Aaron Zheng (one of the top US VGC players) has created a video guide for getting started in the competitive scene for the new year of VGC tournaments. If you’ve been wondering how the pros construct teams or if you’ve just wanted some tips it’s definitely a must-see!

FEATURED DISCUSSION: Your Favorite SSB4 Character
Man i haven’t competitively battled in ages… i feel if i tried to get back into it now i’ll get one-sided due to lack of practice
Yeah but that’s a catch-22. If you don’t play you’ll never get practice again, etc.
Believe in yourself.
I believe in you 🙂
I haven’t battled competitively Since ORAS came out, i feel like by the time ORAS came, I was already exhausted by playing too much XY
Same. 😛
I actually fight more now than before!
Maybe it’s because I have more personally bred battle ready Pokémon bred already and I have more choices in team building in the actual game now. (As opposed to just making teams on Showdown.)
This is very helpful. Too bad I don’t really have to competitively breed anymore. I barely have time to just play the darn games.
Not only the info I like about this video, but u kno what? I really like that he used Saria’s Song from Ocarina of time lol
I love the name Aaron
And I suck at VGC 😐 the doubles meta game is wayyyyyy different from singles. When it comes to common threats, moves and abilities. Feels like I’m learning Pokemon all over again
Granted if i dared to use my Ground Mono, i can totally get Sand Stream Sand Rush quicker
I wish you East Coasters luck with that intense storm. Just don’t die, and everything will be alright. 😀
Rotom Wash, Talonflame, Greninja and just use popular sets that have no original strategy whatsoever.
Don’t forget mega kanga and landrous T. Everywhereeeeeee
And Latios, Heatran, and Gliscor and Azumarill
No originality i tell ya
“That person has a high score by using those Pokemon so I’m going to use what they use.”
*chain starts*
Greninja sucks in VGC actually. It’s too damn frail and priority is everywhere.
Dang. Is it that time already? *sigh* Better get started then…
I was going to do VGC this year but don’t know if I’ll be able to with this major and stuff…
So today at lunch I got something extra special!! I’m super excited!
(Refresh for pic)
how can i obtain one?
You just have to streetpass someone who already has it while you’re playing ORAS. And then POOF! there it is.
street pass is when you turn on the pss while playing the main game, right?
For those who live on the northern east coast of the U.S., stay warm and safe.
Make sure you have food for the next few days and make sure that you have any other necessity that you may need.
Also, DO NOT TRAVEL. That is literally a death sentence in this blizzard.
Make sure you also check in with your neighbors and friends, especially the elderly.
Wait to start shoveling until the blizzard either stops or calms down.
Finally, be prepared for the risk of a power outage. It’s boind to happen in the places getting more than 15 inches of snow.
I’m going to say this on behalf of the PokeJungle community;
Be safe, and stay warm.
Especially the Conkelderly because half the time they have Absol-utely no clue what’s going on.
And they’re more vulnerable to literally everything and can’t really get tasks done without hurting themselves.
But they’re still funny.
Nope. A lady in my town was killed in a tornado the day before Christmas Eve because she wouldn’t evacuate.
Oh….
That nope was for the “can’t get tasks done” part.
I see that now.
:0 how sad
you can’t tell me what to do!
*throws all food and warm clothing into a conveniently placed incinerator and drives into the white gray distance*
Upstate New York is gonna get worse that you will… ;(
whats up guys!!!!
If you guys would like to see Aaron Zheng battle, he’s streaming VGC battles live on Twitch right now!
Go watch and learn some things!!

I have my trusty Sharpedo and that’s all I need. I’ve won many battles with it.
And my Excadrill
Sadly i can’t use Rhyperior that much since he’s a big sitting Rock Rhino
Why not? Put Rock Polish on it and it wrecks.
Dude… base 40 Speed, even if Jolly and Scarfed it ain’t winning any priority matches
If you max out speed at level 100, it has 196 speed. +1 Rock Polish would bring it up to 392 speed. Someone is smoking in the dorm and I can smell it in my room.
but i thought it doesn’t matter since they’re rounded to 50 in online battles
And besides, i still got to worry about that appalling Sp Defense (that’s the real kill)
Also Gross, i cannot stand smoking one bit, one whiff and i got a headache
Even at level 50 it can get up to 202 max speed in a single Rock Polish boost. That’s enough to outspeed TImid Mega Sceptile.
It smell doesn’t really bother me, I just hate when me and my clothes smell like it.
if i survive the giga drain, and if my Mega Horn takes it out in one blow
If you move before it and carry Ice Fang, you’re bound to KO it.
You do realize i could just use Ice Punch
Honestly Rhyperior biting somebody?
This guy on Twitter is Adamant about proving me wrong that Archie is black and not tan. He doesn’t understand that Archie’s character is tan because he spends his time out at sea.
Someone hasn’t seen Marlon’s tan lines
in terms of pigment…. he’s as bronze as beyonce’s thighs.
in terms of ethnicity, he’s japanese.
I’ve never tried the VGC format.. I should try it someday
Ugh, Shiny Surskit instead of Shiny Deerling.
Whatever.

I have my final midterm tomorrow morning.
It’s regents timing, so it will only be 3 hours, and then I can come back home!
(If I actually have school tomorrow at all.)
I’m also off Thursday because I don’t have tests that day, so that means the only day I actually have a full day of school is Friday!
Maybe I’ll just stay home that day?
Then I can finally work on starting that VGC team!
Nevermind! Tests were cancelled again tomorrow!
Nothing to see here.
Attention Europickles and Aussies!
Reckless Emboar is available for you pretty soon…
Actually, it’s available RIGHT NOW!
Use the Serial Code POKEMON500 to recieve your Reckless Emboar!
Hmm Jolly Scarfed Reckless Flare Blitz
Seriously though. Why am I banned from chat.
what happened?
what me to ask around?
I logged on one day and then the next day it won’t let me do anything. Someone banned me for no reason.
How can you be banned ??? :O :O
I have no control in chat.
I know why *manic laughter*
Tell me.
