What a whirlwind week! I came into this competition with very limited preparation as a result of long work hours. I’m happy I was able to identify Regieleki, Lando-I, and Calyrex Ice Rider as a potent core that works and adapts well in such a volatile format. Overall it was a blast working on this team and several adaptations of it over the last few months with @BaarsKaasVGC and @JamesWBaek! Thanks to Team Canada for all the support this weekend as well as @MattieMooVGC and the amazing people I met from the Irish VGC community. Also big shoutouts to @TheKingVillager @vgccorner @JoeUX9, @Izzy22x1, @slushi2k, and @PqlarBear for their support during the tournament! It was wonderful meeting people and friends from all around the world, I hope you enjoyed the tournament and Honolulu and I wish everyone safe travels home! 😊
Finished 13th at worlds. Feels amazing to be 2/2 on world’s top cuts and to prove that last time wasn’t simply luck. Regulation MB was atrocious, I was really unmotivated to play worlds but this team made it somewhat ok (as long as the moves don’t miss). Made several revisions to get to this version. If I could have changed one thing it probably would have been this Whimsicott spread being more special defensively oriented to survive Charizard Weather Ball with Occa Berry. Big shoutouts to @slushi2k, @JamesWBaek, and @vgccorner for input on the team and matchup practice on such short notice leading up to the event. And of course a big thank you to everyone else who offered their kind words and support this weekend, it truly means a lot!

NPA Champion!🏆(and MVP)
I missed out on Worlds, this ended up being the perfect way to wrap up an incredible year. It was a pleasure to compete alongside such an amazing team and play against great players.
Huge thanks Howkings, @TeKaVGC, @IsAStarter and everyone on the Blades!
Just ripped a side parting shot from Grimm into CC from Contrary Mega Staraptor. This is going to be fun 🙂
T8 at LA regionals. Content with the team I brought and the overall run. Had amazing sets against great players and friends in the schedule. Happy to close out S/V with a decent performance. Shoutouts to @Clipperz1235 and @MattieMooVGC for help with the team and prep!

Honestly I don't understand why people are hating on the game so much...
I'm having such a good time, I feel blessed that we were given the opportunity to play this game. It feels like the new era of VGC is being ushered in with grand fanfare.
THE HATERS WERE PROVEN WRONG!!!🙏💯
9-3 for a 41st finish at Seattle. Lost a set to Flutter Mane Thunder Wave shenanigans being in a completely winning position and played a set poorly double missing Bleakwind and Sandsear along the way for good measure. Lost in D2 in a close but pretty solid set overall so no complaints about that.
It’s another middling performance this season after back to back 24th places and a horrendous EUIC there’s a lot of things to improve across the board. I haven’t felt consistent enough to earn a deeper run which is frustrating. Hopefully things go better at LA.
This also ends my Regulation F thankfully. I’ll drop the teams I’ve worked on below if you’d like to use them for Houston.

EUIC: pokepast.es/0fbc1b19a712e6e4
The specs flutter here is slower than Jolly Dozo. I adjusted that and went with some changes for EUIC so I would at the very least run 148/156 timid on the Flutter if you decide to run this team. The Cresselia and Ursaluna spreads as well the Incineroar are also just up to personal preference and how you choose to play the 6. I found having at least 140 speed Urshifu on this team to be quite strong it functions well with both of the speed control options. I also think Physically defensive Amoonguss is the best option in terms of complimenting the AV Incineroar and the rest of the mons. The team can be as fast or slow/bulky as you need it to be, playing with Icy Wind and TR respectively.
Seattle: pokepast.es/4df2cc03aa7d83cf
This team is pretty fast paced,it uses the pressure Jolly Band Single Strike Urshifu applies in conjunction with Iron Crown and Landorus to pin annoying Tera Fairy options. The trio generally works well together although sometimes missing attacks can be dicey. Rain Dance over Icy Wind is an option worth exploring. Helping Hand + Tera Dark Wicked Blow has some really fun Calcs. I think this type of team was well positioned going into Seattle unfortunately didn’t hit many mirrors and didn’t play any hard trick room 😅
24th at Toronto. Back to back 24th place finishes at regionals is a bit disappointing. For this event I felt like I could have played a little better in my losses, the team was a lot of fun to build and run with @Clipperz1235. Hope I can perform better at EUIC.
24th at Las Vegas Regionals. I thought I played well overall but lost the win and in to a bad match up. I could have closed out my other losses a lot better and there was room for improvement across the board. Still lots to work on but for my only in person Reg H event, this finish was ok. Covert Cloak Blursa and Sneasler were the MVPs but I’m glad to be done with Reg H.
Can’t wait to slog through Reg F next at Toronto 🙃

Hello friends. Sorry to damper your timelines, but I need your help, and my community needs your help.
Wrapped up WCOP with Canada this year with a 4-1 record. Losing in Semis stings but I’m so proud of how far the team has come in the last 3 years. A Finals, T16, and Semis while navigating the roster turnover has been very encouraging to witness. Big shout-outs to the gamers on Team Canada and of course the same rotation of mons for putting in the work for 5 weeks 😅
I wish the best of luck to the remaining teams as well!
