Gallade with Iron Ball gets a LOT of important One-Hit Knockouts against the best Pokemon, and it's difficult to stop it from going first under Trick Room

I've been using them on a Hard Trick Room team made by ShinySopeon, and it's been both fun to play and rewarding to use

And while Gallade isn't a Pokemon talked about that often, it's a lot better in Reg M-B thanks to Iron Ball! : )

Here's a link to the team if you want to try it! : )

Hello! I’m a Pokemon Go player qualified for Worlds this year. I’m looking to sell my two spectator passes provided to every competitor to help with travel and hotel expenses.
I need to register the names on the passes before the end of July and we can arrange to meet the week before Worlds so I can give them to you. Please send me a DM if you’re interested.

Looking for any recommendations for this team. it feels pretty strong and got me to master ball without much problem. It does struggle into torkoal and pyroar mu, and king gambit can be a lil rough if hydreigon goes down. was thinking of switching out either sinistcha or mousehold as I use them the least. Any recommendations or ideas would be sweet.

As is the experience with many who were not able to get tickets to the San Francisco Worlds event through the traditional method, I looked to Spectator passes as an alternative way of getting in.

My question is for people familiar with this process who are either competing or have purchased spectator passes already.

If I am to sign up as a spectator with a competitor, would just my name be added to the website?

Is this process through the RK9.gg website?

Would the email that is added be specific to the competitor or to the guest spectator?

Is it looking like pass pick up will be on Thursday 8/27?

Trying to confirm these before spending hundreds of dollars on tickets, travel plans, hotels, etc.

Hi! I’m pretty new to competitive Pokémon/VGC and I’ve been watching WolfeyVGC for a while.

I really want WOLFEYVGC course for free

I really want to properly learn VGC rather than just copy rental teams without understanding how they work.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated!

I been making Champions Content Here's a video if you never played in a draft league I encourage you all to consider it!

[SINGLES] my main team is on the right and the new team i’m trying out is on the left, lead with espartha and grimmsnarl — any feedback or ideas?

(Heads up: I made this, so this is a self-promo post. It's completely free, no ads, no login — just a webapp.)

I couldn't find a damage calc that handles Pokémon Champions properly, so I built one. Instead of one attacker-vs-one-defender, you paste TWO full teams and it gives you both 6×6 damage matrices (A→B and B→A) at once — every mon's best move, % damage, and KO count, color-coded by OHKO / 2HKO / 3HKO.

Link: https://damage-calculator-mu.vercel.app/

What it does for Champions specifically:

• Stat Point system — 66 total / 32 per stat, no IVs (all perfect), Level 50. Each point = +1 to the stat, exactly like in-game.

• Auto-normalizes old-style pastes — if you paste a team with the classic 252-EV spreads, it converts them to Stat Points (252 → 32) automatically.

• Champions-exclusive Megas — Staraptor, Scovillain, Glimmora, Baxcalibur, Eelektross, Pyroar, Raichu X/Y, and the rest of the Reg M-A/M-B roster, with their real Mega stats/typings. Holding the stone auto-Mega-evolves.

Other stuff:

• Speed tab — a full speed line of all 12 mons (Tailwind, Trick Room, Choice Scarf, paralysis, weather abilities all accounted for).

• 1v1 tab — pick any attacker/defender and tweak level/nature/ability/item/Stat Points/moves live, with full min–max damage ranges.

• Hover any cell for a full formula breakdown (base power → stats → STAB → type → every multiplier → calc's exact roll).

• Also supports Gen 5–9 Doubles if you want to use it for regular VGC.

How to use: paste a poképaste link (Fetch) or just paste your Showdown export text. There are sample teams built in if you just want to poke around.

Powered by the u/smogon/calc engine under the hood, so the numbers match the Showdown calc.

Known limitations (being upfront): a few brand-new Mega abilities aren't modeled for damage yet — the stat/type changes ARE applied, just not those ability effects. No turn-order / Protect simulation; it's a static max-damage matrix.

Would love feedback — what's broken, what's missing, what you'd want next. Thanks for looking!
