VGC Tips
- 01Focus on Pokemon that need fewer move changes to save VP early on.
- 02Nature changes are expensive — recruit Pokemon with the right nature when possible.
- 03Mega Stones are the biggest single investment. Choose your Mega wisely.
- 04Stat Points add up fast across a full team. Prioritize key stats over maxing everything.
- 05A full team of 6 costs roughly 25,980 VP — plan your roster carefully.
