Pokemon Champions Needs This Item Back, And It Needs It Now

GameRant argues Pokemon Champions launched without Covert Cloak, making Fake Out and other flinch tactics too strong in the current item-limited meta.

The piece says adding Covert Cloak now would curb flinch and secondary-effect disruption, creating healthier competitive balance.

It also argues the item would help diversify strategies as more Pokemon, items, and Mega Evolutions join the game.

The article frames Covert Cloak as a simple fix for a less toxic, more stable VGC-style environment.
