Forget Amoonguss, this underrated Pokémon just won a huge Scarlet and Violet tournament
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Regulation C metagame has been dominated by a specific balance core consisting of Palafin, Arcanine, Flutter Mane, and Amoonguss, but the new Portland Regionals champion had other plans for his team. Instead of using what’s been working in the format, Joseph Ugarte piloted a strong sun team with Kingambit, Torkoal, Flutter Mane, Great Tusk, Chien-Pao, and one very unlikely star—Jumpluff.
Unlike the Treasures of Ruin and Paradox Pokémon that have been so prevalent these days, Jumpluff is a Pokémon we’ve rarely seen at major Scarlet and Violet tournaments.
