New top dog coming to the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet VGC, here’s the trick

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet VGC: Legendary Pokémon on the Rise

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet VGC will enter its first restricted metagame with Regulation G, and an unexpected Legendary dog is already on the rise.

Regulation G Ruleset Taking Effect

Starting May 1, the Reg G ruleset will take effect in Scarlet and Violet, allowing VGC players to bring one restricted Pokémon on their team. In other words, plenty of powerful Legendary Pokémon are expected to shake up the metagame. Back at the Europe International Championships (EUIC) earlier this month, we asked pros for their predictions on which Pokémon would be good in Reg G. Most agreed Calyrex Shadow Rider would be on everyone’s radar, while Terapagos and Kyogre were also mentioned.
