Were all used on my team nice. the only member not on there was Mandibuzz

>>32001822
I used Primarina, Bulu, Arcanine, Pheromosa and Gigalith. Salazzle was the last one, but she didn't make it on the top 30.

>>32001798
>Incineroar is the only starter seeing usage in VGC
>Primarina is the only starter in the top 30 in the International Challenge(same rules as VGC)
What?

>A minmaxed part bug UB is the only fighting type
RIPped in peace fighting type

>>32001895
Primarina is still pretty okay and has her niche, even though it will be better once Liquid Voice is released. Incineroar is good right now, but I guess people just prefer Arcanine until Intimidate is out

>>32001407

>>32001912
We have had separate threads for the top used 'mons on every challenge.

>>32001911
>incineroar is good fight now

HAHAHSHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJSHAHA ANON

>Numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 either counter or check Garchomp
>Garchomp is still number 1
How does he do it?

How can someone still be so perfect despite everything being against him more and more every year?

>>32001968
How the fuck are Koko and Arcanine counters to Garchomp? Just because some Koko carry HP Ice/Fairium Z it doesn't mean its a counter. Scarfchomp counters them as well.

>>32001976
I wrote check there for a reason idiot.

>>32001981
They are not checks either. Dazzling Gleam doesn't do enough to Garchomp.

>>32001984
You just mentioned two Koko sets that can check Garchomp. Are you retarded or just pretending?

>B-But scarfchomps outspeeds!
Not all Garchomps are scarf.

I'll give you Arcanine though, how he's more of an annoyance because EQ than a check.

>>32001990
Scarfchomp is way more popular than Fairy Z-move or HP Ice Koko, anon.

>>32002126
I fucking despise Scarfchomp

Huh, 4 of the top 30 were in my team. I used Golisopod though and Aerodactyl. I used bulkychomp though, ev'd to take an outrage from le scurf. Only saw one scarfchomp though and it quaked so it was kinda moot

>>32001798
Primarina still putting in work.

>>32001895
>>32002542
Keep in mind that a bunch of people with in game teams were on the competition just to get the stones, so that inflates the usage on things that aren't that good.

>>32002711
It's pretty much the only one in that category though, so it's either "good enough" or really popular.
I'm surprised Incineroar isn't there instead of it, though.

>>32002728

It will be once Intimidate comes out desu

>>32002755
Oh, I definitely agree.

The stats are skewed by casual players who just wanted mega stones (it had a whopping 116k entrants), better off just looking at the regular VGC ladder stats https://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/battle/#wcs

>MUH MY BARACAT IS A WORSE VERSION OF A MON WITH BETTER STATS, MOVEPOOL AND DESIGN WHY ISN'T IT USED :(((((((
Fuck you Barafags. You are the reason why we haven't found a cure for cancer yet. Arcanine is way better and will always be, even after the "B-BUT HIDDEN ABILITY WILL MAKE IT BETTER" meme. Just accept the fact that your starter is a barafag furry shitmon that is just a way worse Arcanine and stop shitting up these threads with your baracat shill.

>>32002897

Didn't know that Arcanine got Fake Out, thanks for that hot steaming pile of assumptions.

I don't even fucking like Incineroar, but Fake Out+Intimidate is always a powerful combination in doubles.

>>32002897
I'm not a "Barafag", I chose the seal. I just play VGC and know what has potential, you idiot.

>Top place holder in the International Competition is SmogonVGC
really makes you think

>>32002711
Primarina with assvest is good though. I can't find any use for the other 2

>>32001798
STILL THE KING

>>32002948
Nah, Incineroar is really good too. Fake Out, Dark Typing, slow U-turn with assault vest and Intimidate (in the future) will make it a great Pokémon. I used Primarina with Choice Specs in this competition and it's pretty okay, it will be better once Liquid Voice comes out and you have 2 different really strong spread moves.

>>32002969
Right, it was a doubles tournament. I didn't take part, I just play singles.
HAs when

>>32002948
Primarina was mostly used with Primarium Z in this competition

>>32003000
Fellow singles fag here.

It was fucking awful.

>>32001798
Primarina?
Xurkitree?

>>32003048
Yes?

>>32001798
Wasn't Mimikyu a meme?

>>32003048

Scarf Xurkitree paired with Toppu Kekku does absurd amounts of damage, or you have quite a few TR teams, volt switch kekku out turn 1 while you set up TR bring in 0 speed LO or specs Xurkitree and sweep.

Yno Toxapex?
Why Lilligant?

>>32002711
>implying Primarina is that popular

>>32003073
I got my shit wrecked by lilligant/torkoal combos.

I honestly regret not running toxapex. Would have done way more than fucking chansey

TRASHED

>>32001911
>Liquid Voice helping at all
Her only decent sound move is Hyper Voice, and there's literally no reason to use Hyper Voice over Sparkling Aria.
Torrent is objectively a better ability for Primarina.

>>32003133
Liquid voice has ONE(1) use and that is to give a surf that goes through subs and doesn't hit a partner in doubles

>>32003133
Don't talk if you have no idea what you're talking about. Hyper Voice doesn't hit your partner.

>>32003133
>there's literally no reason to use Hyper Voice over Sparkling Aria.
>there's no reason to use a move with the same power and STAB, doesn't hit your partner without Water Absorb/Telepathy, and doesn't cure the opponent's burns

>>32001968
That's a female Garchomp in the OP, fag.

I also had 4 of the top 30 Pokes on my hastily-constructed team. The other two were Decidueye and Buzzwole (since I don't have Kartana yet). Both put in a little bit of work, but were fielded waaaay less than my others.

>Bring Discharge instead of Thunderbolt on Koko; end up with both it and Alolawak on my field often

>>32001895
Why would you use Incineroar without Intimidate when you have Arcanine ?

Really, if you want Incineroar to stand a chance at least wait for its HA.

>>32006654
More like I was questioning how Incineroar was the only starter to see usage among top VGC contestants, while Primarina is the only starter in the top 30 for a challange that has the same rules.

>>32006725
Hoooo, i'm dumb, my bad then.

No fucking clue about that, i don't know much about Incineroar.
