Pokeventurer's Ramblings

Hey guys I am back with another post. Here I'll be discussing my recent experience of entering the Smogon VGC tournament. Although it was a grassroots level event that was not official, with Smogon being the origin of the competitive Pokémon community, this was a reasonably big deal. Also given that this tournament was the bridge between the Japan grassroots tournament and the Pokémon world championships it was expected to have a lot of eyes on it and worlds competitors playing for experience. Without further ado, let us get into the team I brought. Once again, a PSA this is the one team I had been working on for majority of the Reg I format and decided it was my best shot at bringing something I reasonably understood in how to play. although my major concern was that this current version of the team was quite predictable and not the best suited to Bo3 open team sheet with the experience I had with this team. I needed an update and needed it quick. Here's the key list of probl...

Hey everyone! this is Talha and I go by the alt Pokeventurer. This is a team report I am writing as an update to my previous team with Lunala and Koraidon. This isn't a brand new team but things changed enough to a point where I felt like I needed to add this version to my blog right here. without further ado let's get at it! TLDR Version: REG I teams in a formula feel like 3 attackers with some disruptive moves and 3 support mons with little offensive prowess. This team does the same, but I have 3 redirection support and no fake out users in the mix. The 3 supports give you options to mixup the MU during a BO3 and adjust. E.g Brute Bonnett and Ogerpon-H are both capable to support vs CIR-Kyogre teams. Lunala feels like the best Restricted in a vacuum this format; Fake out and Body Press Immune, Shadow Sheild, Wide Guard and ability to take out Incineroar and Chi Yu with Meteor beams. Koraidon feels like its best partner in crime taking care of any other dark types, providing b...

Hi everyone, this is a new blog on my end as I try to write about Pokemon, mostly to report on my VGC teams. Today I have a team for you for the freshly introduced Regulation I format which finally allows 2 restricted pokemon on a single team opening up the Pandora's Box on the possibilities. This is a Lunala + Koraidon team I built recently and am starting to really like, sharing it so you good people can use it to explore the format further. Without further ado, let's get started! I realized there is alot more of a backstory than I had initially realized to me making this team. In the end of Reg G I was trying a Bo1 Reshiram Sun and Psyspam team and looking back now, It feels relevant to see how this venture ended up paying off for good. You can read it down below: My Recent Reshiram Team Struggles My last venture, fully knowing that Reg G was in its ending days, I again had the itch to make Reshiram work, despite there being not much for it to work. Its stats are quite...
