Hello! My name is Ty and I make way too many spreadsheets. I've been recording data on my entire 2025 VGC Season. Now that we're at the end of the season, I wanted to share some insights about year, the teams I used, and what the finances looked like for those starting out 🧵

I happen to be at a restaurant and there happen to be a group of VGC players watching the stream with this on their screen. 💀

On the top end, Charizard-Y has earned 10.94% of the money with only 4.69% of the points for a +4.69 difference! VenuYard is certainly uh... performing well! At the bottom, we have Swampert-M and Sinistcha are -1.61%. The dual-weather team saved Arch and Peli though!

The graphic above is only representative of mons which have earned "dollars" in one of the three tours (top 16). The rest of them are below, sorted in order of points earned (Mawile-Mega being the highest earner that hasn't converted any cuts yet).

Data for your evening from M-B- I've been tracking online tours leading up to worlds as if they were regionals - but only ones large enough to mimic a real event (St. Jude's, VR2, GCFE). Explanation below ->

The data here is each mon's % of "money" earned minus the % of "points" earned. For example, across the three tours, Kingambit has earned 7.47% of the money and 7.56% of the points, for a net -0.09%, or basically zero. Gambit is performing ~evenly across the points earners.

you may not like it, but this is what peak VGC performance looks like (I ate 6 hotdogs and didn't play a single round and hung out with my dog all day)

Now that Lima/Melbourne are over, I can share my rankings for the top 100 (non restricted) SV mons! Thanks @HaloVGC for the graphic - data used to determine the ranking below;

To compile this, I've tracked every mon's earned CP and $ for every major of SV for the last 4 years. This generated a per-regulation ranking for each. The final placements are the avg of all regulations the mon was legal for, so Incineroar is judged by Reg F, but not by Reg C.

For those wondering, #101 was Hydreigon - better luck in Champions!
