A Retrospective Look at Regulation H
Regulation H has come to a close. With Regulation G around the corner I decided to take a retrospective look at Regulation H. It was a very unique format being halfway through a games lifecycle and introducing bans to many common Pokémon, the metagame turned out partly as expected but also partly unexpected.
Today we go over how the meta played out, including what Pokémon and what players performed the best.

    Super hot take, not a big fan of Reg H. While Reg H is the format that got me into vgc in my 15 yrs of playing Pokémon, I will say I find Reg G more bearable. Reg H gives u the illusion of free choice, when in reality ur stuck to using counters against that stupid Archaludon & Pelipper combo. Because of the lack of legendaries, a lotta Pokemon don’t really stand a chance against threats like Archaludon, Sneasler, & Ursaluna. At least in Reg G, every Pokemon is super op to the point that it’s balanced.

    • @TheDelybird
      @TheDelybird 3 дні тому

      I have seen that take before so you aren't along. I would have to disagree though. Although mons like sneasler and archaludon are super strong, especially after researching for this video and going over usage stats, archaludon was never number 1 usage. I think 5th or 6th was it's highest. If it was as dominant as many people felt it was it would have taken at least top 3 at some point. Despite me not being the biggest reg G fan I believe it helps build skills that other formats just don't make you develop as much so it's still worth playing 100%. It's still fun IMO just not as much as regional dex formats.

    I think another point worth mentioning in reg Hs favor is that the lack of legendaries means putting teams together in the actual game is a LOT less time intensive than most other formats.
