VGC Team Review and Item Help

Summary

In Pokémon Champions this announcement asks for optimizations and offers team feedback on Incineroar, Whimsicott, Sylveon, Dragonite, Aggron and Ninetales. It covers suggested move or set swaps, special vs physical Dragonite trends, and troubleshooting why a purchased Fairy Feather won’t appear as an equip option for Sylveon.

youngdolphin-50 OP

Not new to vgc but I am new to playing it. I dabbled in competitive vgc here and there throughout scarlet and violet. But as far as team building goes I suck ngl. Any help and tips would be appreciated :3 also why can't I give my sylveon a fairy feather ;-;

  1. Incineroar
    No comments, standard build with nothing wrong
  2. Whimsicott
    Fine, but I personally don’t like 2 non-prankster moves on my whimsicott. Would replace u-turn
  3. Sylveon
    A good sylveon build but sylveon isn’t super powerful right now
  4. Dragonite
    I mostly see special dragonite builds these days, but for a physical build, yours is great
  5. Aggron
    Good set, not sure if there is something better to replace stealth rocks
  6. Ninetales
    I like it, but adding aurora veil never hurts
youngdolphin-50 OP

Any reason I can't give certain items to certain pokemon I want despite buying the item?(ex. Fairy Feather for Sylveon)

happycandle-57

Not really, items are pretty free choice right now

youngdolphin-50 OP

I mean like it doesn't let me ;-; I bought it and wanna give it to sylveon to boost hyper voice(since he has pixilate) but it doesn't give me the option

happycandle-57

You have the click r in the item selection screen, its like a hidden section

happycandle-57

I was confused earlier

youngdolphin-50 OP

Is what I assumed a battle item not a battle item?

youngdolphin-50 OP

Won't even show up and now I'm confused

happycandle-57

Yeah, horrible ui design

happycandle-57

Thats where you find mega stones and items you purchase

happycandle-57

I had to look it up

youngdolphin-50 OP

Thanks a lot not sure if I would've figured that out myself ngl

happycandle-57

I had to look it up lmao, its horrible ui design

youngdolphin-50 OP

This game is amazing imo but damn the lows are LOW

happycandle-57

Yeah, its great training pokemon with sets and ivs in seconds but the animations and ui design is pretty horrible

happycandle-57

I’ve been having a ton of fun with #channel

here's some resources you might want to reference
https://munchstats.com/
https://labmaus.net/home
https://victoryroad.pro/
they only have data from previous formats for now, but they're still good for getting a basic understanding of sets for individual mons and team composition

i would also recommend watching these

silentcloud-10

im not trying to be condescending or whatever, but i really think you would benefit from getting an understanding of the fundamentals before you spend more resources

youngdolphin-50 OP
