Entry Hazards in VGC. stupid or useful? waste or win?

This question may come into many's mind that if the entry hazards are a waste of turns in pokemon VGC.they simply say this statement and leave the scene not examining or testing this topic, so it came to my mind to make a post about usefulness of these entry hazards in VGC format.
i don,t always use the best of pokemons to win as others do build their teams to counter them i also wanted to use the pokemons and moves that people least expect and ruin their strategies likewise i hav tried out entry hazards in VGC
following are the some of entry hazards ever to be found in VGC

Toxic Spikes lays a trap of poisonous spikes around the foe, which poison Pokémon switching in to the opposing field. If used more than once, incoming Pokémon will be badly poisoned.
The spikes will not poison any raised Pokémon, nor does it affect Poison or Steel types, nor Pokémon with the abilities Immunityor Magic Guard. Raised Pokémon are any Flying types or those under the effects of LevitateMagnet Rise or Telekinesis. Full details in glossary.
Toxic Spikes can be cleared from the field by the moves Rapid Spin (around the user) or Defog (around the target). Poison type Pokémon (that are not raised) will absorb the spikes upon switching in, removing their effect.

Spikes lays a trap of spikes around the foe, which hurts Pokemon switching in to the opposing field. It can be used up to three times to inflict more damage on incoming Pokemon, equal to a fraction of the Pokemon's HP (see right).
The move will not cause damage to any raised Pokemon. Raised Pokémon are any Flying types or those under the effects of LevitateMagnet Rise or Telekinesis. Full details in glossary.
Spikes can be cleared from the field by the moves Rapid Spin (around the user) or Defog (around the target).

Stealth Rock lays a trap of stones around the foe, which hurts Pokemon switching in to the opposing field. The rocks inflicts variable damage - a fraction of the Pokemon's maximum HP, based on its susceptibility to the Rock type, as in the table to the right.
For example, a Fighting type switching in would lose 116 their maximum HP since Rock is not very effective against it. A Fire/Flying type would lose 12 their HP since Rock is super-effective against both Fire and Flying.
Stealth Rock can be cleared from the field by the moves Rapid Spin (around the user) or Defog (around the target).

So these are some of the entry hazards and the following are my points why to use them.

.How many times hav u saw that one person who frequently switches out of the field to defend his pokemons against weaknesses

.And those turns made to stall out weather or TR with double protects or against fake out even,what do u do 

.In those turns it is the perfect timing for u 2 set up entry hazards hence not a waste of turn :)

Hope this post made u think more positively about this topic of entry hazards in VGC.

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 points: .
