1) When I still followed the type-chart (Reg E) 2) Travelling teamsheet - Cups t4 + t8*2 in Reg F 1.0 by @KaguyaFalls @PockySDs and myself 3) Redemption after missing the invite in 2024 4) Endpoint of my playstyle in the SV era (ty all of my teambuilding partners)
With champions coming soon I wanted to look back on my favourite Scarlet/Violet VGC teams, would love to see other people's too! These are from both Bo1 and Bo3, just the 4 I had the most fun using

TL;DR if you're interested in helping me out with streaming random VGC teams on Champions, submit your teams (as many as you like) here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… Teams will be randomly selected if there are a large amount of submissions to enable everyone! RTs appreciated! (6/6)

Ever put together a team of 6 on Pokémon Champions and thought to yourself "damn I might have COOKED but not sure" or even saw a team of 6 that looked interesting/strong to you, but may not have understood its strengths? Let me help you there with a new Streaming initiative (1/?)

I might've found the best trick room team in the format. I might be the best to ever do it. My 0-8 worlds result speaks for itself

Pokemon bots are all anyone is talking about in the last week. Fun fact: I studied chess bots as part of my CS PhD program. So in today's video, I explain the details of these bots work and how I expect them to change VGC moving forward. The link is below! Check it out 👇👇

Cornell failed Jane Doe, just like many other Jane Doe’s have been failed by our broken systems. Amplify the voices of those who are speaking up and keep your ears open to truths that consistently get silenced.

worlds.pokemon.com/en-us/abo… I understand the difference between TPC and TPCi invite and registration systems. However, I-SHANG (name used in 2026) / I-HSIANG (used in 2025) CHANG is highly suspicious of using a glitch to register on RK9 for WCS26 VGC.
Now that Worlds is coming to an end, I would like to bring up a serious issue that was discovered during the event: One of the players registered under the Taiwan region by the name of I-SHANG CHANG is NOT a qualifier for Worlds in any circuit. (1/7)

WCS2026- A very rough start and luckily managed to crawl back to 5-3 and sneaked into T128. Reg M-B is awful. I broke down when I was eliminated, and I think I was mentally overstressed but underprepared for my team. I am still very far from my goal. Wish 2027 will be better.
