18th NA Tried to calculate if i could possibly get top 16 if I didn’t play my last match, was pretty certain I could not, and then lost that match…welp
I’m pretty sure Yusuke is Arbol Deku, Luthraim is SoulOfAetherym and I am Eduardo.
I got 6th in Canada so I’m good with that :3
I got 1670 for 114th in the US and 450th in the world. Not bad for a first tournament I guess.
1749th worldwide…71st in UK with 1580.
Congrats to everyone on their rankings 
Meh, I’ll go for better next time, but it was a good experience
68th in USA, by my math 87th in NA, and 287 in the wolrd with a rating 4 points lower than last time. Upset with myself after starting 24-8 with 1699 rating. And finishing 39-21 with 1698….but ill sure as hell take it
had a rough patch of 3-9 day 2 but closed out the competition 12-4 so I can at least say I recovered from tilt. Good job everyone!!!
You should add the Aussie ladder or integrate it with the European one…idk
The games I lost, I lost because of a misplay or badluck. I guess it’s good that I recognise what went wrong so I can build on it..meh.
I finished with 1789 and my goal was 1820, so I’m disappointed despite finishing 1st in Australia. GG’s to everyone I may have played!
Can someone explain why Jivetime was 5th and not 3rd?
I havent got as much info of the teams as last time but i have enough to worth publishing on here. I have omitted the NA/EU players’ teams for obvious reasons. I dont have data on alot of the top 20 (which are the main players to collect) so if anyone has that information can they please share it.
01 heireru
Oh wow! 16th in NA! Sweet! 13th in the US and 72nd in the world! I’ll take it!
I tried out a few different pokemon this time, and had continued to use scarf gardevoir which is effective most the time except against those with super effective priority moves such as mega-scizor’s bullet punch. Had I been more familiar of the fact that mega-lucario doesn’t get the desired speed upon mega-evolving then I would’ve had a much better score than my 1505 indicated.
24 ww and 4th in Europe… Should have played the last 5 games! X)
17th in NA even though I’m actually not in NA lol, 75th overall.
Zoroark was fun
This is true, can confirm. RIP Football Portugal.
#333 overall and #83 in the US, with only 23 battles under my belt, I’ll take that
With the amount of Battles I could do over the three day period, I finished 60th in the UK. Not too bad, wish I did more Battles.
10th in Europe, not bad although I got 4th last time :[.
I wanted to do that last battle but a glitch made me only do 59 :[[[.
187 in the US, 716 worldwide with a final rating of 1640. If there’s any interest, I’ll post some battle videos featuring Heliolisk or against prominent VGC players.
Like I said in my team summation, I’m pretty disappointed with how I played. I’ll be going back to the drawing board after Nats is over to draft my LCQ team.
47th in America, roughly 56th for NA in my second Wifi tournament ever. I’ll definitely take that, especially considering I was using Dragonite. Never again.
190 globally and 48 in the U.S. xD. Despite being in Costa Rica I am in USA for other reasons. But it was not that bad for having used a team that had not tried before.
When a Scrub makes it into the top16 (13th) you know it’s time to hang up them gloves :/
6th in the US and 26th in the world isn’t bad…for using a Miltank. B|
I’m not alone!
It looks like two other people used Mitlank!
Anyone know how much CP we get?
I just realized I didn’t even use the top ten most used pokemons in vgc
I’m curious about if Sejun’s team was a Rain one or not. I had a great match against a good rank korean player on Saturday (early) with a Rain team, wich I lost, but don’t remember the IGN or the player sprite appearence. I do remember playing against the 4th of melevin post, though
Congratz to the winners and Top players
keewan in 4th was mawile/hydreigon/politoed/kingdra/amoonguss and i believe talonflame as opposed to what was listed
Keewan was running Mawile, Hydreigon, Politoed, Kingdra, Amoonguss and Zapdos I believe.
Who should stop Pokealex at DC?!
#Europesostrong!
Wow that’s a lot of Blastoise
I went off what Keewan posted on twitter here External but i have changed it now. Thanks for that.
Hiro used Mawile / TTar / Rotom-W / Garchomp / Salamence / Talonflame
I also know a few more details, but Japan Nats are too close
