Sorry for the delay, but we're finally here! 🔥 A new Regulation M-C team for you guys! This team is built around a Metagross Psyspam core, with the spicy addition of Swampert! 🪝 This is the team I would've brought to Nice, so let's take a closer look! (continue below🧵👇)

Unfortunately, the meta has shifted quite a bit over the last few days. The rise of female Basculegion and a few other metagame developments have made this team a little less effective than it was the week before Nice. But trust me, this team is still really strong!🧵

Give it a try, and most importantly, if you run into Sand + Staraptor, enjoy one of the freest matchups of your life. Indeedee + Metagross can practically win that one in their sleep. 😎 See ya! ❤️

Now that Nice's Regional is over, I can finally say it. I was supposed to be there with my friends, but I couldn't get a spot. I'll wait a couple of days for things to calm down and then I'll share the team I would have brought. Be ready for Swampert(W.Herb)+MegaMetagross🤍😉

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly the reason why VGC is NOT a safe environment for women yet. Was unsure to publish this and will not translate as this disgusts me just too much

Since teams with Salamence and Floette are becoming super popular, I'd say we as a community need a name to identify those teams, I have two proposals

Welp, I think I'm currently in Champion rank, too bad there are no leaderboards in these first few days. Mega Salamence is insanely strong 😭🐲

Surely I can't be the only one who thinks that Sirfetch'd, Toxtricity, Thievul, Cinderace, Persian-Alola, Wigglytuff & Pawmot are all viable. They will obviously not reach a usage higher than 5% but I think they all have a lot going for them. Stop dooming and get creative 😑

Sure, teams with Mega Golisopod or Baxcalibur are cool... but I’m always thinking of the creative cooks for you out there! ​Here’s my Day 1 team featuring 4/6 new mons from Reg M-C: Mega #Salamence, #Toxtricity , Indeedee, and Alolan #Persian! Went 15-4 with it✨ Continue below👇

2/3 The core concept uses 2 Megas (Salamence & Blaziken) depending on coverage needs. ​• M-Salamence sets Tailwind for Sylveon & wins speed ties. • Indeedee provides redirection & anti-TR. • Alolan Persian shuts down Psyspam, pivots with Parting Shot, and handles Basculegion.

3/3 The real star? Toxtricity. It’s SO GOOD right now. Helping Hand + Toxtricity exerts massive pressure, and Scarf lets it outspeed the whole room alongside M-Salamence. ​Bad matchup: Rain w/ Swampert. Everything else is winnable! Give it a try! ⚡️🔥

Not sure what to play in these final days of Regulation M-B? I’ve got you covered with a team that can beat both the Big Six and Dragonite with no problem! The star of the team are Mega Venusaur and scarf Tyranitar alongside Grimmsnarl. Continue below⏬

P.Shot into Charizard and bring in Tytar, which then outspeeds Charizard, Basculegion, and Kingambit, threatening all three with a OHKO. Venu takes care of Sylveon or Sneasler, and Exca cleans up the rest. Against Dragonite or Staraptor, you obviously lead Milotic with screens.⏬

This team is VERY solid, but has only one problem: Metagross. If you face a team with it, it’ll be tough to win, but luckily it’s the only bad matchup. Against Sand you obviously bring Staraptor, while against Rain it’s always Venu + Grimm. I love this team, hope you like it! ❤️‍🔥
