GLHF at the Indianapolis Regional Championships! I cannot stress this enough: DON'T FORGET TO SUBMIT YOUR TEAM. You have until Saturday morning at 5:30 AM ET, but trust me: You don't want to wait until the last minute and get a Round 1 loss 🫣 🔁 to save a friend.

Incineroar's favorite Trainer Tip ‼️ Fake Out is a VGC staple that pressures your opponent with a flinch on the first turn. If you want to get tricky, you don't even need to use the move 🫣 Sometimes just the threat of a Fake Out forces a defensive reaction. #PokemonChampions
