>W-What's this year ruleset anon?
Only Pokemon from the Aloladex are allowed.
http://pastebin.com/4ddvU5Ai

Yes, the Ultra Beasts are allowed

>B-But the UB are broken!
No they are not, stop being a reactionary dummy. Stop thinking things are broken just because they have one very good stat. Notice how all their other stats are below or very below average. They don't even reach 580 BST.

>B-But Mega Mom and Mega Mence!
Megas are not allowed this year so that Z-Crystals and Moves can be shilled properly.

>W-What's good this year then?
Things that can be expected to be good are things that have always been good like Garchomp, Salamence, Gengar, etc. Of the new Pokemon? The most prominent are obviously the Tapus as they all have excellent typings, BST an abilities. Expect them to see them very often and to pack something agaisnt them.

Here's a few pages that have small compilations of interesting or good Pokemon or usual VGC staples.

>W-When's the earliest official event for this format?
It'll be on London between the 9 and 11 of February. It'll be the first of many International Championships.

Yes, TCPi thought it was a good idea to make a Nat-levels tourney as the first tourney of the format with less than a month for a meta to establish and for people to play the game and to breed their teams.
>>
Don't forget, this generation you can download a copy of the VGC rules so you can practice battling people in that format.

Are Tapu allowed?

>>30120444
Where?

>>30120444

>Only Alolan Dex

But Pentagon Alolan Dex pokemon are also allowed, so keep that in mind.

>>30120469
yes and along with the UBs and good old garchomp, are dominating the format
>>
So I was thinking of making a team with KoKo, Raichu, Arcanine and Pheromosa. No clue what I want to add for the last two spots. Was thinking of maybe Bulu
>>
Can I make Orangaru work or are his stats simply too low to survive? Always liked trick room teams and he seems like he'd be a nice support mon to use it.
>>
Alolan Muk best mon.
>>
You are a lazy faggot OP.

Worst of all you still haven't fixed my mistake regarding the London event date.
>>
>>30120919
How many UB/Tapu do people usually have on a team?
>>
>>30121051
His stats are not that bad. I wonder if we get any contrary mons with access to Overheat, Leaf Storm, etc.

Maybe you can get Snivy from the scanner thing...
>>
>>30121208
Not legal in VGC
>>
>>30121006
>Pheromosa without redirection support
>Pheromosa without Fake Out support
>Pheromosa without Lele for anti-priority support
Shit nigga what are you doing.

>>30121051
Oranguru is a perfectly viable TR setter.

>>30120830
>Koko+A-Raichu

It's certainly viable, specially if you pack Pelipper for those 100% Thunders. Still, I'd use Raichu for fast support rather than for offense. It's where the little fucker excels best at.

I'd recommend packing a steel type like Kartana or Celesteela to complete that team archetype.
>>
>>30121151
usually one or two, and it's usually xurkitree and/or celesteela
>>
>>30120708

That's what Alolan dex means, retard
>>
>>30121226
Is Celesteela really that good? I keep seeing people praising her but I don't get it. Is it one of those things that are better on practice than on paper or what?
>>
>>30121214
I thought that if you could catch it in game it was legal. Bummer
>>
>>30121249
Nah it's specifically says Alolan Dex only
>>
>>30121247
it's like ferrothorn in terms of "you better have something to hit me SE with or I'll just leech seed your whole team and never die", but with heavy slam instead of gyro ball, and slightly different weaknesses.

Beast boost and decent offenses also make it so you can't just sit there and ignore it until the end.
>>
Reminder when all Pokemon are allowed Genies and M-Kangaskhan will be on every team once again.
>>
>>30120417
>Highly Accurate Sleep:
>Smeargle (Dark Void)

Isn't Dark Void signatured for Darkrai only now?
>>
>>30121267
Fucking got it!

Lurantis gets contrary and can breed into Leaf Storm.
>>
>>30121308
that post hasn't been updated in a while

>>30121304
Wow anon you don't say? I wouldn't have realized it if not you telling us. You are so clever and smart. Here's a good boy medal for you.

>>30121317
Too bad Lurantis is shit.

>>30121317
Special Lurantis?

She even gets Rapid Spin for Singles.

Shame about being mono-grass. Imagine how much better she would be if she were Fighting or even Fairy. Fuck you Gamefreak.
