I at least understand why they did it this time.
They probably intended to have the Home mons be legal all along, but didn't want to spoil that they were coming.

they're changing the rules literally every month as the new GMaxes get added.

It's being overhyped a bit, Intimidate+Fake Out is nowhere near as good anymore (as shown by Scrafty and Hitmontop not being too common) and Arcanine will still have a place because most people are already using fast sets.

Also if they are willing to drop galar dex only rule, I wonder what their plans are for the first DLC? It would be kinda fucked to completely change the meta 2 months before worlds.

unlike these, incineroar doesnt get ohkod by togekiss max airstream, and it gets parting shot too, it can just parting shot against togekiss

Yeah and I wish they wouldn't. One of the things I used to like about VGC was you didn't necessarily have to keep up with the metagame the entire year. You could make a team in the fall, and for the most part use it for a year casually. Yeah there might be trends where usage changes, but there were never any "X is now a threat you must change your team" scenarios. I have enough other games to play that I don't want to have to spend time changing up and practicing with a new team once a month.

twittards are idiots who do not know how Incineroar functions. They think he's "overpowered" when he isn't.

But it's not bad either. Fake Out can still stop things like Whimsicott or other obvious setups that you know aren't going to Dynamax.

Incineroar has a better typing than Scrafty and shitmontop though. Also a more reliable snarl user as well. Not saying Arcanine won't be used but Incineroar could definitely be viable.

What do they mean when they say "provided they have the Galar symbol"?
Can you not use Pokemon directly from home?

No, they moved to VGC legal pokémon needing the regional mark to enter competitions in Gen VI. You need to have the Galar gym symbol for any you want to take into comp.

Will Sirfetch'd be more used now that Incineroar is making a return? Scrappy makes him immune to Intimidate, he's faster and has 50% crit rate with Leek in hold.

I guess it makes it a bit more viable but I wouldn't expect it to be more common.

Its starting to be common now so I'd expect more of it in the future.

>>42753532
isn't it much more fun when the meta shifts and you dont have to fight the same crap over and over, like now they could even make some G-Max moves that in some way nerf the mons that are currently op, like make a G-Max moves that prevent critical hits so something like crit togekiss is not so annoying.

I expect a lot of new gmax moves to have built in effects of underused moves, like orbeetle's gravitas. If at least one doesn't use Lucky Chant I'll be very surprised.

Since the inception of origin marks with the Kalos Mark, it’s always been such that you can only use Pokémon generated within the current generation in competitive/ranked
So you have to have this galar league mark, which means you have to breed a new copy of it in SwSh if it has a different mark

There's plenty of reasons to still use Arcanine more than Incineroar.

I personally really enjoy it, just as things start to get a bit more homogenized, some of the new additions should shake things up a reasonable amount.

Venusaur, and Incineroar will definitely impact the meta, and Primarina and Blastoise could be good.
