Rules Released for 2020 VGC

[RetroTyphlosion]

Hello PokemonForever!

Rules have recently been released for the 2020 VGC season in the Generation 8 games. They have been confirmed via a tweet, which you can read here: https://twitter.com/pokemon_tcg/status/1...29824?s=21 (its in Korean, I'll put it through Google Translate in the future).

For a more watered-down version, the rules will be the same as the Ranked Battles Series 1. I'll post those here in the future as well.

I'm excited for this, and I can't wait to see what 2020 will bring!

Same here! I already started working on building my teams!

@Newdll Hooray, a fellow VGC player!

I'd like to build my teams too, but I'm not sure what will be good yet. Any ideas? Pikalytics is a good place to start, if you've never used that site before. https://www.pikalytics.com/pokedex

I made a Ferrothorn pre-set and I'm going to test it and possibly build my team around it!

Just an aside, not all regions play the same ruleset. While this is likely a good indicator, it should not be treated as official rules yet.

@Hojunhu Yes, but it is highly, highly likely. I had a sneaking suspicion when I saw the rules for Series 1 that they would be the official rules, and with tourneys posted (albeit in Korea) I personally think its safe to say that these rules are essentially finalized.

Thank you for notifying me, though! I'll keep this in mind, and I appreciate your knowledge and contribution!
