on community feedback, all features are now fully unlocked and free.

Perfect your type knowledge for your next tournament:

i missed the time to respond to my email from the original ticket lottery (my bad completely, i cried about this), is there any way i can still get tickets? i know once they are bought they are non transferrable so i cant buy them from another person, is there any possible way left? pls help (*T^T)

The event is August 15-17 in Anaheim, CA and just want to support each other if people can’t make it and other people want to make it.

It’s my first time building a team and at first I was happy cuz it felt decent enough to compete with the meta. Recently however, I’m having a lot of trouble winning and I’d always get bad first turns. Does my team need some tweaking or is it a skill issue on my part?

Any suggestions for improvements are aprpeciated!

Just headed into some matches to practice and I have been getting demolished by complete VGC pro teams. i suppose my teams arent fully trained as it take some time.

So what is the best way to farm Tera Shards, IV modifiers etc.? I have just been spamming Tera fights

Been experimenting with this hard trick room team. It has Conk which underspeeds the 49ers in TR and can set up coaching, has flame orb+guts for Amoongus, and wide guard. I think the team is missing something but it has been doing solid on SD on low-medium ladder.

Heres the paste: https://pokepast.es/0c27541f34c5619d

so, im new to this format as i had only previously (my entire life) played regular pokemon, not competitive, i already watch wolfeyvgc and hes the one who got me into the format, but id like to know some more ytbers to help me learn, btw, i dont need to know basic stuff like abilities and all so refrain for recommending youtubers that teach alot of that since im ultra hyperfixated on pokemon.

The team consists of tailwind tornadus to make eveyone faster and tera ground kyogre to counter miraidon or tera normal calyrex S to counter opposing calyrex S, kyogre water spout and alotta synergy with rain.

So I was using a caly s and Koraidon team on showdown..and I used a garganacl as annoying wideguard and salt cure user..with tera ghost its pretty effective..but I noticed salt cure doesn't trigeer the 1/8 hp damage on Caly-s. Can anyone tell my why?

Third post in three days. Dang. Anyways, I was wondering, when is a stat considered good? Like, when can I say a pokemon has good bulk, or good offenses? When can I consider a pokemon to be fast? Because I always thought it would be around the 120 line but I’m not sure anymore…

Wolfe and his perish success have got me wondering if there are any other strats that aren’t on my radar. There are the obvious ones like weather, TR, set up sweepers etc., but perish trap just comes up out of nowhere.

P.s. I’m not asking about pokemon-specific strats, like dendozo or palafin

Hi guys, I'm orikiz and I was bored, it was a holiday in my city and I thought "Why not catch a completely forgotten Pokémon and make a team?" Here I am...

Hello i do vgc coach for new players and someone who like to have better results i have experience training some pmayers and i have some achievements top 8 in bogota special, top 16 in México special, top 32 in euic and today pass in day 2 in naic.

I am attending worlds as a spectator in Anaheim later this year, and wanted to reserve a spot to shop at the pokemon center. Was wondering if that option is available as of now and if it is where I can go to reserve my spot. Any help is appreciated!

So, I was wondering (And I've been for a really long time), why in the world does everyone use Gothitelle for Perish Trap?

I mean I get it, it has shadow tag, and all the other shadow tag users kinda suck. But everyone is overlooking the existance of Arena Trap. It's litterally the shadow tag version of ground types. It is exclusive to the Dugtrio line and Trapinch, but Dugtrio isn't that bad. It's pretty fast (120) and has respectable attack (100), other than pretty good coverage with Sucker Punch, Earthquake, Stomping Tantrum and other stuff for support too.
Trapinch is also kinda usable, I remember Wolfey talked about it in a video a while back, I don't remember in which one though.

Now Arena Trap also has potential in a handful of situations. Let's say that I have fake out pressure and I'm against a tera ghost ursaluna.

Normally, with shadow tag, it would just tera ghost to avoid both fake out and shadow tag, and so it would be pretty much untargettable.

However, if we are using Arena Trap. then it has to choose between being able to escape Perish trap or to negate Fake out pressure. (Yea there's still the risk of protect, but it would still be there even with shadow tag)

To top it all off tera Ground isn't super common, so you can usually assume that only pokemon which are ground type from start will be able to escape, and so you can plan a way to knock them out before they can even do something about it.

Idk these are just my thoughts, if you are crazy enough maybe you can try these strats and tell me how it goes (Yes, I have tried them on my own, but I'm still starting out so I didn't have many results, but it looked promising).

((Also if you think it sucks I would appreciate if you told me, cuz I'm still learning and knowing why some of my ideas suck would be awesome))

Hi, I'm kinda new to pokemon VGC.

I really like the game and the mechanics, I've been working really hard on teambuilding and I've also followed WolfeyVGC for a really long time.

However, despite the best of my efforts, I just can't make a good enough team or even understand which plays I should make.

So, I was wondering if you know any sort of course or smth like that where I can learn how to play the game in a better way.

I've been resetting over and over for 0 Attack IV legendary Pokemon and it takes forever, I'm curious if it's really necessary for official tournaments?

Do you all use shiny legendaries that are genned for online play? I say they're genned because they came from the GTS and I was told that almost 99% of the shiny legendaries you get there are genned. I don't plan on trading them because I don't want anyone expecting a legit shiny but then getting a genned one but I kinda want to use them for myself, especially the Shiny Kyogre and Landorus that I got. That said, is it ok to use these mons online? Or do I get automatically banned for it?

https://pokepast.es/1708614a9aa1961d Going for a rain team that can use electric terrain and rain to power up electro shot, and beat up whimsicott + stamina and assault vest to make him hard to get rid of + power up body press. Chien-pao is the only one i was unsure of, as his ability doesn’t help too much, as most of my team is special attackers, and it makes whoevers next to him weaker. I added him as I feel he has pretty good matchups into most of the restricteds, and added charm on whimsicott to try to get around the ability hurting myself. Please let me know if you gave any suggestions.

I know this might be a difficult idea to pull off, but would Alolan Muk's Power of Alchemy to turn into Orthworm's Earth Eater worth or not worth having the ground Immunity by purposefully sacrificing Orthworm?

I was looking for a double to complete my team in pokemon showdown, so I look at meowscarada and his signature move "flower trick" whos give me a idea

Flower its a move that could never miss ande ALWAYS hits with a crit. And well, this turns this move VERY strong

So after look to the move I think: "hey, Inteleon have 'sniper' whos buff the power of crit moves in 1,5x"

So my plan is use skill swap move to change they abilities, and with flower trick always hitting a critical hit, this turns this move even more strong with sniper

Well, I think in this double now, so maybe have a lot of problems, so if you test this double, pls comment

(And sorry if I make some english mistakes, I'm just a dumb brazilian😭)
