Finished with 1718 in my first month as a VGC player, 11th in Spain and 71th in Europe. I would like to get to know if I could get some CP or not.
It’s unfortunate when you run out from time with these tournaments, as I was doing pretty well with the score of 17 wins, 3 losses.
However, that’s what you get for having your birthday on the 17th day of May, along with the hectic life in school, when this week has been absolutely filled with exams.
But, I digress. It was a fun tournament, and honestly, I want to find this “Susanna”, as I’d like to have a battle with her, between us two Finnish players, because I believe it would be quite interesting, given how she has been able to play a lot more Pokémon than I have, although my win/loss ratio is superior to hers.
Ranking only is the tip of the iceberg, because it doesn’t tell how the player plays or how “good” they are, or if they think the way you do, it just tells that whatever they have done is effective enough for it to get them pretty high.
Ended up with a 19-11 record. but only just above 1600 points. Around Top 2000 worldwide. I guess I faced a lot of low-ranked players due to losing to a Hail team (which always give me the most trouble) in the very first match.
Yipeee 4th in Europe ^_^ Hopefully Milan will go this well :]
Have CP and enigma berries been doled out yet?
Finished 280th in the world and 14th in italy with a 1723 ranking,not bad at all
The Enigma Berry is now available! Just log onto Global Link and head to the PokeMileage Club, then do a Game Sync and pick it up from the Delivery Girl in any Pokemon Center.
I got 5th in the world at juniors so y’know not bad. I lost to the second cause of a dc. Stupid internet.
Edit: never mind, figured it out, it makes you click on the stupid message first instead of just automatically giving it to you with a game sync, duh.
For this event, Championship Points for Juniors & Seniors have now been posted on Pokemon.com.

Good job to my lil guy, Phillip in the 14th for Juniors!
NO WAY
my lil brother got 1st in Juniors? First dark assassin made me look bad now my 2nd younger brother. I need to get my game on. ;(
FYI – the CP are wrong for some of those with CP from two Premier Challenges. The International Challenge was mistakenly linked in with Premier Challenges for best finish limit. Should be fixed in a day or two.
