How To Build a Pokemon VGC Team SIMPLIFIED

[@lukeisapanini]

Bro just exposed that fact that I am sat here, topless, watching a video about building a VGC Team 💀

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Half my class showed up without shirts. I’m starting to think this is a ‘prank your professor’ thing.

[@OXYMORON69420]

HE JUST DID THE SAME TO ME DAWG

[@yen-y4o]

@@OXYMORON69420 FR i think he can see me

[@Sportsaddict20107]

Same like bro

[@MADMOGtheFrugal]

I am ashamed say me as well😅

[@ZeeonXine]

A good tip about team building as well, is just try out some other people's teams before building your own. Trying out already well taught out teams so you can actually see how a well constructed team runs, as well as watching and learning from people who used that team competitively. i.e. after watching the Baltimore Regionals, I really liked finalist Paul Chua's hyper-offense team, specially that Alolan Ninetales, so I'll be playing with it for a few days. And as always, great content, Professor, excited for the next video.

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

You're right! In fact, the guide also recommends trying out well-constructed teams when you're just starting, so you can learn how they operate in competitive play. Paul Chua's team is definitely a great choice-the Alolan Ninetales was so fun to watch! Thanks for the support, always happy to see you pop up in the comments, ZeeonXine!

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Bests of luck on your teambuilding journey!

[@acetfp]

Your editing was very engaging. Nice video!

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thank you! I'm completely self-taught, so it can be a bit rough at times, but I think I get better with each video.

[@mindless_mello]

I will NOT in fact wear a shirt next time😤

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Mindlesss_mello, you're upsetting your classmates!

[@RMwhite]

This is like one of the few videos I’ve worn a shirt for in ages. I feel prepared 😂

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

@@RMwhite Looking through my comment section, you're in the minority...

[@RMwhite]

@@PokeProfessorJoshbelieve me, any other day and I would certainly be in the majority 😂 Good content btw, just subbed

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thank you for the support!

[@YaBoiMaldy_YT]

That shirt comment caught me wayy off guard lmaoo, Definitely was shirtless XD

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

You were caught off guard? Imagine how I felt! I'm trying to teach, and there you are.

[@japatronic69]

Dude I watched this while showering that intro was so good

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

@japatronic69 You have a good speaker if you can hear the intro over the water.

[@Nankeroo]

This is genuinely a fantastic video! Thank you for making it! 😄👍

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thank you so much! I had a blast making it, so I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@JourneyWithASHiko]

This was an exceptionally well done video! Definitely subbing 🙌🏻😁

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thank you so much and welcome aboard!

[@ph34rbucket91]

Thank you for the video, you have definitely given me a lot to think about

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

@@ph34rbucket91 Happy hunting!

[@TrusttheDoc]

Slow!? Brilliant video man, it's Slowbro's time to shine! Good thing gambit, gholdengo, Rilla, Archaludon, and Incin are rarely used! I wouldn't mind a video going into more detail about speed tiers. Keep it up!

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Never give up on your dream! Your distant, distant dream.

[@aidansoto443]

why do you mean that that mons are rarely used 😂

[@sloowbroo]

Indeed it is my time

[@TrusttheDoc]

@@sloowbroo *Indeedee it is your time!* Go expand your force my slowest of bros!

[@Henkita2]

It's funny because in singles slowbro is RU lol

[@SerotoninRoninShonen]

Haha its been a while since ive gotten 'got' on one of those jokes, i was definitely shirtless watching this 😂 earned a sub

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Haha, glad I could catch you! Shirt or no shirt, welcome aboard!

[@Hyppoe]

Underrated channel. only 719 subs??? Nah. its 720 subs now. Amazing channel!

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thank you so much! 721 now! Slow and steady wins the race, I guess. Hopefully. Jokes aside, I really appreciate your kind words.

[@Hyppoe]

@@PokeProfessorJosh In know that you probably don’t want to, but I recently made a team with my favorite Pokémon dragonite. But it’s in sword. Do you mind making one too just to see if mine is similar?

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thanks for thinking of me! I’m focused on making videos right now, but check out teams on Smogon or Pikalytics to compare and maybe find areas for improvement, like the reverse engineering section I mentioned in the video. I’d love to hear how your team works out!

[@Hyppoe]

@@PokeProfessorJoshThank you!!

[@Hyppoe]

@@PokeProfessorJoshI built the team with a weakness policy dragonite and eviolite togetic (I know it’s weird just trust me). Togetic is great because it learns ancient power to activate the policy. It also has follow me and helping hand. Then I used some support mons like amoongus and incineroar, and for offense I have an electric seed tapu koko to make it bulky and hits really hard

[@danielshamlian2800]

First vid of yours I was fed--best of luck.

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thank you so much for checking it out, I really appreciate the support!

[@detectivemuffler8083]

Thanks for the video, I’m trying to make some adjustments to a team I made and needed advice but had nobody to turn to. I’m trying to see if I can use a Scrafty as a support, in the current meta it’s a damn nightmare, but I wanna see if I can get it going. Now I know what adjustments I need to make, thanks!

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Hey, that's awesome! I'm really glad the video helped, and best of luck with your Scrafty!

[@Iris_VGC]

I know I’m late but I’m here once again to help the algorithm, amazing video again and a question: what’s your favourite psudo legendary

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Good to see you again, and thanks for helping out the algorithm! My favorite has to be Tyranitar, not because of VGC, but because I remember watching it in 'Pokémon 4Ever: Voice of the Forest' and thinking how cool it was. It's been my favorite ever since.

[@Iris_VGC]

@@PokeProfessorJosh tyrantitar is always good, must be nice to be in a format where he’s good again :D (my favourite is chi-yu, I miss that fish so much :( )

[@Iris_VGC]

@@PokeProfessorJoshalso I have to ask now, what’s your all time favourite?

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

My favorite of all time? Poliwrath! It’s been my favorite since I first started playing Pokémon, though the channel mascot, Poliwag, is a close second!

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

I had a feeling Chi-yu was your favorite! It's also a great Pokemon.

[@coltonketchum6321]

Great vid!

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Thanks! I appreciate you!

[@candyneige6609]

60 cards are all you need for competitive Pokémon.

[@ismael8926]

Its not a matter of having 6 good pokemon, but having a good 6 pokemon

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

Exactly, synergy is a big part of the guide. A team with members that cover specific weaknesses will always beat a bunch of beatsticks... looking at you, Elite Four Lance.

[@Zyxxofficial]

new subscriber here great tips

Team building can definitely feel impossible at first! Keep at it though, and things will start to gel Taco Bell.

Word on the street is this Professor guy is cooking up a part 2.

[@mydiary2me]

On which device i can play pokemon vcg

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

@mydiary2me For official competition? You need a switch. For pretty much anything else, you can use Showdown on any computer.

[@FranklinSteele]

I'm wearing a shirt but is that fact in the opening true?

[@PokeProfessorJosh]

@FranklinSteele Yes, it's true! Thank you for wearing a shirt to class.

The thing is the reason I want a good competitive team is Pixelmon I'm playing a Pixelmon server and every Pokemon is there you can't change abilities mega evolutions are there but theirs no other gimmicks so I'm trying to find an overall good team including every Pokemon region
