Great to finally see thisup, great job oh helmet headed one!
Congrats on the wins but perish trap really won? .-.
Really glad to see this went out now
Thanks Wyrms Eye.
GreatTornado: That team might not just be Perish Trap. It could be Whimsicott-Gengar Fake Tears, or Whimsicott-Terrakion Beat Up. It’s packed full of options.
If you’re referring to the 1st place UK team, it’s not Perish Trap. Rather, it uses strategies such as the Mega Gengar+Whimsicott Disable-Encore core as well as the Terracott Beat Up strategy from the looks of it.
This is P3DS we’re talking about, it’s Perish Trap
what does hitmonchan do thats better that top
Not saying I think it’s more competitively viable, but it has slightly more attack, doesn’t set off competitive/defiant, has inner focus for Kang, and elemental punches (lol).
Thanks for the posting the teams. Interesting to see how Europe is really experimenting with the meta. I love TR Garde and I definitely smell the Japanese influence in the air.

Just a slight correction, my name is Jamie Boyt.
It’s great to see what pokes did well, Hitmonchan is cool.
I’ve checked twitter in the last days during the UK regionals, and when I found out that the finals was Perish Trap Vs Kan Artist I was a bit displeased.
Just because it’s always cool to see original teams to win, just that honestly. -like MrJellyLeggs or Guido Marino- but in the end, it comes down to who wins and who doesn’t. Perish trap is still a strategy and to win a regional with a somewhat gimmick strategy is very very big. Congratulations!
Also Baz Anderson influence -and Cybetron’s maybe- is strong in UK, Breloom and Liepard everywhere! No wonder you can run into ocational Cresselia and Sylveon wearing Safety Googles.
Lol p3ds I was planning to use the same team except another mon instead of bisharp for Mass regs . Btw how do you take care of heatran cause you only have two checks to it
Hitmonchan, huh? interesting
Would definitely love to see the sets on the Serperior and Hitmonchan. Congrats to everyone though.
AlphaGinger1991 – My Serperior was Dual Screens
Could the results for the senior division be posted?
I would like to add here, the teams (with the exception of Simone’s) from the Rome Regional Championship were provided by LB1993. He is a great guy. Just wanted to make sure credit for this was given where it was due
