Introduction to Pokemon VGC 2016

37,588 views 3 months ago

Hey everybody! It's been about two weeks since VGC 2016 rules came out, and now that we have some sense of what the early metagame looks like, I decided it'd be a good time to release this guide. It's generally meant for newer players but I think everyone can find something helpful in it. As I mentioned, I plan on exploring each topic covered in-depth in separate videos so stay tuned. Hope this helps!
