Caly ice x Miraidon seems to be all the rage rn so I imagine adamant is a great choice!
I'm just a stubborn hard trick room lover so I like to take it s l o w lol

Part of me wants to replay for 0 speed Caly because I got mine long before VGC and it has 5 speed EVs.
...then again, I'm not victim to speed ties this way lol
So for now I only imagine.
Then again, Caly has missed a lot of high horsepowers -.-

You need to have the regional parent hold an Everstone for the child to inherit the regional form!
As such only works if both the prevo and eco are regional.
Is why I suffer trying to breed 0 attack hisuian zorua xD;

Haven't gone to one with it yet? Making tweaks then I'll see when the next one is.

Ohh, exciting! \o/
Slowed on team building myself because I'm hard at work on a personal project, but continuing to make tweaks to my Gurdurr team. I wanna say I was able to take it to a local xD

Gen 9 has some of the most fun pokemon!
Love all the mons you mentioned. I am also a huge Bellibolt fan. xD

Like maybe the first two months, youve got 2 gimmicks. Next, they change what pokemon are available. Maybe you have like a Unova or Galar league. Or a ban list.
Big hope (but not expecting it) would be to make custom format tournaments.
A lot is unanswered as of yet. But we hope. 👍

Yeah, definitely have to keep the expectations in check. Good choices have not always been made with this franchise. But this seems like the best solution to the problem.
Imagine...
An overall format that's long. And inside it, variables change every say, 2 months.

At the same time, VGC needs more formats and variation. Lot of my CC friends are struggling. Champions can theoretically solve that! Maybe it won't always be where VGC is played, but could host it. Or the mainline games will mesh with it.
But think of the formats we could have!!!

Yeah. It wouldn't even surprise me if something was said at the close of NAIC, even.
Thing is, the main games need longer gaps. We're in the midst of that now. When I say Scarlet and Violet are the best worst games in the franchise, it's not a joke.

Ah, mythicals? Hmm. Part of me wants that, part of me remembers that Arceus and Darkrai are very real. 😂
Tera-less would be nice, also!
That said, I do half expect Champions to be ready, if not by September, then by the new year. It feels like Champions makes too much sense for the situation.

Could see a tera-less format
Could see what amounts to Regulation B++
Could repeat a format
Or... We could be swapping to Champions, featuring damn near anything!

Actually been playing gen 7 at length and tbh I've been loving it! Easily up there with 5 and 9 for me (my top 2)

This has been the most fun team to test so far in early Reg I for myself! even a single coaching boost into Calyrex, let alone two, can completely flip a game in your favor.
GURDURR GANG RISE UP!

Can confirm this works! You will die once during initial setup but you're pretty unstoppable after that.

I'll allow it

Join Koraidon and Reshiram as they seek to set the upcoming regulation on fire! Scarfed Koraidon beats out the faster threats like CSR and Watursh, while Life Orb Reshiram annihilates everything with the Sun! Flutter, Whimsicott, Hearthflame and Swampert join in for support and helping throw down!

But, if you take time to clear your eyes after, you'll be behind, and then...
You'll have to ketchup.

Only heard about it a bit ago via secondary sources since I haven't seen Nintendo Today in the app store! Exciting stuff!

While thats fantastic having RK9 on here (means I can register!) The official channels not being on here yet is definitely not gonna convince people to switch, yeah ><
Hopefully soon!

Is Pokémon on here at all? Having them and other major outlets would probably help.
I unregistered a while ago. xD No intention of going back.

Came up with this build myself, am quite proud! Good luck out there! Caught mine in a Moon Ball :D

Body Slam, continue until it resets your stats.
If you're 60%+ health, Protect.
If not, let yourself go down.
Next, begin spamming Curse! Straight to +6 Attack & Defense.
Once maxed, pop your tera, and ride Tera Blast Electric to a victory! Shell Bell should heal you back up pretty fast.

Looks like something that'd show up on the front of a doritos bag. xD;
