How VantageVGC Handles Current and Legacy Formats
Use current-format data first while keeping historical material clearly labeled and useful.
Why this matters
VantageVGC separates current-format scouting from historical context. Old formats can teach principles, but they should not masquerade as current evidence.
A practical approach
Use this as a focused testing loop. The goal is to make one part of your decision process clearer before adding more complexity.
- Start with current Meta and Tournaments pages.
- Use legacy guides for principles and comparisons.
- Check format labels before importing a team or benchmark.
Example to test
A positioning concept from a past regulation may still be useful even when its exact Pokemon and damage ranges no longer apply.
