Welcome to another episode of VGC 18 Baek to Baek Battles, a VGC Battle Spot Series as I go on the Championship Battle Spot Ladder and play some games. The goal of the series is to try out new Pokemon, new strategies and learn as we battle one battle at a time towards the end of the season and the VGC 2018 World Championship!

A brand new Battle Spot Season and as always, we're starting things off with some strange stuff. Using Mega Garchomp for this week on Baek to Baek Battles. With Sand Force and Swords Dance, Mega Garchomp can do massive damage and with its pretty impressive bulk can factor into a very scary Pokemon to face. Kartana has been a pretty scary Pokemon for our team to handle.
