Top 16 teams from Players Cup II NA qualifier

For the 7th time in a row, Weakness Policy continues being the best pokemon in VGC for Series 7.

188 SpA Blacephalon Mind Blown vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Dynamax Abomasnow: 328-388 (83.2 - 98.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (328, 328, 336, 340, 340, 348, 352, 352, 360, 364, 364, 372, 376, 376, 384, 388) Clearly the best way to self proc weakness policy.

Lot of spread moves such as discharge having 30% secondary effects is either a curse as they are too risky for weakness policy procing or a blessing since they don't have to be dealt with.
