I was originally heading into Vancouver with the goal of derusting before NAIC so I could clinch my invite there, instead I end up playing the best Pokémon I've played in my life, with my first cut in over 5 years. Thank you to each of my opps for giving me a broken resistance.
On top of that, in tournament a decided game is basically extended team preview.
Once a game is locked, win or lose, I just start thinking on how to approach the next game. When I'm in the losing position, I get to choose how much time we both have.
Extra turns work against you

"3,000 Sneaslers entered this tournament hoping to be the champion...
...BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH!!!"
This is the optimal set to end up in a GC montage.
🛡️ VGC Build Spotlight: Mega Aggron!
This Physically Defensive Mega set is an absolute wall that forces opponents to rethink their entire gameplan 👀
🪨 Heavy Slam for strong damage without needing Attack investment
🪨 Stealth Rock to apply early chip pressure
⚡ Thunder Wave for speed control and disruption
🔄 Roar to phase out setup sweepers and rack up hazard damage
With absurd Defense and Filter reducing super-effective damage, Mega Aggron becomes incredibly hard to break on the physical side
It’s that Pokemon build that doesn’t just tank hits, as it can also control the pace of the match 🧠
Opponents are basically forced to bring strong special attackers just to deal with it 🔥

It appears Choice Scarf does not matter for determining the activation order of weather (and maybe other?) abilities!
We also tested this with weather abilities for both players, but this was the easiest way to show both stats.
Thanks for help me with testing @BramStorteler

Live with VGC Pocket Day 1. No overlay today because I'm still updating it: twitch.tv/jeanmarcvgc

You know, with the limited dex and most of the great items removed from the game, this might actually be a surprisingly low power format. Maybe they were onto something, it was a good idea to-
32+ SpA Fairy Aura Mega Floette Light of Ruin -- guaranteed OHKO on your entire family
Champions overlay magic is in progress, probably going to share some of the subtle things that I notice from working on this:
First thing I noticed: if you're a streamer who hides their moves on stream: hide your screen until you're out of Team Preview, even after you've locked your 4, your pick order still shows now.
Don't want to quote tweet the original thread to not give the AI cover any more visibility, but here are some smaller Pokemon cover artists that I think deserve way more attention (with 1 song each as an example):
Mystery Dungeon has a lot of covers made by talented people. Oriora is another one: youtube.com/watch?v=3JYUaEYK…
One of my most consistent opinions is the fact that I need more covers of the TCG Gameboy soundtrack. Kaseboy's cover of the end credits is easily my favorite, but I'm also in love his cover of Cerulean City: youtube.com/watch?v=6DUpynLl…
