@Adam0193 @MichaelderBeste Ah ok I kept seeing ppl say it but I haven't got off work yet to watch the video

@DarkCodeVGC @MichaelderBeste Wolfe released a video today where he got to test a demo build of champions and his incin couldn’t learn knock off and gengar couldn’t learn encore

Did they really remove IVs in Champions? 🥲

@Profkoji I lost sooo many Bo1 matches to ppl having off the wall Tera types on mons.

I agree with this 100 percent. It creates lazy board positions as well imo. It enables a little too much imo, was fun, but excited to move away from it for a bit

@Adam0193 @MichaelderBeste Where did you see they removed Knock off?

@MichaelderBeste It’s looking like they did but I really hope not ): They also changed protect PP from 16 down to 8 and removed knock off from incineroar and encore from gengar.. All huge changes I am really hoping aren’t the case in the final version 😢

@JacobSkraw I'm very excited thats my birthday weekend.

546 signups already!! This is absolutely insane, I think that’s more than double the participants in my first ever regional. Thank you all so much for the support. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

@AndyLaVGC Ya honestly I wish they would tell us what pokemon we can't use

Have ya’ll thought about how like technically we don’t REALLY know if the pre-evolutions of any of these mons will be in champions? (This isn’t intended to be a doom post, but like I guess it could be)

@FoolGroucho @LolOut160461 @SerebiiNet Intimidate won't matter for Mega Dragonite because it switches to a special attacker

@LolOut160461 @SerebiiNet Even worse. If base form has Inner Focus, they get immunity from Intimidate at the first turn.

Serebii Update: Abilities for new Mega Evolutions have also been confirmed in Pokémon Champions Mega Dragonite gets Multiscale Mega Froslass gets Snow Warning serebii.net

@playpokemon So what's the regulation rule set?

Beginning in April, #PokemonChampions will be used at some side events at Regional Championships, along with registration for Global Challenge I. The option to participate in Friendlies at Play! retailers will also being at launch! To ensure the live event experience is as smooth as possible, the Indianapolis Pokémon Regional Championships will be the first live, official Pokémon Championship Series event to use Pokémon Champions as its exclusive competitive platform!

@ItachiVgc It might be a mistranslation. There are rumors we are getting another trailer tomorrow with more information

Does the official Pokemon TikTok with 10 million followers have a video with English text saying Pokemon Champions releases March 25th? Yes. Is it real? Yes. Does the game release March 25th? No. Has the release been poorly managed by all those involved? Yes

@justinbyleth Ngl I used to purposely hit it in front of them then use arrow button to deselect it.

This is a silly VGC question but during offline events how do you not make it obvious when you're going to tera? It's pretty clear what's going on when you hit the R button right in front of your opponent lol

Retweet to scare a veteran VGC-player

Looks like we’re gonna start getting acrylic trophies and “digital rewards” ribbons for winning locals copium

@AldrichYan How in the world is Paul Chua not on this list?

Top 8 VGC Players in the World Right Now: 1. Leonardo Ritter 2. Luciano Begot 3. Allan Gabriel 4. Sebastian Escalante 5. Fábio Lima 6. Pedro Henrique Samayoa Rubini Cini 7. João Felipe Leite 8. Christian Rangel and it is NOT up for debate

@Max_LJCR I mean Pink got me into day 2 at a regional

Debate is over

@unironicpanda He did that just for you I think

wtf

This guy is ranked 104 on ladder. What kinda shenanigans am I about to see!

@45mice I actually think this is smart for them. They have to make sure all event staff know how to troubleshoot issues. They also probably want the game servers to undergo the stress of a GC to make sure its not going to crash before having it at a live event.

Based on the verbiage, LA will be SV as that’s what is on sign ups. What a colossal fuck up. If champions is so hopelessly behind and a disaster just delay it. Horrendous communication and execution from top to bottom.

I built a tool that generates a beautiful Teamsheet overlay for the Pokémon Showdown Teambuilder, perfect for Teambuilding videos or just to admire your team! Check it out: github.com/FullLifeGames/…

@mentalsyndrome From what I've seen when they announced the GC being on Champions they got alot of backlash. I think announcing it won't be for points and announcing reg I are damage control.

@playpokemon That's weird considering we know the next Global challenge is on Champions.
