Hello, Cut or Tap readers! I’m Alex Arand, the latest addition to DDG and one of the inaugural VGC players on our team. With several Regional events unfolding since the initiation of Regulation E in early October, beginning with the Peoria Regionals, I’d like to take this opportunity to recap the recent developments in the VGC landscape, and share insights on what we might anticipate at the upcoming Toronto and San Antonio Regionals.
Ogerpon’s Impact
The Teal Mask DLC introduced several new Pokémon, all of which saw play over the past couple of weekends. Sinischa, Ursaluna-Bloodmoon, and Ogerpon are all exceptional Pokémon, each bringing interesting new movepools and abilities that have shaken up the previous metagame, which was dominated by Urshifu Rapid-Strike. However, Ogerpon has particularly stood out, consistently maintaining a high usage rate with its versatile Hearthflame and Wellspring forms.
