I have finally published my team report from Frankfurt Regional. The report is currently a 29-page PDF that covers the team-building process, match-ups, general gameplan, calcs, tournament recap, and more! Sorry for the wait! ko-fi.com/s/dc1ac2d07f

Moon Series from USUM. Sleep Powder spam, Lunala Smeargle mirror and the most toxic pokémon of all time aka Shedinja. Also Series 8 from SwSh era.
VGC players, whats the worst vgc metagame/gen of all time? and can you also say why. Im trying to historymaxxx and compare miserable metagames of singles (that ive experienced) to doubles and see the parallels i can find, if any 🥼

I made a Team Report for the Sceptile team I used to achieve top100 in the previous ranked season. The report is free for everyone but tips are always appreciated! ko-fi.com/s/a8f4e7f282

Making a Sceptile Team Report to publish on my Ko-Fi. It'll be much less shorter than the Delphox one but it'll be free for everyone!

I love Sceptile, it's one of my favourite Pokémon, Treecko was my first starter ever and I loved Grovyle in Mystery Dungeon. But Mega Sceptile is so unbearable awful in VGC to the point that playing it feels like a self-induced torture.

This PHP stuff is so depressing because there's gonna be 15 Years worth of old sites that are going to become lost media now.

There is no ethical or unethical moveset on a Pokémon. If it exists and it wins then there's no reason to not use it. If you find something "boring" that's on you, and it's your perception.

Safety Goggles won't solve the Sleep Powder problem. What you can do with them in this meta you can already do it with Lum Berry Incineroar. The reason why isn't played it's because it's suboptimal. Safety Goggles were amazing because Amoonguss was there in the first place

I said "Sleep Powder" problem but I'm mainly referring to Venusaur, as the community often does

Regional Semifinalist! I decided to run back my worlds team because i was tired of facing weather and i felt this was still probably the best Tyranitar team Could have played better my stream matches but if anything that shows i still have lots to improve (team paste below)

Up. Yes, Dragalge was a bait (I thought it was kinda obvious sorry). Yes, Raichu-X is still in Honorable Mentions even after winning Nice. It's was the right Pokémon at the right time. Though I think it's better than every Mon in that row
Feel like Golisopod and Garchomp could be considered as solid pick more than powerhouse but I don't think they're worse then Delphox and Gengar by any means. Tier is ordered only for the first three rows

Nice Regional 2026 - Day 2 and Top 128. The first Day 2 of my career. Despite that, winning makes you want to win more, so I’m not satisfied with how my Day 2 run went. I’ll try to prove to myself that I can aim for bigger stages despite the dedication I put into my med-career.
