Whoops! We said something wrong. At the start of Gen 7 VGC, we mentioned Latias functions as if "it always has a haban berry" due to Tapu Fini's misty terrain. This is not true because Latias has levitate so it doesn't receive 50% less damage from dragon attacks. Still, Tapu Fini does well vs. Incineroar who Latias doesn't like and Latias uses mostly Psychic moves and support moves. We apologize for this error!

DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.

For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.
