The Pokémon Europe International Championships (EUIC) are underway in London, and the Scarlet and Violet VGC meta is exactly what you’d expect, with the usual suspects at the top of the day-one usage chart.
The 12 most-used Pokémon at EUIC have been revealed by Play! Pokémon, filled with Starters, Paradox Pokémon, Legendary Pokémon, and a giraffe. The biggest threat sitting at the very top is Incineroar. With an impressive 43-percent usage rate, the Fire/Dark-type Starter has the perfect utility for VGC. Between its Intimidate ability and Parting Shot, Incineroar can constantly cycle in and out of the field to drop the opponent’s stats and get better positioning. Also, each time it enters the field, it can use Fake Out to flinch the opponent for that turn.
