With the release of the VGC 2016 rules, the whole VGC Meta is now crazy. I'm super excited to see all the crazy strategies that people can come up with now that the power level of the entire meta has shot up so much. With that being said, I've built a pretty standard team so far. It's still...

OK, I realize that true stall does NOT work in the VGC format. However, I've tried to make this team capable of dealing out damage but also able to tank and stall out opponents. That sounds weird, I'm sure. However, bear with me. I'll try to explain my reasoning and you can judge for yourself...

Hey guys, so I've been experimenting around with VGC ever since the 2015 Season started. I started watching PokeTubers like ShadyPenguin, PokeaimMD, and Cybertron (especially Cybertron) to try to get the hang of the VGC format. I've been in the Singles metagame for quite a while, but this VGC...

So I've tried out the new Megas for ORAS OU and have played with a lot of other megas in XY. But I always come back to Mega Pinsir. Mega Pinsir's just an overall awesome Pokemon, but it has a lot of checks that run rampant around OU. So this team is dedicated to countering those checks and...

This is my third try at a VGC team. My first two sucked so badly, I don't even know what I was thinking. Anyways, I don't know what EV Spreads I should put on some of these Mons yet because the Metagame hasn't completely developed yet, so right now I have pretty standard sets. I'm going to...

I tried building a Mega Pinsir team quite a while ago, but it's never really worked out that well. Back in the day, I didn't even know what a "core" was; I kinda just threw together random Pokemon that seemed to work well together and used that to try to ladder and climb. But now that I'm not...

Team at a glance: So the first thing to decide on is the main sweeper of this team, the MVP. Crawdaunt has been my favorite attacker ever since Gen 5 with the new HA, and XY just made Crawdaunt even stronger with a better Knock Off and Aqua Jet. So I decided to make Pinsir my main sweeper...

The Team: So the first thing that I decided were my two sweepers. I wanted a Special Sweeper and a Physical Sweeper. I went with Mega Pinsir because it is insanely powerful, and it's also at a comfortable 100 Base Speed, allowing it to outspeed most of OU. I also chose a Choice Scarfed...

So here's the team line up: Here's the team building process if you want to see. So first I know I wanted to use Pinsir as my Physical Sweeper and Chandelure as my Special Sweeper. Both of these Pokemon are weak to Stealth Rocks, and Chandelure is also weak to Spikes. So I know I needed...

So, I've been thinking about all the frail cannons that I used to battle with, and there was a lot of predicting that had to happen in order for my Pokemon to stay alive to see and battle another turn. It was a little too much for me, unfortunately, so I started trying to find Pokemon with...

Hi there, I'm pretty new to competitive Pokemon battling and I wanted to make a very good team. So I really need a lot of help. I also am not that familiar with some rules, so please point them out to me! And please hammer me with critiques, I want to get all the problems out of this...
