I made Top Cut at the 2024 Pokémon VGC World Championships! Wish I could have taken it all, but I’m so happy to prove I can play well on the Worlds stage, especially with Regidrago. Thanks to everyone who has helped or supported me along the way!

NA VGC Masters Leaderboard is live! Follow along during NAIC to see how the Worlds race is shaping up. There are two ways you can. First up is a dashboard I created. Link in the second post.
I used FAKEPG at an event months before it was popular in 2017 and started 4-0 but misclicked by attacking my own mon on stream then tilted into obscurity
share a piece of pokémon lore about yourself
me doing 1000 battles just to get enough VP to make my amoonguss relaxed

My budget this season was like $500 on non-refundable entry fees to secure a spot and then deciding not to attend
All the Pokémon I got points with this season 🫣 (I told y’all I’m locking in next year) Shoutout @VelocityVGC I took your LA paste and got 2nd at a local challenge at the very beginning of this season last july, regidrago rocks!!
Chance and grant always have the best archetype of team no matter the format🥰
I’ve missed worlds twice by ~20 points. It sucked, but I let it fuel me to top cut the next worlds I attended. If you find yourself falling short, take it in and come back stronger next time.
I finished 2nd at the 2025 Pokémon Trainers Cup! I used a team based on strategies from @cona_5757 and @HupuMetapod. Thanks for the tactics! Huge thanks to @VelocityVGC and @deppupoke for lending me some Pokémon so I could participate in the tournament. See you in Anaheim!
I was the highest placing regidrago player at VGC worlds last year in Honolulu. Thanks @EvanPavelski for winning in TCG so that I can have this as a souvenir! Regidrago came upside down, which I guess makes this more unique 🙃

SoCal is unequivocally the best region right now, by a good margin
SoCal dodging team kills in r9 and r10 while making up 20% of the Day 2 players is huge. What a turnout for our region 🥳🥳🥳
