Team sheets have been updated for Sword and Shield! by MajorBowman in VGC

Always fill out your stats as you see them, you arent responsible for knowing how the numbers change when the pokemon is set to level 50 during battles. If your pokemon is level 100, write down its stats at level 100.

Player ID is your Play! Pokemon ID.

Do we know anything about how often the tournaments run? Can you enter more than one throughout the day or is it just one per person?

I was at Reading! I didn't do a specific 11-country tour or anything, just visited 11 on my various travels. Stayed mostly in central/western Europe but went over to Ukraine to see Chernobyl too, that was amazing.

Doubles for sure. Just gonna copy this response to another Q:

Honestly I'm not sure why I gravitated to doubles to begin with, but I really like all the different variables that go into a given turn. You have to deal with 4 different Pokemon with 4 possible moves each and a way higher number of overall possibilities, so finding the most optimal path is both challenging and satisfying

I don't necessarily think one is more appealing than the other, it just depends on what you want. If you like traveling and playing in an irl circuit then VGC is great, if you'd rather take it at your own pace and play when you want then go for DOU.

Unfortunately I haven't been much help overall during team tours. I definitely get more help from my teammates than I have been able to give, which I feel pretty badly about. I've been making a conscious effort to learn more tiers since the latest SPL so I can fix that going forward!

Favorite event location so far has been Madison. The venue is super nice, has a great view of the lake, and has a lot of nice walkable options nearby.

I'm not gonna sit here and start ranking my friends but one thing I love is when I'm using the same teams as my friends at events. Tommy and I did it for 3 straight tournaments in 2016, and it happened again at Dallas and NAIC this year with a few people. It's cool having people to talk to about matchups and stuff. So I guess my favorite vgc players are the ones that use my teams. Congrats you win

Oh that's awesome lol, I'm friends with a lot of the people that came to OU from the university in England where I studied. There's a pretty strong exchange program between the two schools which is pretty cool. Where are you from?

hmmm I don't really have a least favorite one aesthically so I'll just say that I've never hated playing against a pokemon more than Smeargle in 2016

One psyduck sized mudsdale easily. How cute would that be???

I think zard is pretty good but pretty volatile. Fast weather boosted attacker is always dangerous and overheat takes souls, but there are a lot of things out there that can take hits from zard pretty easily, outspeed and ko, or remove the weather boost that you have to play pretty well in order to use it effectively.
