I started out this team with the concept of a vanilluxe.vanilluxe has a lot o potential in this metagame I think. Vanilluxe is able to hit a lot of pokemon with freeze dry for super effective damage. Dracovish, gyarados and gastrodon all fall to it, furthermore the ever rising population for dragapult and togekiss, alongside rising populations of whimsicott and mudsdale is going to make vanilluze worth using, not to mention that it an also use aurora veil if needed to boost both special defense and defense of its team members and provide weather disruption. You can do a lot with this mon and I wanted to try it.
After vanilluxe at first came a series of ideas including arctovish, to further increase the blizzard spamming on this team and then a dusclops to abuse tr alongside conkeldurr to handle sand, which was looking to be the end of this team. I worked around that core for a while, until things seemed a bit lackluster for it. One combination I spontaneously put on the team and ended up absolutely adoring was arctovish pivoting in games between an offensive dynamaxed jellicent and vanilluze’s blizzard spamming, later this idea evolved into a more bulky concept of self surfing for both these mons carrying water absorb. I decided on putting a ground and fairy type and with the trick room nature of the team I felt like I needed these two to cover up the weaknesses. Then came a gallade to be put on this team which made it so much more fun and gave it a rather whacky but fun looking beat up vanilluxe + gallade justified combination, furthermore combining it with gallade’s drain punch, this combination could help me pick up more slower and defensive teams in the format who particularly don’t expect gallade.
This team is something that im finally getting a bit happy with the composition of and happy to have build around a vanilluxe. I will surely further develop this team in the future when I have the time to as currently I am entangled in other studies stuff so do keep a watch out for this team with updated items, movesets and evs spreads as I feel happy about the members.

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...

Death by Perish Trap: Teambuild VGC 15

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 ...
