A Good Competitive VGC Set For Ever Starter Pokemon


??? a starter VGC set ???

i hav been seeing alot of Q & A about this topic that what kind of starter pokemons are viable this season ...... well that motivated me to pull out a possible competitive set for every starter.not really gonna post the regular sets for viable starters ,just something bit more interesting 

so here we go!

Charizard @ Charizardite Y
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 140 HP / 44 Def / 84 SpA / 240 Spe
Modest Nature
- Heat Wave
- Solar Beam
- Substitute
- Protect

role: surprise substitution and wall breaker
the substitute idea is taken from ashton cox cuz it just the best change that can be made into a char y set

Venusaur @ Big Root
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 4 HP / 104 Def / 252 SpA / 148 Spe
Modest Nature
- Leech Seed
- Sludge Bomb
- Giga Drain
- Protect

role: leech
another set u won,t expect and it can only be OHKO'ed by heavy hitters it leeches the same but absorbs more with the two moves giga drain and leech seed

Blastoise-Mega @ Blastoisinite
Ability: Mega Launcher
EVs: 4 HP / 216 SpA / 36 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature

nothing special to say about this pokemon as this is kinda a standard set for it.

EVs: 16 HP / 252 Atk / 112 SpD / 128 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ice Punch

Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
- Overheat
- Heat Wave

not a nyc bulk to it and with fall easily to only one single attack sometimes so choice scarf is an ideal item for it kinda.

Meganium @ Light Clay
Ability: Leaf Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Def / 76 SpD
Calm Nature
- Giga Drain
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Protect

role: screen support

Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

Swampert @ Choice Band
Ability: Damp
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def

role: somehow nothing fits in :P

Infernape @ Focus Sash
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature

no one suspects this monkey to be a special attacker but this set is a bit interesting for that reason

Torterra @ Assault Vest
Ability: Shell Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
- Wood Hammer
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Iron Head

role: bulky TR sweeper
another starter to be putted behind a TR environment works best behind them.

The King of The Jungle: Calyrex Ice Rider VGC Regulation G Team Report

So as Regulation G just dropped, my initial plan was to let the metagame form itself out before I step into the game. However, after seeing some videos on Youtube that discussed popular cores, I got excited to try one of them out, and quite a simple composition too. It worked out quite well for me so here’s a mini team report for those looking to find a team to play the format: I dabbled in this format a bit with a horrid Kyogre team being rounded out with Rillaboom, Incineroar and Farigaraf and fell flat quick. Teambuilding: These Pokémon didn’t really gel together in harmony and there wasn’t much synergy or inspiration to go off of. I did get swept 2x by an Ice Rider Calyrex. Later when I watched a video that mentioned the Trick Room core of Calyrex Ice Rider, Incineroar, Farigaraf and Ursaluna, I felt like it was quite worthy to give it a try. I know from my experience thus far that the majority of dedicated Trick Room teams do work on a sort of flow chart function. Most basical

I myself have used CHALK core teams to success and have really liked them, in this post I will cover up analyses on CHALK and other topics that can relate to it, let’s get started: Artwork by @yudeyude123 on twitter =================================================== What is CHALK: This weird looking word is an abbreviation for the words Cresselia, Heatran, Amoonguss, Landorus and Kangaskhan. This is actually a penta-core of mons used at great success in the VGC15 season as most of you are familiar with it, it even won Worlds 2015 in the hands of Shoma Honami (SHADEViera), this trend also originates from his homeland of Japan and many o

Hi guys i am back with another teambuild post, and sorry for my absense for some time. this time i will be putting forward a team of mine built a long time ago but it still works to this day. i posted it elsewhere to get some advice on it and now it is up to it's full potential and i thought i was ready to post it as a teambuild post on the blog.i finally almost perfected the execution of the trap against the meta. idk why it wasn't up it was completed bout 2 weeks ago though, let's get started with the team: Teambuilding thought and process: as we already know that W olfe Glick is the king of perish trap so my first step was to take his team break it down and then rebuild it up to my playstyle and comfort-ability, i took his regional team tried spotting out weaknesses (there were non :P) and then ended up copying his team couple of times. i decided to build right from the start picking up some notes on his build to take guideline and picked up the following points: .
