It seems like the European VGC Nationals are occurring at the same time as the European TCG Nationals. The times and locations for the VGC National were posted: http://www.pokemon.com/uk/play-pokemon/championship-series/video-game-national-championships/ Germany lines up with the...

Yes, it will. The game doesn't care how or when you get the EVs. It only matters that you have them.

That's sounds awesome. What do you plan to do for the device to show the DS screen on the TV? I was under the impression that TPCi doesn't rent out the devices they normally use.

Thanks to all the staff and volunteers that helped run the event. My brother and I are especially thankful that the staff still allowed us into VGC without penalty even though we missed the end of registration by over 15 minutes. We traveled over 8 hours to the event so we were happy our efforts...

"make the rankings" means you play at least 10 completed battles and you don't get disqualified for disconnecting or other reasons (like illegal Pokemon).

I think AlphaZealot's post was meant to be a preview before the document when live with the wider community. I don't think there's anything wrong with this since it lets them catch errors like the missing Soul Dew rule.

http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/op_2012_league_pokemon_distribution-2012-11-13/ I'm a Pokemon Video Game player with only a bit of TCG experience so I'm wondering how this promotion worked. What do we need to do to qualify for the Scizor download? Assuming the leagues nearby don't run...

What level is the Ditto and what is its Special Defense?

A word of caution. You can only have 5 battle videos on the online server at one time. If you upload a 6th video, it will replace your oldest one. If this topic sticks around for a while, a lot of the earlier battle video numbers will probably stop working.

If you have Sand up, Excadrill is already faster than just about anything without needing to boost its speed. Outside of Sand, the extra speed doesn't really help you outrun anything important. There are exceptions but it's more useful to have the extra attack. If you are confident you can keep...

If you've hatched the egg yourself, you can be sure the Pokemon is legit and will pass hack check. This works even if the parents wouldn't pass hack check. The big exception is unreleased dreamworld abilities. Those can be passed down to a baby from an illegal Pokemon and wouldn't be legal in...

Tyranitar @ Choice Band Adamant Sand Stream EV: 180 hp/252 atk/76 spd Crunch Fire Punch Earthquake Stone Edge Choice Band Tyranitar is probably usable but it's hard to use. Drop Choice Band for Chopple Berry. Change Stone Edge to Rock Slide. Drop Fire Punch and Earthquake for Low...

Nope. It's absolutely legal. The Drizzle/SwiftSwim ban is a fanmade clause used in some Single Battle formats.

Brendan used the team Prodigiosus used the win the US Nationals. The article he linked to shows the team he used to win the US Nationals (and thus the one Brendan used in the Worlds).

No, the weather would become Sunny (and replace whatever weather was there before). The weather won't do anything else until the Cloud Nine Pokemon switches out or is KO'd. Once they are not longer an active Pokemon, Fire moves will be powered up and SolarBeam will lose its charge without having...

Just to be clear, it only removes the effects. It does not remove the weather itself. If the Cloud Nine Pokemon switches out or is KO'd, the weather effects will come back.

Yes, event legendaries have always been banned. This is just confirmation that this practice is being continued.

Are you looking for Single Battle or Double Battle advice? I'm going to assume doubles. To deal with Cresselia you need to commit to trying to KO it early or letting it live and working around it. There are very few methods to OHKO Cresselia. Escavalier Bug Gem Megahorn, Heracross Bug Gem...

Keldeo is not legal. All Pokemon with a Pokedex number higher than 646 are also banned.

Yes, you can trade your Pokemon to an English game and play in the tournament.
