Hmmm... *Checks when Legends ZA was released* Yeah that checks out

With the announcement of regulation F returning, here's a reminder of some of the top teams last time we visited the format!

Life update, we've officially gone from a Tandemaus to a Maushold! Very excited and exhausted, so apologies in advance if some tournament updates are a little late as we adjust to this new chapter

The 2025 Pokemon World Championship has come to a close and Giovanni Cischke is your new world champion! And absolutely incredible weekend with a tense finals. Brute Bonnet takes a shocking win! Congratulations to all players, just making it this far is a victory. labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Serebii Update: The Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Ranked Battle Regulation J ruleset has been officially revealed. Use 2 Restricted Pokemon including Mythical Pokémon Runs from September 1st 2025 Details being added @ serebii.net

Sorry for the delay but #PokeminNAIC comes to a close and Federico Camporesi is your new international champion! Such an incredible weekend with a stacked lineup. I recommend taking a look at the full top cut for all the unique appearances #PokemonVGC #PlayPokemon labmaus.net/tournaments/...

We're back with day 2 usage of #PokemonNAIC! Chien-Pao has shot up to second place! Urshifu has hit its lowest usage in quite a while, and Smeargle manages to creep into the top 12. #PokemonVGC #PlayPokemon

We're back at #PokemonNAIC with day one usage! Grimmsnarl, Chi-Yu, Whimsicott, and Volcarona have really picked usage since reg G while Incineroar remains the king. #PokemonVGC #PlayPokemon

Apologies for any delays or errors this week and next week. We're in the middle of moving and the computer is already packed away so I'm limited on what I can do the next few days

Next tournament for this weekend is Utrecht where Michael Kelsch claims yet another victory! An incredible performance with a surprise appearance from Landourus. We also so some other unique picks in top 8 like Ursaluna Bloodmoon, Sneasler, Roaring Moon and Entei. labmaus.net/tournaments/...

There was a lot of tournaments this weekend! First to finish was Melbourne where Masayoshi Kuroo claimed the victory with a G-Weezing team! We also got a surprise appearances with Annihilape. This is one of the largest tournaments from Australia yet, so go check it out! labmaus.net/tournaments/...

We've got the day 1 stats from Utrecht! Lunala and Ho-Oh see a massive surge in usage while Miraidon becomes the dominant force in regulation I

The first regional of regulation I has come to a close in Milwaukee and 🇺🇸 Andrew Ding is your new champion! The early meta in a new regulation is always exciting, and Lunala + Miraidon appears to be a very scary combo. Make sure to check out the results! labmaus.net/tournaments/...

We have some of the first usage stats of regulation I in Milwaukee! Not too surprising to see Calyrex-S and Zamazenta on top, but Miraidon and Calyrex-I is an interesting duo. We'll see tomorrow how these duo's work out!

With over 120 tournaments already played in Regulation I, lets take a look at what's been popular! Koraidon and Lunala have been a sunny surprise, while Zamazenta and Calyrex-S have been a very consistent duo. Zacian has also had a small resurgence so we'll see if it lasts. labmaus.net/topteams

Seville has wrapped up and 🇪🇸 Iker Rodrigo is your new champion! What an incredible weekend and... why is there an Eternatus in 3rd!? Congratulations to all players! We also have the top 12 in usage where Raging Bolt and Amoonguss had surprisingly poor performances labmaus.net/tournaments/...

The Monterrey regional was this last weekend and Riley Factura had an incredible run with Iron Crown! We also had a bunch of unique Pokemon in top 8 including Tinkaton and Iron Boulder. Congratulations to all players this weekend! #PokemonVGC #PlayPokemon labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Atlanta has come to a close and 🇺🇸 Daniel Yu is your new regional champion! An incredible run where both Daniel and Joey Woodring ran the same unique team to finals! Expect to see it a lot more the next few days. Congratulations to all players! labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Today was taxes day, so it was the last thing on my mind, thanks for covering haha

⚠️ VGC REGULATION SET I ⚠️ The Regulation Set I details have been announced! #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC 🗓️ 1 May–31 Aug 2025 ✅ Restricted Legendary Pokémon will be ELIGIBLE 🚫 You can only use TWO Restricted in your team 🌎 This will be the format at Asian Nationals, NAIC and Worlds!

Brisbane has come to a close and Diego Ferreira is your new regional champion! Always fun to see the diversity from Australia, and Teal Mask Ogerpon had a surprise victory! 🇦🇺🏆 #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Hey everyone, there hasn't been many updates to the site the last few months due to IRL events, and just wanted to give a quick update as to what's going on. Thankfully it's all good news! We just finalized purchasing our first home which has been a hectic amount of paperwork, but it's done.

What an incredible finals! 🇩🇪 Michael Kelsch is your new 2025 Stockholm Regional Champion! People say Europe can't cook, but this tournament had some incredible diversity! Congratulations to all players #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Day 2 of Stockholm has some interesting new developments! A significant rise in Indeedee-F, Clefairy, and Smeargle, who are all often paired with the Calyrex's. Notably Ogerpon Hearthflame has vanished from the chart

We're back with day 1 of Stockholm! Pretty consistent top pokemon as usual, though Lunala has managed to creep into the charts! Calyrex Shadow Rider is quite a bit more popular than usual but we'll see it that usage holds in day 2 #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC

We also had a 117 player regional in Fortaleza this weekend where 🇧🇷 Bruno Rebello cleaned up with another Koraidon win! With 3 Scream Tails in top 8 it must have been a loud tournament. Congratulations to all players! labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Vancouver wraps up in a very unique finals! Huge congratulations to 🇺🇸 Behzad Muntazir for the incredible win. There was a lot of interesting diversity in the top 8 this weekend. labmaus.net/tournaments/...

We're back with the day 2 usage from Vancouver! Notably Ogerpon Cornerstone continues to have a larger impact on day 2 #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC

We have the day 1 from Vancouver! Very close race between the top 4 restricteds, Kyogre has fallen a little behind. The top 12 are pretty much the same, the only changes are mainly movesets.

There's been a lot going on IRL so haven't been actively lately, but who's ready for Vancouver!? Here's some of the top performing teams in the last month. The Heatran and Ting Lu teams were both quite popular at EUIC! Good luck to everyone today

What a way to wrap up the weekend! With over 1200 players, the largest to date, 🇺🇸 Wolfe Glick (@wolfeglick.bsky.social) is your new EUIC champion! A phenomenal finals and overall fantastic tournament. Congratulations to everyone who competed labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Apologies for the previous post, there was an error with day 2, but now we have the proper day 2 usage for EUIC! #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC

Good morning! Still very early for North America but EUIC is in full swing so here is the day one usage. Ogerpon has soared in usage this weekend, while Landorus continues to be a less popular but very consistent pick

EUIC is around the corner so lets take a look at what we can expect! Miraidon's team composition looks pretty set in stone and Roaring Moon has had a surge in usage. Tornadus has taken a back seat to Whimsicott and there is far less prankster speed control. Good luck everyone!

Apologies for the delay, but we have the results from Merida and Daniel Núñez comes away with the win sporting a Dozogiri team! We also saw a shocking Chesnaught in the top 8. Congratulations to all players. labmaus.net/tournaments/...

San Antonio comes to a chilly conclusion and Justin Tang takes the victory! Huge congratulations to both him and his team building partner Shiliang Tang who both made it to finals with the same team! labmaus.net/tournaments/...

We're back with day 2 of San Antonio! Ogerpon Cornerstone and Landorus have been creeping up in usage, mainly due to being great partners with Calyrex Ice Rider

San Antonio day 1 is going strong so let's take a look at the usage! Nothing too new or surprising this weekend, but Farigiraf feels like it's really flown under the radar and shouldn't be dismissed

We had the Rio de Janeiro regional this weekend and 🇦🇷 Juan Salerno is your newest champion! We got to see an Iron Treads, and all the Ogerpon forms we missed out on in Birmingham labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Birmingham wraps up the return to regulation G and William Bassolino is your new champion! A fantastic return to the format with some really interesting picks in top 8. Notably not a single Calyrex-SR! labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Here's day 2 from Birmingham! Amoonguss shot up in usage despite the massive presence of Miraidon, and Urshifu-SS sneaks into top 12

We have the day 1 usage from Birmingham! The classic FWG trio returns as the top 3. Many pokemon which provide some form of support to restricted pokemon

It's just about time to return to regulation G in Birmingham so here are the teams to look out for! Notably near identical teams taking first and second. Most of the restricted are what you would expect, though a notable lack of Kyogre. labmaus.net/topteams

Site overhaul checklist: - ̷R̷e̷w̷o̷r̷k̷ ̷d̷a̷t̷a̷ ̷g̷a̷t̷h̷e̷r̷i̷n̷g̷ ̷f̷r̷o̷m̷ ̷s̷o̷u̷r̷c̷e̷s̷ - Add database tables for TCG - Optimize backend database queries - Add Rest API support - Cleanup frontend code - Add additional pages for VGC and TCG Still a long road but getting there

Happy New Years to all! With regulation G on the brink, here's a look back to the top performing teams of regulation H. While it never won a regional, Flamigo was incredibly popular for a brief period.

Going to be working on a complete overhaul of the site in the next few months. General layout shouldn't change much, mainly backend changes for performance. One loftier goal would be supporting TCG, but I don't play, so what statistics would be meaningful for you guys?

Had an amazing weekend in Toronto! Met so many incredible people including the one and only Alpharad! Phenomenal tournament and what a way to wrap up regulation H. If there's one thing I learned, I need to get that merch page started. Hope to see you guys more in the future ❤️

Apologies for the mobile formatting, but huge congratulations to 🇺🇸 Wolfe Glick, your new Toronto regional champion! Extremely unique team that you can only expect from the goat. Congratulations to all players for the amazing weekend labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Back in Toronto for the final day 2 for regulation H! So many fantastic pokemon and the top 5 have been such pillars of the regulation. Didn't expect Annihilape to make it up to sixth!

This counts as making it on stream right? Front and center lol
