The Pokemon Company recently announced a major change coming to VGC series eight.
Outside the addition of restricted Pokemon, all other team building rules will remain the same.
Restricted Pokemon consist of every Legendary Pokemon that has previously appeared in a major entry in the series.
Historically, teams have been able to use two restricted Pokemon on a team when restricted Pokemon are allowed.
Pairings that have won world championships in the past, like Kyogre and Rayquaza, will remain illegal.
It’s likely restricted Pokemon were limited to one per teamdue to the addition of Dynamax.
All restricted Pokemon will be able to Dynamax, aside from Zacian and Zamazenta.
These two types of Pokemon are similar, but there are some key differences.
Although Mythical Pokemon are technically Legendary, they cannot be found in-game.
Here’s a look at every restricted Legendary Pokemon that will soon be legal in VGC.
In addition to the Pokemon listed above, fusion Pokemon will also be legal in VGC.
All four of these fusion Pokemon are expected to be some of the strongest coming to VGC series eight.
The most significant restricted Pokemon that will soon be legal seems to be be Zacian.
The Warrior Pokemon may not have theability to Dynmax, but that won’t matter much.
Zacian boasts a ridiculous 148 Speed and 170 Attack stat when equipped with the Rusted Sword.
