Mega Scolipede VGC Team Building Guide | Pokémon Champions
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community is actively theorycrafting a competitive team centered around Mega Scolipede. This discussion explores optimal EV spreads, support pairings like Sinistcha and Aegislash, and strategies for both ladder play and tournament viability. Members are collaborating to refine this off-meta pick, focusing on maximizing Speed Boost utility and defensive bulk to ensure the set remains effective in competitive VGC environments.

I suppose you are waiting for 2 boosts of speed yes?
Than mega
Most of the time 1
2 if i have the chance
I have tw to back me up anyways
How fast is it with one speed boost without tw?
171
I think maybe adding a bit of special bulk to guarantee sd would be good
And adding sini
Or would you like to go off meta a bit
Nah mscolipede is already off meta enough
How much do you recommend
Few off meta picks never made if impossible
We should calc it to survive something
Not just put random number
Tho I think maybe running it without the speed boost in trick room can work as well
Yeah i had an idea like that
Because base 68 speed can work tho mega evolving it faster
Tho disguising it as speed boost
good idea
If used in ots it wouldn't work
Ofc
So is this for ladder or tournament
Ladder
Than we can go crazy
Let me just make breakfast and while I eat I'll make something
Except for scolipede is there any Mon you would like to use
hi2
Let's gooo
i tried building scolipede for my gym team.... this is what i thought... feel free to agree or disagree with me
🤔
- scolipede without sd is lack of dmg. so it need to setup 1 or if ur greedy, 2 sd.
- if u want to operate it in tr. then u need too many setup. so i think speed boost still the way to go.
for my scolipede, i use 31 HP / 15Atk / 20 spe
I don't think that tr is too much set up
with scolipede u need someone who help u setup sword dance 😄
what i thought is
1. annihilape/raptor with final gambit
2. redirection
3. fakeout
I think that sini plus tini
Tink*
Do perfectly well
Redirection, al soy guaranteed fake out
to setup tr reliably u need fakeout/redirection mmon right... then tr is up. u need to switch to scolipede then setup sd
Shed Tail + Unburden + Sitrus Berry Sceptile into M Scoli should get him to +2 speed then Mega.
thats a turn wasted
Discord sent us an expired image link.
Prolly cross poisin or jab :3
Why not just set up tr the same turn you sd
but thats my thought, feel free to agree or disagree hehehe
your oponent can double your tr setter
That's why I said do tailroom
tailroom can work
And sini can get doubled that's true but I think with sitrus it can work
Busted as it's very in between speed tiers
with 20EV in speed. his speed is 152. + speed boost become 228, thats faster than aero
That's alot of investment for someone with speed boost :c
I still think that running tailroom is betyer
Not optimal yet. It's hard to search optimal ev for non meta Mon hahahaha
I just tested it. Then I drop it
https://pokepast.es/7aecedd4a64b6bdf
I think thic can work I guess
Tho not sure about second mega
Someone is winning with it
Ok
Wtf is that
