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!

With Water Bubble Araquanid can do some massive damage with Liquidation and this week we are trying a new combination I was curious to test in Mega Gardevoir and Araquanid. Rotom-H is a Pokemon that I think is really underused in VGC 2018 and we get to face one and see it put in some work.
