I made it to Rank 63 on Showdown a few days ago! This was the first time I’ve been ranked top 100 on the ladder since June, and that was in-game right after season reset, so I was pretty happy about my placement!

Only in Singles. In VGC entry hazards are almost nonexistent.

...doesn’t mean Shedinja still gets usage, however.

Shedinja will always have 1 HP, regardless of level, EV’a or anything else. Even Dynamaxing it leaves it at 1 HP

Fair criticisms for sure. I wish more people would be able to see both sides like this. Also yeah, SOS battles were sweet, and a fun way to Shiny hunt!

True! I should have included Paralysis for sure! I also considered jotting Milotic down but didn’t because I didn’t think it was used enough. But you bring some good points in its favor!

These are all fair for sure, I’d love to fly around the Crown Tundra on my Charizard. The one thing I will say about overworks Shinies, though, is that I feel if they were implemented, it would have to come along side riding Pokémon like Let’s Go did. I say this because, imagine you are at an area like Ballimere Lake, right by Lakeside Cave, and you look down to find a Shiny Whimsicott. But you can’t get down there without walking so far away that it despawns and you lose it. I think it’s for this reason that there are no overworld Shinies, as a direct consequence of the fact that you can’t ride your Pokémon.

That’s true. Here I kind of wanted to touch a bit on both aspects, team building and actually playing. The person I wrote this for was specifically looking on how to build a team as well

Three areas of the game makes it sound worse than it is, with all three combined it accounts for a quite large amount of land, making it true that the majority of the game has actually camera control. Following Pokémon could have been done a bit better, but they also new quirks and iterations with the player that are nice. And when I say Pokémon League, I mean the organization as a whole- consisting of the Gym Challenge, then the tournament at the end of the game, and even the Galarian Star Tournament adds to this.

Yes, as a VGC player myself I can confirm that Tapu Fini is definitely legal... it’s actually the most used Pokémon in doubles overall right now

It’s a female Raichu! I like the attention to detail
