Tons of powerful Pokémon added to Scarlet and Violet VGC with huge regulation change

As of July 1, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s VGC ruleset has officially switched over from Regulation C to Regulation D—and the whole meta is about to change.

Previously with Regulations A, B, and C, players were limited to only using Pokémon originally found in the Gen IX titles for competitive VGC battles. Rather than competing with over 1,000 different species, the pool of legal Pokémon was narrowed down to less than 400, which is how weaker Pokémon like Murkrow were able to thrive in the cutthroat VGC environment for a time.
