While it was no surprise to see the popular Fire\/Water\/Grass core in Incineroar, Urshifu, and Rillaboom used by top players, there were also 15 Pok\u00e9mon that only made a single appearance across the top teams. If you're someone who doesn't like seeing the same lineups dominating the meta, NAIC was an absolute treat to watch. To be fair, some of these Pok\u00e9mon are popular and proven meta threats, like Flutter Mane, Farigiraf, Calyrex, and Miraidon. But the fact that they weren\u2019t copied and pasted across the top eight shows we\u2019ve reached a point in the Scarlet and Violet meta where there\u2019s room for lesser-used Pok\u00e9mon to shine with some creativity. For example, it\u2019s wild but also refreshing to see the likes of Iron Jugulis, Scream Tail, Volcarona, Wo-Chien, and Overqwil make it so far in the competition. Looking at NAIC data provided by Nimbasa City Post, those 15 \u2018mons were: Ditto Farigiraf Flutter Mane Iron Jugulis Landorus Incarnate Overqwil Pelipper Scream Tail Smeargle Tornadus Incarnate Volcarona Whimsicott Wo-Chien Shadow Rider Calyrex Miraidon There was also only one Pelipper in the top eight teams, and it ended up playing a huge role in the deciding game three finals between Patrick Connors and Aur\u00e9lien Soula. In fact, you could argue it was the MVP of Connors\u2019 winning NAIC team. In game three, Connors sealed the deal by sending Pelipper out against Soula\u2019s Terapagos. The VGC community called this \u201cone of the greatest anime moments of all time\u201d because the bird essentially turned Soula\u2019s restricted Legendary Pok\u00e9mon into a sitting duck. Soula had just committed their Tera to Terapagos and locked the turtle into Tera Starstorm with the Choice Specs, and Pelipper was the perfect counter with Wide Guard to block spread moves. This forced Soula to either swap out Terapagos or leave it in without dealing any damage due to Pelipper\u2019s Wide Guard. With no way out for Soula, Connors won the match and became the new NAIC champion. Pelipper is by no means an off-meta pick as the 12th most-used Pok\u00e9mon on day one, but it was awesome to watch Connors\u2019 Pelipper thrive as the last of its kind still going strong into the top eight. It can even say it beat out fellow rain setter Kyogre, who appeared in two top eight teams. And after that amazing final performance, I\u2019m hoping we get the NAIC champ\u2019s Shiny Pelipper as the Mystery Gift during Worlds in August. Dot Esports was at NAIC to catch all the action with travel provided by The Pok\u00e9mon Company.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pokemon-Pelipper-Iron-Jugulis-Volcarona-Scream-Tail.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1256730"}],"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=1256730"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1256730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1256745,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1256730\/revisions\/1256745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1256733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1256730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1256730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

While it was no surprise to see the popular Fire\/Water\/Grass core in Incineroar, Urshifu, and Rillaboom used by top players, there were also 15 Pok\u00e9mon that only made a single appearance across the top teams. If you're someone who doesn't like seeing the same lineups dominating the meta, NAIC was an absolute treat to watch. To be fair, some of these Pok\u00e9mon are popular and proven meta threats, like Flutter Mane, Farigiraf, Calyrex, and Miraidon. But the fact that they weren\u2019t copied and pasted across the top eight shows we\u2019ve reached a point in the Scarlet and Violet meta where there\u2019s room for lesser-used Pok\u00e9mon to shine with some creativity. For example, it\u2019s wild but also refreshing to see the likes of Iron Jugulis, Scream Tail, Volcarona, Wo-Chien, and Overqwil make it so far in the competition. Looking at NAIC data provided by Nimbasa City Post, those 15 \u2018mons were: Ditto Farigiraf Flutter Mane Iron Jugulis Landorus Incarnate Overqwil Pelipper Scream Tail Smeargle Tornadus Incarnate Volcarona Whimsicott Wo-Chien Shadow Rider Calyrex Miraidon There was also only one Pelipper in the top eight teams, and it ended up playing a huge role in the deciding game three finals between Patrick Connors and Aur\u00e9lien Soula. In fact, you could argue it was the MVP of Connors\u2019 winning NAIC team. In game three, Connors sealed the deal by sending Pelipper out against Soula\u2019s Terapagos. The VGC community called this \u201cone of the greatest anime moments of all time\u201d because the bird essentially turned Soula\u2019s restricted Legendary Pok\u00e9mon into a sitting duck. Soula had just committed their Tera to Terapagos and locked the turtle into Tera Starstorm with the Choice Specs, and Pelipper was the perfect counter with Wide Guard to block spread moves. This forced Soula to either swap out Terapagos or leave it in without dealing any damage due to Pelipper\u2019s Wide Guard. With no way out for Soula, Connors won the match and became the new NAIC champion. Pelipper is by no means an off-meta pick as the 12th most-used Pok\u00e9mon on day one, but it was awesome to watch Connors\u2019 Pelipper thrive as the last of its kind still going strong into the top eight. It can even say it beat out fellow rain setter Kyogre, who appeared in two top eight teams. And after that amazing final performance, I\u2019m hoping we get the NAIC champ\u2019s Shiny Pelipper as the Mystery Gift during Worlds in August. Dot Esports was at NAIC to catch all the action with travel provided by The Pok\u00e9mon Company.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pokemon-Pelipper-Iron-Jugulis-Volcarona-Scream-Tail.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1256730"}],"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=1256730"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1256730\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1256745,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1256730\/revisions\/1256745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1256733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1256730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1256730"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1256730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
