How Competitive are Local Events?
First and most importantly I already fixed my whimsicott EVs
Second, I'm more of a TCG Player but have always wanted to dabble in the VG, but the high price point (lol) and hours of grinding for optimal Pokémon has always turned me away.
With champions coming out (despite having 0 space in home and refusing to pay for it) I'm able to play for the first time, and after switching my team around for a while I finally settled on this.
I want to go to locals just for fun, but if it's going to be hyper competitive I don't really feel like showing up to get stomped. I don't even have an answer for Floette here lol.
But yeah are locals super competitive in the video game where everyone is running super optimal teams? Or is it like the TCG where people have pretty decent stuff but still wacky shenanigans and not sweat lords.
Oh and if would be good to know if Local events are running on champions yet or if they're still S&V
As for the team, I want to add Archaladon but don't have anyone I can really switch off. I also haven't found one. Garchomp is too good and my only ground type (even if I suck with her), Medicham is surprisingly busted and I find myself bringing Primarina to most matchups. So instead my only answer to Fairy types are to pray that Primarina can tank a couple hits. Same with ghost types but less of an issue with them. Currently climbing through Ultra Ball with this team pretty consistently if I don't outplay myself. Anyways thats ab it
