Sorry for the delay but #PokeminNAIC comes to a close and Federico Camporesi is your new international champion! Such an incredible weekend with a stacked lineup. I recommend taking a look at the full top cut for all the unique appearances

As for the day 2 restricted usage, Calyrex Shadow Rider has caught up to Miraidon, but Groudon remains nowhere to be seen

We're back with day 2 usage of #PokemonNAIC! Chien-Pao has shot up to second place! Urshifu has hit its lowest usage in quite a while, and Smeargle manages to creep into the top 12.

We also have the day 1 usage from restricted's where Koraidon remains at the top, but there's definitely been a drop in Lunala usage since the start

We're back at #PokemonNAIC with day one usage! Grimmsnarl, Chi-Yu, Whimsicott, and Volcarona have really picked usage since reg G while Incineroar remains the king.

Apologies for any delays or errors this week and next week. We're in the middle of moving and the computer is already packed away so I'm limited on what I can do the next few days

Quite change to the Utrecht url after reuploading to deal with a bug

Thanks for catching that! Should have a fix soon

Shockingly there were more Miraidon than Incineroar this weekend! Along with Iron Hands in the top 12, there is a clear dominant threat in the early meta and it will be interesting to see how players adjust. Ursaluna is popular but doesn't seem to be having as much impact as desired

Next tournament for this weekend is Utrecht where Michael Kelsch claims yet another victory! An incredible performance with a surprise appearance from Landourus. We also so some other unique picks in top 8 like Ursaluna Bloodmoon, Sneasler, Roaring Moon and Entei.

I've also got the top 16 from Melbourne to account for including restricteds. Miraidon is almost rivaling Incineroar! Ursaluna is also seeing high usage but only managed one spot in the top 8

There was a lot of tournaments this weekend! First to finish was Melbourne where Masayoshi Kuroo claimed the victory with a G-Weezing team! We also got a surprise appearances with Annihilape. This is one of the largest tournaments from Australia yet, so go check it out!

And here's the Utrecht day 1 for non-restricted. Ursaluna has been an amazing partner for Miraidon, and Grimmsnarl's screens support has been invaluable. Chien-pao has also seen a slight incline alongside Zamazenta.

We've got the day 1 stats from Utrecht! Lunala and Ho-Oh see a massive surge in usage while Miraidon becomes the dominant force in regulation I

The first regional of regulation I has come to a close in Milwaukee and 🇺🇸 Andrew Ding is your new champion! The early meta in a new regulation is always exciting, and Lunala + Miraidon appears to be a very scary combo. Make sure to check out the results!

We also have the top 12 non-restricted from day 1 at Milwaukee! Chi-Yu is seeing a resurgence and our 2 tailwind setters are side-by-side. Flutter Mane has also seen an uptick since reg G!

We have some of the first usage stats of regulation I in Milwaukee! Not too surprising to see Calyrex-S and Zamazenta on top, but Miraidon and Calyrex-I is an interesting duo. We'll see tomorrow how these duo's work out!

With over 120 tournaments already played in Regulation I, lets take a look at what's been popular! Koraidon and Lunala have been a sunny surprise, while Zamazenta and Calyrex-S have been a very consistent duo. Zacian has also had a small resurgence so we'll see if it lasts.

Seville has wrapped up and 🇪🇸 Iker Rodrigo is your new champion! What an incredible weekend and... why is there an Eternatus in 3rd!? Congratulations to all players! We also have the top 12 in usage where Raging Bolt and Amoonguss had surprisingly poor performances

The Monterrey regional was this last weekend and Riley Factura had an incredible run with Iron Crown! We also had a bunch of unique Pokemon in top 8 including Tinkaton and Iron Boulder. Congratulations to all players this weekend!

Second, and most important. We're expecting our first little one! The only sad news is I'll miss worlds due to her due date. We're at a slow point for VGC so I don't feel too bad letting the site coast for a bit, but I hope to focus more on updates to the site prior to any big VGC changes

Hey everyone, there hasn't been many updates to the site the last few months due to IRL events, and just wanted to give a quick update as to what's going on. Thankfully it's all good news! We just finalized purchasing our first home which has been a hectic amount of paperwork, but it's done.

What an incredible finals! 🇩🇪 Michael Kelsch is your new 2025 Stockholm Regional Champion! People say Europe can't cook, but this tournament had some incredible diversity! Congratulations to all players #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC

Day 2 of Stockholm has some interesting new developments! A significant rise in Indeedee-F, Clefairy, and Smeargle, who are all often paired with the Calyrex's. Notably Ogerpon Hearthflame has vanished from the chart
