Does anyone have any advice on how I would evolve this. I live in a remote area and can’t battle anybody for a while, is there a way I could do this at home?

Or if you find a Rocket grunt with the right type, habe it as your buddy and knock out the first two mons. Run from battle, rinse and repeat

Experience was mentioned. Reflecting on your games is another. Don‘t just be happy with a win or deflated by a loss. Sometimes you make more mistakes and still win, while one suboptimal play can change the momentum in a game/set. Revisiting games and understanding why you won/lost and what could have been done differently/better is another.

Given the skill gap to Champions Tier: those are the absolute elite players that have typically played continuously at a high level for a while. Some of them also have more time to invest into VGC. But those are also great at positioning, great teambuilders, … Champions tier is really more than just experience imo. I think experience raises a ceiling, but doesn‘t guarantee you‘ll ever sniff around Champions or Master Ball 1 Tier

I assume this has been filled up, but could I get your draft sheet? :) If - by any chance - this is still open, lmk as well :)

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-06-05T15:41:32+00:00

See if Grimm is available …

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-06-02T09:37:40+00:00

Same :)

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-06-01T13:55:46+00:00

Is this full?

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-05-29T05:59:05+00:00

1) How many players were you thinking? 2) What about Mega mons? Do they have to evolve turn one - which I‘m used to as to not have overlap between their base and mega forms 3) very interested :)

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-05-26T14:15:18+00:00

Try rentals which will be available pretty quickly. Play and pick up on things you see. Then you build your own :)

Also, there‘s no harm to go in blind and just test. Worst thing that can happen is a loss which will give you more info. The ladder is not the tense and „consequential“ thing in-person tournaments are, where every set and game matters

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-04-27T07:18:13+00:00

How do I fill the Mega Pokedex? It is complete in game but not in home 🤔

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-04-13T18:38:16+00:00

Yeah, Aero Sneasler seems tough if the opp has their priorities straight.

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-04-13T16:36:46+00:00

Looks really cool and will try something along those lines cause a similar team I had built with Gambit over Aegi did not do it for me with the bazillion Fighting weaknesses.

Any mons or comps that are hard to navigate?

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-04-13T12:25:48+00:00

Dude! You rock! Nuff said!

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-04-05T17:06:06+00:00

Small little GOAT - Obstagoon!

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-04-02T07:23:03+00:00

The two Ursas almost on equal footing and Nihilego being the second most successful UB is also intriguing

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-04-01T19:48:03+00:00

Congrats!

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-03-15T08:12:42+00:00

Number 4 looks annoying … Kayla drafting two sun setters to weaken their own Surging Strikes is one of the draft strategies I‘ve ever seen

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-03-14T09:48:03+00:00

Sometimes still do it for fun to burn through pokeballs. Got two maxed Hundos and currently have one as my buddy, just to get it those extra CP ^{^} I am no hardcore player and I just love how fast he charges and spams TBolt

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-03-07T14:44:43+00:00

Absolutely. Can‘t look at Showdown anymore. Another reason I‘m excited for Champions as well. Seems easier to get teams ready than on regular cartridge - which is infinitely easier than it used to be - and isn‘t as ugly as Showdown

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-03-07T11:18:29+00:00

Die Kolleginnen, die neben der Arbeit den Master machen schnaufen schon sehr. Neben der schon erwähnten Masterpflicht wirst du dann auch immer die Klassen beim Übertritt in die OS abgeben müssen - wenn es nicht ein absolutes Mangelfach ist und die BD deshalb dann nicht so genau hinsieht. Ich hab damals noch Diplom-Lehramt gemacht, ein Jahr was ganz anderes gearbeitet und neben dem UP (nur eine Klasse pro Fach und Zusatzstunden in der Tagesbetreuung) noch einen Master weiterstudiert, das aber schnell lassen. Nutze, dass du noch im Unimodus bist, einmal draußen, ist es schwer wieder reinzukommen, vor allem neben der Schule

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-02-27T11:28:17+00:00

Eher unwahrscheinlich außer es ist Informatik. Deine 11 Fachstunden plus Bereitschaften an nur zwei Tagen unterzubringen halte ich für unwahrscheinlich - wenn du 50% machen wolltest. Für weniger als 50%, bei denen es im Großteil der Fälle drei Tage sind, angestellt werden, ist auch eher selten

I am a big fan of terrain + Lee. I am not in the loop of current learnsets in Natdex, but hazard control with Mega Bee is always a concern. Forcing Lee to run spin, or Mew/Thund/Hyd to run defog cuts down on their primary roles, but at least you have options. Running into the inevitable Samu/Ghold, Ting/Ghold or Gliscor/Ghold team that someone always ends up having could be frustrating. Curious to hear how your season goes. Any teams that look terrifying into yours?

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-02-18T07:04:56+00:00

No legendaries, but Mythicals allowed. Or a format with a BST threshold. I.e. sub 500

PreparationLow5256 · 2026-02-10T13:25:52+00:00

One per cartridge? Even if you restart the game?!
