There\u2019s no going back from here. So far, each new regulation in Scarlet and Violet has gradually added more Pok\u00e9mon into the mix, including the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon, Treasures of Ruin, transfer \u2018mons, and new releases from the DLC. Likewise, Regulation G will continue this trend, but it\u2019ll be bringing in some of the strongest Pok\u00e9mon around, completely changing the meta we\u2019ve grown accustomed to in Regulation F. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Regulation G in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet. What is Regulation G in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet VGC? Regulation G adds restricted Pok\u00e9mon to VGC, but you will be limited to one per team. In other words, a bunch of Legendary Pok\u00e9mon are either returning or making their VGC debuts. This excludes Mythical or event Pok\u00e9mon like Mew and Pecharunt. All other obtainable or transferrable Pok\u00e9mon in Scarlet and Violet are legal. The following restricted Pok\u00e9mon will be added to Scarlet and Violet VGC in Regulation G: Mewtwo Lugia Ho-Oh Kyogre Groudon Rayquaza Dialga Palkia Giratina Zekrom Reshiram Kyurem Cosmog Cosmoem Solgaleo Lunala Necrozma Zacian Zamazenta Eternatus Calyrex Koraidon Miraidon Terapagos The Gen IX Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Koraidon, Miraidon, and Terapagos, will finally make their debuts in competitive play, joining The Teal Mask\u2019s Ogerpon. If Ogerpon\u2019s dominant performance is any indication, the three other Gen IX Legendary \u2018mons should also be able to make a name for themselves in VGC. I\u2019m especially hopeful for Koraidon and Miraidon, with their ability to set up weather and terrain for their fellow Paradox Pok\u00e9mon. But Terapagos might surprise us with the underutilized Stellar Tera Type. It will also be interesting to see what will happen when the biggest threats from the past make their return. In particular, I\u2019m looking at broken Legendary Pok\u00e9mon like Calyrex\u2019s Shadow Rider and Ice Rider forms, in addition to Gen VIII\u2019s best dog, Zacian, who did receive an unfortunate nerf in Scarlet and Violet. I can also see Groudon being great with past Paradox Pok\u00e9mon like Flutter Mane because it can set the sun up to activate Protosynthesis. When does Regulation G start in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? Regulation G begins on May 1 and will run until Aug. 31. This means it will be the ruleset for one of the biggest international events, the North America International Championships (June 7 to 9). Given that Worlds typically takes place in August, Regulation G will likely be our final ruleset to round out the 2024 season.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Pokemon-Regulation-G.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183386"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1183386"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1183731,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183386\/revisions\/1183731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1183346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1183386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1183386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

There\u2019s no going back from here. So far, each new regulation in Scarlet and Violet has gradually added more Pok\u00e9mon into the mix, including the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon, Treasures of Ruin, transfer \u2018mons, and new releases from the DLC. Likewise, Regulation G will continue this trend, but it\u2019ll be bringing in some of the strongest Pok\u00e9mon around, completely changing the meta we\u2019ve grown accustomed to in Regulation F. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about Regulation G in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet. What is Regulation G in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet VGC? Regulation G adds restricted Pok\u00e9mon to VGC, but you will be limited to one per team. In other words, a bunch of Legendary Pok\u00e9mon are either returning or making their VGC debuts. This excludes Mythical or event Pok\u00e9mon like Mew and Pecharunt. All other obtainable or transferrable Pok\u00e9mon in Scarlet and Violet are legal. The following restricted Pok\u00e9mon will be added to Scarlet and Violet VGC in Regulation G: Mewtwo Lugia Ho-Oh Kyogre Groudon Rayquaza Dialga Palkia Giratina Zekrom Reshiram Kyurem Cosmog Cosmoem Solgaleo Lunala Necrozma Zacian Zamazenta Eternatus Calyrex Koraidon Miraidon Terapagos The Gen IX Legendary Pok\u00e9mon, Koraidon, Miraidon, and Terapagos, will finally make their debuts in competitive play, joining The Teal Mask\u2019s Ogerpon. If Ogerpon\u2019s dominant performance is any indication, the three other Gen IX Legendary \u2018mons should also be able to make a name for themselves in VGC. I\u2019m especially hopeful for Koraidon and Miraidon, with their ability to set up weather and terrain for their fellow Paradox Pok\u00e9mon. But Terapagos might surprise us with the underutilized Stellar Tera Type. It will also be interesting to see what will happen when the biggest threats from the past make their return. In particular, I\u2019m looking at broken Legendary Pok\u00e9mon like Calyrex\u2019s Shadow Rider and Ice Rider forms, in addition to Gen VIII\u2019s best dog, Zacian, who did receive an unfortunate nerf in Scarlet and Violet. I can also see Groudon being great with past Paradox Pok\u00e9mon like Flutter Mane because it can set the sun up to activate Protosynthesis. When does Regulation G start in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? Regulation G begins on May 1 and will run until Aug. 31. This means it will be the ruleset for one of the biggest international events, the North America International Championships (June 7 to 9). Given that Worlds typically takes place in August, Regulation G will likely be our final ruleset to round out the 2024 season.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Pokemon-Regulation-G.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183386"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2177"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1183386"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1183731,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1183386\/revisions\/1183731"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1183346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1183386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1183386"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1183386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
