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 Alakazam which has always been awkward in VGC due to being frail but with its high base speed, special attack and with Psychic Terrain, it is threatening some massive damage. This week is a hyper offense Mega Alakazam Team! Braviary gets to put in some work for this episode!
