The Pokémon Global Link has long been a great resource for VGC players due to its wealth of data on both International Challenges and the Battle Spot Doubles ladder. Today, the Global Link expanded into new ground, posting an analysis of the top Pokémon used in the February International Challenge. The article goes over the top threats from February and some of their most common items, moves, and counters during the last International Challenge. Competitive video game strategy content straight from The Pokémon Company International is pretty rare with little published since Worlds, so it’s a pleasant surprise to see an article of this size. The article doesn’t go quite as deep into specific strategic decisions as an article here might, instead seeming to be aimed at being accessible to players of all levels of experience. With signups for the next International Challenge starting soon, hopefully the Pokemon Global Link article will get more players trying to learn more about competitive Pokémon and the official format of the Video Game Championships.
The Pokémon Company International has also started posting battle videos from top players in online competitions on the official Pokémon YouTube channel, which currently has battles from the Battle of Hoenn and Generation Showdown online tournaments.
