I love how different the same Pokémon can feel depending on the format. Which one has grabbed you more in Champions?

    DOUBLE BATTLES!!!

    I don't play Single lol

    I feel like Doubles are more fun, requires more thought and strategy, and are more exciting than Single

    Doubles permits Pokémon with specific abilities to be more impactful. Pokemon that initiate Weather, Terrain or have an ability that can protect an Ally from a specific Type(Storm Drain, Lightning Rod) instantly increases their value. Even Oricorio who'd normally be a meh Pokémon in Singles is a serious threat in Doubles because of their Dancer Ability(copying Dance moves automatically so if an Ally uses Swords Dance before they move, they copy it).

    Honestly, when it comes to battles… I usually stick towards Singles, but I do have interest in getting into VGC doubles, I just need to get the motivation to start, and all.

    Singles, but not Champions singles. I prefer the more diverse meta and the fact more niche Pokémon can shine in lower tiers. Doubles is okay, but I’m fed up of the meta just like osho

    Doubles. Literally no question.

    There is SO much more you can do in doubles, especially when you bring self-attacking moves into the mix.

    Also I like how the meta's easier to counter and a lot more flexible
