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!

For this week, I will be using a Mega Evolution that a lot of people have requested me to use and that is the evergreen Mega Sceptile. With Lightning Rod boosting it's Special Attack when hit by an electric type move, Mega Sceptile can go for some immediate pressure against the opponent while outspeeding most threats. Don't ever Earthquake yourself even if its the play because it never goes well.
