Teambuilding on Paper & How to be Effective.

Hi guys today I am back with a bit of a different post, to her than posting more content about my smeargle used spotlight series or the monthly report/ experience discussion and analyses, this time I bring forth an article. Even thought this topic of teambuilding especially on paper isn’t ever given much attention that it does need or deserve, I feel this is the most common and basic step, the step where your instinct and intelligence comes in when you want to start building a team, this is the first step to teambuilding. Teambuilding has been one of my most favorite things to do in the competitive aspect of pokemon and I have done it loads, I too myself start and prefer the teambuilding on paper whenever doing it, as it has clearly made me think more clearly about what I do with my pokemons and then what their ultimate roles are going to be. Without further ado lets get into the discussion of this topic and I’ll explain my own specific method of doing it correctly: Before sta...

February VGC Report : Part 1

Hi guys I am back this time with another new month’s VGC report, so far this season has been a blast for me, after testing out a lot of teams and variants in all sorts of different teams that I built and tested, I felt quite satisfied from the regret of last season when I didn’t even build one double primal team throughout the entire season, in such a short metagame. However this time testing loads earlier I feel quite satisfied already, with the excitement about this season settling down a bit I wanted to stick to my original style and wanted to do a team that I will play and ladder with the entire February: Trying out a New Team: So after I was done patching up my work for the last month’s report, I knew that the few upcoming months would be quite stressful from the studied I have to do, so this time I decided to have different teambuilding goals, the first idea that I got of the ‘purely my style’ team was a full team of pokemons that were not a part of the metagame. Following...

Metatalks 2 : Choice Scarf Tapu Lele

Hi guys today I am back with another blogpost regarding VGC this time I will put forward my view and knowledge on the choice scarf variant of tapu lele, tapu lele being a very diverse pokemon has a number of variants, one of them being the choice scarf holders, without further ado lets jump into this post: Choice Scarf Tapu Lele: Following are some of the point that I really feel like make this pokemon worth to use in the current metagame, since this is a variant that is meta-specific, so this post may lose the viability as the state of the metagame changes and please therefore don’t consider it to be an overall format thing, anyways following they are: ·          Choice scarf tapu lele can make most sense in cases of facing against those uncommonly however still somewhat found, cores of tapu lele, raichu and tapu koko. Being fast it can use moves like shadow ball and fast as well as strong psychic type attacks that can damage its o...

Metatalks 1 : Kartana, Arcanine & Tapu Fini Core

Hi guys today I am back with a entirely new series for my blog and I feel very good about starting it off with a very meta of all topics, which is quite unusual for my blogs, as you may have guessed this is a series where we talk about certain aspects of the metagame, however this does not mean a complete analyses but a view, opinion and a guide for the general understanding of these aspects of the metagame (yes I am quite doubtful of doing analyses on my level of knowledge) so without further ado lets jump into his post’s content: The Core as a Whole: This core altogether forms something quite known to vgc and a competitive player as a staple type core of a grass, fire and water type popularly known as the F/W/G core. These are basic types as you may have learned from those in-game experiences that they do run a cycle around covering each other’s weaknesses, which is something that speaks out for this core on its own. Further talking the type synergies and cores, we may al...
