VGC Situations
Feb 22, 2015, 08:54 AM
I couldn't sleep, so I decided to make a thread :p The purpose of this thread is to enlighten newer, less experienced players on strategizing in VGC (me being one of them. VGC 15. wooo!). So I'll start off by saying that u should always focus on threats. Most of the time if you remove offense, the opposing team has lost. If they are left with Pokemon such as Smeargle, Whimsicott, Amoonguss, or Cresselia (in most cases), they have lost. These Pokemon have no offensive potential, all they can do is stall using bulk and support moves like status-inflicting moves, recovery moves, or disrupting moves like Encore. They are sitting ducks, except for Cresselia, it's a space duck kappa . However, if you suspect that your opponent will lead with a support/bulky mon, u should try ur best to shut it down or be ready to adapt. Say you are going up against a likely Cresselia lead, u should bring something to stop it's speed control in Icy Wind or Trick Room, or eliminate it quickly using a powerful Pokemon like Bisharp. I hope this helps you out in the future. And if you have any concerns with my post, let us discuss them. good luck and have fun, trainers.^_^
