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 highly requested Mega Evolution being brought for this week in Mega Altaria. Mega Altaria is an interesting mega usually outclassed by other Pokemon like Mega Gardevoir and Tapus however does have a few niches like completely walling the core of Incineroar, Tapu Bulu and Kommo-o excluding the Gengar and having Cloud Nine to negate weather effects. Calm Mind Cresselia puts in a ton of work today as our opponents try finding ways of breaking through it!
