What is Regulation E in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet VGC? Regulation E will once again expand the meta by adding the Pok\u00e9mon from The Teal Mask, Part I of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. This includes new Pok\u00e9mon like Poltchageist and Dipplin as well as returning ones like Mamoswine and Snorlax. The tricky part is that we won\u2019t know exactly how the meta will look until The Teal Mask is released on Sept. 13. Related All new Paradox Pok\u00e9mon in the Scarlet and Violet DLC Once we have info on all the new Pok\u00e9mon, moves, and abilities introduced through the first part of the DLC, we\u2019ll have a better idea of what the Reg E meta will entail. When does Regulation E start in Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet? Regulation E will begin on Oct. 1 and run until Jan. 2. This will cover eight regional tournaments across North America, Europe, and Oceania, as well as the Latin America International Championships.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Pokemon-Regulation-E-Snorlax-Milotic-Vikavolt.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950394"}],"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=950394"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":961036,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/950394\/revisions\/961036"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/950396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=950394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=950394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=950394"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=950394"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=950394"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=950394"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=950394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
