Pokemon.com feature - Unexpected Pokémon—Unbelievable Power

by rawmeatcowboy

GN Version 5.0

Helping unexpected Pokémon shine in battle can be both rewarding and fun. It's more challenging to build teams around Pokémon that may not have the highest stats, but you can create powerful strategies by drawing out each Pokémon's unique strengths.

We'll look at a trio of strategies featuring some unheralded Pokémon that players used to great success during the 2017 Video Game Championships season. Few Trainers expected Eevee, Oricorio, or Palossand to be top performers, but they've all helped Trainers edge closer to the Pokémon World Championships.

Each of these strategies will feature moves or Abilities that might seem a little silly if you normally engage in Single Battles. But many Pokémon that might not be your first choices for Single Battles can be key to unique strategies in Double Battles. Look closely at both the star Pokémon on these teams and at their supporting casts—perhaps you can repurpose some of these choices to create your own strategies.
