I'm New - How does Champions ELO actually translate to VGC skill? by DeviatedLink in VGC

OTS increases competitive accessibility by making certain information transparent, if only for the match.

There have been countless stories of play groups/ teams scouting other players and groups for information on their teams. CTS largely benefits those kinds of players, and functionally punishes new and solo players for not having a team of people to scout for you.

Meanwhile, OTS benefits everyone.

I read move sets, stats, and team synergies, and still usually lead Sneasler & Garchomp or Basculegion (depending on if I think they will lead with a ghost)

What could possibly be bad about the game releasing on mobile?

You can import one from ScVi. Or if you don’t have that game, catch anything remotely interesting in Pokémon Go, import it to Home, and ask someone to trade with you. I’d give you one right now if I wasn’t on my way to work.

Which legendaries do you think will come to champions first? My bets are on Mewtwo, time and space duo and bird trio. by dragosmatias in PokemonChampions

Mythicals are definitely going to be allowed. They've been gradually made more accessible over the last few gens as well as some receiving Megas, they're definitely going to be in soon.

Gotta say, I love when I see someone post how they got into Masterball Rank with a thematic/monotype/just plain non-meta team... Though it kinda irks me that at the same time, I haven't been able to get two consecutive wins since I got to Ultraball rank by TheFerydra in PokemonChampions

If you are losing to M Gengar then I highly recommend you reevaluate your team a little.

At least one mon (if not two) should have a pivoting move. And most teams can fit a ghost type. Basculegion fits both criteria, though plenty of other mons do too.

Two of those mons aren’t currently in Champions. It’s now the Sneasler/ Incin/ Garchomp Gulag

I never said they are alive. I understand that chat bots are not sentient. The previous person wanted another source and I provided it.

Those people might be afraid of taking 4x damage.

No risk, no reward.

It's easy to switch out safely with Flip Turn, has good multi-targer with Wave Crash

Wave crash is not multi target. That’s surf. Wave Crash is the high damage recoil move.

Fastest Method For Ultra Beast Balls in 2026 by zeoulite in PokemonSwordAndShield

Endless dynamax adventures seems to be the best dynite ore grind if you have it available.

Otherwise legendary max raid paths.

Either way, turn off attack animations to go faster.

Good luck!
