V Road'26 Champion | MBlastoise-MDelphox

Hyungwoo Shin won Victory Road to San Francisco with this Mega Blastoise and Mega Delphox team, the last big Pokémon Champions Regulation M-B event before Worlds. Three Pokémon set up: Shell Smash on Blastoise, Nasty Plot on Delphox, Swords Dance on Kingambit. Double Fake Out from Incineroar and Sneasler plus Rage Powder from Sinistcha buy the turn, and whichever one you set up needs three knockouts to pay for it. You do not always need the setup move: Fake Out into Water Spout at full HP already does huge damage, and Kowtow Cleave hurts at +0. Quick Guard on Sneasler covers Delphox against Sucker Punch, its worst matchup. Delphox is Timid with 29 points in Speed, so 201, one point over the 200 bracket of Mega Gengar, Mega Raichu Y and Jolteon. Blastoise runs 14 points to outspeed Mega Aerodactyl after Shell Smash. Water Spout is 150 BP scaled to Blastoise's current HP, so Hospitality on switch in restores power, not just health. Spreads are a reconstruction, the OTS hides them.
