Pokémon VGC, or Pokémon Video Game Championships, is a competitive format for playing the Pokémon video games. Players battle against each other using teams of Pokémon in a structured tournament setting. The format typically features double battles, where two Pokémon from each player are active at the same time, adding strategic depth to the gameplay. Competitors can participate in various events, including local tournaments and larger championships, often leading to the prestigious World Championships. Players must build their teams carefully, considering factors like Pokémon types, abilities, and moves to outsmart their opponents and achieve victory.
