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!

Mega Heracross has always had a weird speed tier with it being viable in Trick Room or Tailwind but being mediocre in both. This week on Baek to Baek Battles, I am showcasing Mega Heracross with Intimidate Incineroar and other good stuff. Hyper Offense is scary to play against especially when you have zero safe switch ins to attacks.
