London Internationals - General Thoughts and Team Report

After London Internationals finished last week, I made a decision to postpone taking part in any official Pokemon tournaments at least until the next season kicks off. In my opinion this year’s circuit is pretty bad for many people for a n…

And What If He's An Idiot? - VGC Players' Biggest Sin

Hello everyone! I'm finally back from Germany Nationals and since I don't have as much time as I had last year, I won't be attending any other Nationals, so the season is pretty much over for me. Because I know that at least one of my frie…

VGC 2015 Mega Evolution Tiers

Hi! This place has been pretty deserted for a while, I wanted to write a team report a while ago about my Premier Challenge team (and Worlds too, if I managed to buy tickets or won a paid trip instead of just an invite, lol) but I somehow …

Germany Nationals Team

It's been a while since Germany Nats and I've finally found enough willpower to write a few words about my team. It's nothing special but at least not another bog Kangaskhan team that everyone has read tones of articles about. The story be…

Italy Nationals

This tourney went pretty horrible for me, thinking about my loses still makes me feel sick. I just wasn't playing as well as I could and lost to stuff I usually 4-0'd in practice. I feel my Milan team was better than my Bochum team but I m…

The Very Last Shot of Glory for VGC 2013

Since WiFi connection for fifth generation games has been shut down, VGC 2013 is officially a completely dead format. On the most recent Sunday there was a very last live tourney with last year's rules, so I had a very last chance to build…

Germany Nationals

Last weekend I went to Germany Nationals, didn't feel very confident but managed to get top 8 after finishing swiss rounds with seven wins and one loss. I'm really satisfied with my result but I feel I could've done better in my top 8 matc…

Eject Button Politoed - on fast rain in VGC'14

It's been a long time since my last entry but I was struggling to get a better understanding of this format for a while. One if the first things that caught my attention was the fact that rain was still available because Politoed, Kingdra …

My Last VGC 2013 Team

Today I'd like to show you my last VGC 2013 team. I started building it a few weeks before WCS 2013 when I was trying to figure something out on my own other than my Nationals team. At first nothing worked for me so I decided to try someon…

Japan vs. Korea Teams

Japan vs. Korea finished a few hours ago, those who missed it or didn't even know it took place can check out R's blog. We were able to see some interesting teams today so I decided to make a list of them. I didn't watch every game and can…

Italian Nationals Team

I know it's been a while since the European Nats but recently Nugget Bridge posted my report so I'd like to say a few words about the team here. Click HERE to see the aricle. This is not my first competitive VGC team, nor it's my last one.…

Here We Go!

Hi, I'm Szymoninho, Polish VGC player. I decided to set up my own blog after following some Japanese ones. I don't want you to get me wrong - this is not supposed to be a place where I want you only to look at some teams or where I'd post …
