Team of your favorite region!

Boomix, Jun 20: My fave region is Hoenn, and this is quite easy since I'm already playing through Omega Ruby: Swampert/ Gardevoir/ Manectric/ Hariyama/ Altaria/ Camerupt But to spice things up instead of using my gameplay team, I'd use: Swampert/ Blaziken/...

Have you ever attempted to play Pokémon competitively before?

stringzzz, Jun 12: The competitive is about 80% of why I play the games, because you never know what you're opponent is going to throw at you. Just today, I had a ranked battle in SV, and my opponent's lead was a Drifloon. That's right, a Drifloon, not a Drifblim! I...

Should the Pokémon VGC include championship battles for Singles as well?

Sweet Serenity, Mar 10: I enjoy 6v6 Singles more than 3v3 Singles as well. I find them more strategic because its basically "my whole team vs. your whole team" rather than "the three I selected vs. the three you selected." However, the problem is that because the VGC...

How would I make a viable team of my favorite Pokemon?

UnvoicedUnveiled, Dec 2021: I want to make a team out of all my favorite Pokemon to battle my friends with in my copy of Ultra Moon. Problem is, a lot of my Pokemon have overlapping type combinations so it's hard to get good coverage with them. I want: Braixen (maybe...

When did you first get into competitive battling?

leg3ndary_mew2, Nov 2021: I got into competitive battling when I was a kid and initially played the red and blue versions. It was great to meet up with a kid from the neighborhood, link up, and battle right then and there! This was the beginning of it all and what led me to...

Any ideas for Pokemon that can help Blastoise in the OU format?

Dark Azelf, May 2021: In ou probably not, in lower tiers you might be able to get away with like Terrain Pulse, Surf or Pump, ice Beam + Shell Smash with Electric Terrain support along side it aka Pincurchin. Ice, water, electric has decent coverage and you actually most...

I need tips for building my own team

Pokedream.su, Apr 2021: In my opinion start with Gen 1 OU, it makes your battling skills a lot better and makes you think about how momentum works in battles without the fluff of modern mechanics. From there in whatever metagame you want, go with offense, the battles are...

Makaan, Feb 2021: Danke, so it was option 3 (ish). I will take the advice on board. I suppose the closest format would be 'Anything Goes', which I foolishly thought would be self-explanatory, though I imagine it makes little difference.

gimmepie, Feb 2021: I'd recommend just looking for some sample teams first if you're new to competitive before you try making your own. That way you can get a better feel for the meta and competitive strategies without diving right into the deep end.
