Based on the teams from Orlando Regionals earlier this month, Flutter Mane, Iron Bundle, and Iron Hands were the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon many players would be relying on at Oceania. In fact, these three Paradox Pok\u00e9mon were the most used Pok\u00e9mon for Day One of the tournament. However, as the tournament reached its final stages, we were seeing less Flutter Mane and Iron Hands and more Dragonite and Arcanine (and even Roaring Moon). As expected, Iron Bundle stayed one of the strongest and most consistent Pok\u00e9mon in the meta. Iron Bundle All of the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon are arguably strong, but Iron Bundle is on a different level when it comes to VGC. With an incredible Speed stat of 136, Iron Bundle can outspeed the fastest Flutter Mane by just one point. Its Special Attack is also deadly when combined with STAB Hydro Pump or Freeze-Dry. This Water and Ice-type offense is perfect against many common Pok\u00e9mon like Arcanine, Dragonite, Roaring Moon, and Talonflame. Iron Bundle was the second-most used Pok\u00e9mon on Day One of Oceania, and it snagged the top spot away from Flutter Mane on Day Two. Given its dominant performance in the past two championships, it doesn\u2019t seem like the little penguin is slowing down anytime soon. Dragonite Most of Dragonite\u2019s viability comes from one specific move\u2014Extreme Speed. Dragonite is one of three Pok\u00e9mon in Scarlet and Violet to get access to Extreme Speed, making it a valuable asset on a VGC team. The Normal-type move is so highly valued on Dragonite\u2019s moveset because it has +2 priority, meaning the user will move first, in most cases. And on top of having priority, Extreme Speed also comes with an impressive base power of 80. Many players will opt to make their Dragonite have a Normal Tera Type specifically to boost the power of Extreme Speed. Combine the Normal Tera Type with a Choice Band, and Dragonite will be doing so much damage on any Pok\u00e9mon that doesn\u2019t resist Normal-type attacks. Dragonite\u2019s unique Ability, Multiscale, will also help keep it alive a little longer so it can continue to get knockouts. Dragonite didn\u2019t get a chance to shine in the Oceania finals matches, but it was part of Gavin Michael\u2019s winning team alongside Palafin and Baxcalibur. Arcanine Another rare Extreme Speed user, Arcanine, also had a successful run throughout Oceania. Aside from Extreme Speed, the fire dog can do so much for its team. Its Ability, Intimidate, can be cycled in and out throughout the battle to constantly lower the Attack of both Pok\u00e9mon on the other side of the field. Many Arcanine will run Will-O-Wisp to further reduce the damage of physical attackers while leaving them with a burn. If the opposing side has Special attackers like Flutter Mane or Gholdengo, Arcanine\u2019s Snarl is a great way to lower their Special Attack stat every turn. While Arcanine is a great Pok\u00e9mon for severely weakening the other side of the field, they can be built for physical offense too. With enough investment in its Attack stat, Arcanine can deal a lot of damage with Flare Blitz and take down Pok\u00e9mon like Amoonguss, Gholdengo, and Kingambit.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/01140505\/Iron-Bundle.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803006"}],"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=803006"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":803009,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803006\/revisions\/803009"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=803006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=803006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Based on the teams from Orlando Regionals earlier this month, Flutter Mane, Iron Bundle, and Iron Hands were the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon many players would be relying on at Oceania. In fact, these three Paradox Pok\u00e9mon were the most used Pok\u00e9mon for Day One of the tournament. However, as the tournament reached its final stages, we were seeing less Flutter Mane and Iron Hands and more Dragonite and Arcanine (and even Roaring Moon). As expected, Iron Bundle stayed one of the strongest and most consistent Pok\u00e9mon in the meta. Iron Bundle All of the Paradox Pok\u00e9mon are arguably strong, but Iron Bundle is on a different level when it comes to VGC. With an incredible Speed stat of 136, Iron Bundle can outspeed the fastest Flutter Mane by just one point. Its Special Attack is also deadly when combined with STAB Hydro Pump or Freeze-Dry. This Water and Ice-type offense is perfect against many common Pok\u00e9mon like Arcanine, Dragonite, Roaring Moon, and Talonflame. Iron Bundle was the second-most used Pok\u00e9mon on Day One of Oceania, and it snagged the top spot away from Flutter Mane on Day Two. Given its dominant performance in the past two championships, it doesn\u2019t seem like the little penguin is slowing down anytime soon. Dragonite Most of Dragonite\u2019s viability comes from one specific move\u2014Extreme Speed. Dragonite is one of three Pok\u00e9mon in Scarlet and Violet to get access to Extreme Speed, making it a valuable asset on a VGC team. The Normal-type move is so highly valued on Dragonite\u2019s moveset because it has +2 priority, meaning the user will move first, in most cases. And on top of having priority, Extreme Speed also comes with an impressive base power of 80. Many players will opt to make their Dragonite have a Normal Tera Type specifically to boost the power of Extreme Speed. Combine the Normal Tera Type with a Choice Band, and Dragonite will be doing so much damage on any Pok\u00e9mon that doesn\u2019t resist Normal-type attacks. Dragonite\u2019s unique Ability, Multiscale, will also help keep it alive a little longer so it can continue to get knockouts. Dragonite didn\u2019t get a chance to shine in the Oceania finals matches, but it was part of Gavin Michael\u2019s winning team alongside Palafin and Baxcalibur. Arcanine Another rare Extreme Speed user, Arcanine, also had a successful run throughout Oceania. Aside from Extreme Speed, the fire dog can do so much for its team. Its Ability, Intimidate, can be cycled in and out throughout the battle to constantly lower the Attack of both Pok\u00e9mon on the other side of the field. Many Arcanine will run Will-O-Wisp to further reduce the damage of physical attackers while leaving them with a burn. If the opposing side has Special attackers like Flutter Mane or Gholdengo, Arcanine\u2019s Snarl is a great way to lower their Special Attack stat every turn. While Arcanine is a great Pok\u00e9mon for severely weakening the other side of the field, they can be built for physical offense too. With enough investment in its Attack stat, Arcanine can deal a lot of damage with Flare Blitz and take down Pok\u00e9mon like Amoonguss, Gholdengo, and Kingambit.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/01140505\/Iron-Bundle.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803006"}],"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=803006"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803006\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":803009,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/803006\/revisions\/803009"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/788930"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=803006"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=803006"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=803006"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
