So these will be the Pokémon that'll be allowed in vgc '17.
thoughts and/or predictions as to what will dominate the meta with megas being banned?
Might want to take Zygarde / Lunaala / Solgaleo off that list
UBs might be banned, they look pretty powerful
With that out of the way, I think Oranguru is gonna be great, Tsareena / Bruxish are gonna be very useful for priority-blocking
Tapu Koko + Alolan Raichu and the Psychic/Fairy Tapu are gonna be really good
Psychic Terrain teams in general are gonna be really good
>>29307252
Oranguru cores will be busted. Clefable will be t1 to counter all the dragons on the list. 1-2 of the koko's will be genies 2.0 and will be on everyones team. Someone will bring a suicide frostlass set in nationals
>>29307293
I might consider trying a Frost Breath Froslass+Anger Point Tauros desu
This might not be the whole roster, as there could be more catchable pokemon in the postgame that would still be legal.
Oranguru gimmick teams won't do well- countered by fake out, taunt, stronger pokemon.
>Politoed but no Ludicolo
>no Rotom
>no Aegislash
>no Hydreigon
>no Amoonguss
>no Tyranitar
>no Scrafty or Hitmontop
>no Azumarill
>>29307506
Who cares about Ludicolo
Terrain boosted 100% accurate Tapu Koko rain Thunders is the new hotness.
>>29307252
Magearna, Solgaleo, Zygarde, and Lunala are all banned.
UBs swill probably be banned.
Gengar as usual
Ghost terrain will probably be very popular, considering the official format is Doubles and Protect is the best move here.
Gengar Arcanine and Sylveon
>>29307252
There'll be a lot more than this. You always get te nat dex after the main story and there's usually way more mons.
>>29307252
Slowking, Staryu, and everstoned Eevee always crush in the metagame. It's not even fun battling online anymore.
New Exeggutor might fix this though.
>>29307252
The Tapus will most then likely be a must on all teams, especially Squid Tapu. Since Sableye and Talonflame are in the dex and priority is there main gimmick, Psychic Terrain will for sure shut them down and also stop Sucker Punch shenanigans since Hunchcrow is also there. Electric Terrain will be good as well cause Morellul's evo will be this gen's Amoonguss with Spore and Smeargle over there.
About the rest, we will see.
>>29307601
>there's usually way more mons
Which you can't use.
>>29307526
It's a tropical region. Not that guy but I expected more tropical mons to be in like Bellossom and Ludicolo.
I was looking forward to putting Bellossom on my team too.
>>29307252
Bruxish and Tsareena block protect.
>>29307252
>Smeargle allowed
FUCKING WHY
You already know everyone's going to run a Dark Void/Instruct/Fake Out/filler on their shit
>No Mawile
And this is why it's shit.
>>29308299
Minior's immunity to sleep is going to come in handy for sure.
>>29308299
Don't be surprised if all the Tapus get both Wide Guard and Quick Guard.
>>29308598
Pretty sure Mawile wouldn't ne all that useful without its Mega.
>>29307506
>no starmie
>>29308680
Shit never mind I found it
>>29308680
Starmie is ass
>>29308618
And then what is it gonna do, after it eats the Dark Void? Fire off a measly Ancient Power? Come on.
>>29308647
Why bother with any of that shit when Tapu Koko already nullifies sleep with Electric Surge?
Tapu + rain + alolan raichu
Trick room
Garchomp, talonflame, gyarados
>>29307788
bruxish blocks attacks only, tsareena blocks all priority.
>>29307293
UBs don't need to be banned because they won't be catchable. That's like saying Hau or Kukui or Samson Oak is gonna be banned.
is it just me or are Solrock and Lunatone not in the games XD
>>29308680
no one uses starmie in vgc. run back to smogon kiddie.
>>29310415
Nice b8 anon.
>>29310466
>GF realizing they forgot Solrock/Lunatoe in the game
Damn.
>>29307584
What makes you think there will be a ghost terrain when no Tapu has Misty Terrain as of yet?
>>29310388
Tsareena does not imply anything about stopping protect.
>Go Talonflame!
>Go Tapu Psycho!
>Tapu Psycho activated Psychic Terrain!
>Talonflame used Brave Bird!
>Tapu Psycho fainted!>Tapu Psycho's teammate used Contact move
>Tapu Psycho's temamate was burned by Talonflame's Flame Body!
>>29310545
because they are clearly making one for each type? we have electric and psychic confirmed. which leaves fire and ghost.
>>29307252
>half a bazillion pokemon are missing
Suuuuuuuuuure.
>>29310945
Vgc is alolan den only m8
>>29307252
UB's, (if they are allowed, that is.) Z-Moves, Ash-Greninja, and Zygarde.
Hell will break loose.
>>29312719
Actually, nevermind on Ash-Greninja.
>>29310561
Protect is a priority move, retard.
Leech life scizor on every team
