I really won’t be giving full details as I do so for the other teams of mine however some bits on the team, especially as the season is ending it will be more questionable whether the team will be usable or be used in testing by the others, that is why a full detail isn’t needed as I do guess so. First of all the thing that makes me feel very proud about this team of mine is that the entire season I have been trying to go with this concept of a full anti meta team, as the season reaches its end. The inspiration came from the idea of rain + dragonite teams which I saw cutting a regionals, so I had to try out the concept there, on the name of rain a weird swift swimmer came to my mind, relicanth, relicanth was super good especially against matchups involving a mandibuzz its head smash + z-move was very strong and quite an unexpected form of offense for my opponents, politoed’s perish song proved good for this hyper offensive team, the entire concept of using dragonite with rain was to abuse thunder, but the I found thunder wasn’t putting out too much offense so I decided I should be going for a weakness policy set which did ended up working out much better. Dugtrio also was a very interesting concept to use, especially with substitute which worked out really well, one of the main advantages I gained from this was that my opponents didn’t expect me to have z-moves on either of the two I had them on. Tangling hair was also very good against unsuspecting opponents. Vkavolt worked well on its part whereas trevenant a set I brought back from an old metagross team of mine was working really well for the function that I put it on this team for.

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...

CHALK Analyses: A Better Understanding.

Today I’ll be discussing one of the most highly argument’d topic in the VGC 15 season. You already know from the title and I know how late I got all because of my laziness and getting distracted a lot by other things during the time of some holidays I took the time to write up this analyses for you guys, it’s better late than never right? 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 ...
