Calyrex-Ice Rider Trick Room Is Still Insane!
Heya, this is my first ever video, i'm a small content creator who is heavily heavily inspired by the goat WolfieGlick / @wolfeyvgc (hence maybe why some elements may be similar to his videos), I wish I could be as good as him some day!
In this video, I break down a Calyrex Ice Rider Trick Room team in VGC and test it on Pokémon Showdown to see how it performs in today’s competitive format.
Calyrex Ice Rider remains one of the strongest restricted Pokémon in VGC, with incredible bulk, devastating spread damage from Glacial Lance, and the snowball potential of Chilling Neigh. This team is built around enabling Trick Room, supporting Calyrex’s positioning, and maintaining pressure both inside and outside of Trick Room.
I go over the full team analysis, including:
Calyrex Ice Rider stat spread and moveset
Incineroar support synergy
Amoonguss redirection and Spore control
Urshifu Rapid Strike pressure outside of Trick Room
Flutter Mane speed control and special offense
Ogerpon Cornerstone coverage and defensive utility
After breaking down the team structure and roles, I take it into live VGC battles on Pokémon Showdown to test how well the strategy holds up against real opponents.
