VGC19 Ultra Series – Sample Teams

This is a list of sample teams that new players can use to help them get straight into playing the VGC19 Ultra Series format.

We believe these teams are a great starting point for any player getting into VGC, or needing ideas for a team! We encourage you to use these teams as a guide for making your very own team, however, this list is far from comprehensive, so don’t let it stifle your own creativity!

Please note, that although teams here may be inspired by top players that unless stated otherwise they are not the exact spreads used by them and are instead reconstructions. Their names are credited for obtaining notable success with an archetype or having developed it significantly. If we have missed someone out, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
