I'm currently in the top 200 in VGC 17 on showdown, though my position fluctuates. Maroak-aloan is honestly one of the best Pokemon there is, along with tapu koko. The two of these just shred through whatever if you slap on a water type.

Trick room with oranguru is also frightening.

Tapu Fini is currently popular as hell so it's time to put aside my rain team until the fad dies like Torkpal + Liligant. The issue with Tapu Fini + Kartana + Intimidate User (Usually Arcanine) is that it is really hard to break. Arcanine and Fini both have a nasty habit of walling everything.

Tl;Dr I'm slightly annoyed I lost me 1700 Showdown rating in VGC because my team really can't deal with every other team being a variant of the above.

As off now it's either specs as a bulky offensive wall mutant, else it's leftovers CM (usually with Sub) or sitrus with some array of support moves.

This gives a good impression of what Pokemon will carry which set, though not all of them are that great.

Sablenite is so much worse compared to last gen so I hope not, the new fairies and tapu fini especially aren't appreciated by him.

So anyone that follows competitive Pokémon, I'll likely be at the London continental championships in November.

I'm currently 100 championship points away from qualifying for the Worlds Championships, got a regional tournament in Leipzig next weekend. Just need to get top 16... out of 800. If I manage that I'll have also won enough money to afford the flight to worlds though, so here goes nothing :p

On that note, if anyone wants any near perfect breedjects of Kangaskan, Charmander, or Aegislash I have a bunch.

And for those interested, my team: http://pokepast.es/53d3882a96a8d8ef

I came 8th in the largest Pokémon regional tournament held in Europe to date. Lost due to some unfortunate misses though, ah well. Made it to stream.

I'll leave it up to you lot to figure out who Willem Geurts is heh.

There will be an article detailing my run within like a week or two. Regardless, my team consisted of Xerneas, Groudon, Tapu Fini, Incineroar, Amoongus, Talonflame

That was last circuit alas, I just missed that bar but I'm off to a brilliant start this year round. Thanks!
In post 502, SleepyKrew wrote:How long did it take you to breed/train your team?
I prefer to obtain my teams legitimately and that takes about 2-4 hours per Pokemon if starting from absolute scratch, but once you've got some breeded mons you can swiftly get more in like 30 mins. This tournament I didn't have a lot of time prior to it however, so I had somebody gen my team for me.

If you enjoy being in the moral grey zone the Pelago Glitch on Sun/Moon saves a lot of time.

The EUIC had more players than it has in a long time with European attendance being at an all-time high right now. I would say the current format is as popular as ever but not the current games.

That being said, with the new budget switch coming out along with the new games there's a lot of potential to see huge growth. The Pokemon company just needs to play their cards right after stuff like Pokemon Go and Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu to draw new players. This would also see growth in the competitive scene if tournament entree fees dropped.

Sponsor a wgeurts!

So although this is kind of embarrassing, I'm in need of others' help if I want to make it to the World Championships this year.


As some of you may know from either the Speakeasy or generally having talked with me the last 3 years were not the best for me to say the very least. I've had to dedicate a lot of my time to just straightening my life back out and getting back into school after having missed just under a year of it. Thankfully, things are once more headed in a direction I'm happy with and I'm mentally and physically in a much better position now. Sadly these circumstances have gotten in the way of other things however, one of them being my ability to realise this dream of mine to attend the World Championships. Due to numerous factors I'm completely short of funds right now to attend the event or do most things. Until recently I had no time to work a side-job as a high-school student as I wasn't mentally in a good spot and I was pouring my efforts into not failing my classes and being moved down a level so I could still attempt to study medicine in the future. A mixture of medical bills stemming from my insurance company being an ass and not receiving aid from my parents also nuked what little savings I did have. So far I've only been able to attend 2 major events this year, both were done with a budget under 80 euros. This being Frankfurt and Berlin.

This game and event both mean a lot to me. I've met wonderful people through this game and would love to meet some I've talked with and gotten to know online at Worlds. I would love to meet those I already have met again. I would love to travel outside of Europe for the first time in my life. And I would love to prove to myself I can realise my aspirations, despite how bleak I once thought things were in the past. I can't do this alone right now however.

Gofundme

I've setup a gofundme page I'll be sharing with the Pokémon community too. It's a long shot, but it's the only one I have right now. You can find it here:



If you've got anything to spare and want to help me out feel free to have a look. Any help would be invaluable to me.

That's all, I'll see how this goes. If I do manage to raise the funds my entire trip and time there will be documented with photos for all to follow.

Thanks so much!

So a fair number of people have donated to the point I've raised about a third of what I need to attend the Pokemon World championships, I don't recognise all names and some have done so anonymously so I'd like to thank anyone from here from the depths of my heart for anything given. It means a lot to me. I'm getting closer to realising this, so if you're interested in helping me out please feel free to check out the post I've quoted >~<

I'm in need of anywhere between 100-200 more to be able to book my flights there and literally any bit helps as the flight prices are being wacky as heck right now. I've got a job with more shifts now so my money for accommodation is sorted, just this final little. I've raised over three-quarters so I'm really close, and some of the donations may have been from scummers so thanks! <3

Sorry for bumping this again, this will be the last time and I'm aware it could be somewhat annoying, I'm just trying to grasp at any means able to allow me to accomplish this and go to the World Championships. <3
