@McPootisCakes Honestly, one of my 2 Garde teachers... Couldn't have asked for a better one, from tipping me over the edge to bring it to my very first regional, to going to my 2nd regional together and changing our list last minute (fucking 2am) to your final list that got me some hard CP 💙💜

Ode to Psychic Embrace Thank you, Gardevoir EX

Last dance with Gardevoir EX. Got T256 (180th) at Sevilla SPE. 'Spectrier and 59 other cards' @Shmonstah @Jester585_PTCG Ward for the vibes this weekend @TCGshopE for the support at home +60 CP +Gardevoir (finally) on my Limitless page 🥲

@kingpminch Machamp 💪🏻

I'm gonna prove something. I have a Google Doc of every single Pokémon, from 1-1025. COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE and I'll add your name until we've found someone who likes every single one!

@_MOwithanE @9PurpleGhost4 @girlfangs_ @Ian__Robb Hence why Ian said that even if you favor going 2nd, you should still build your deck with "Going 1st" in mind so you won't be as punished as others..

@9PurpleGhost4 @girlfangs_ @Ian__Robb I think you’re missing my point My starting hand as a deck who wants to go 2nd might not be usable if I go 1st My starting hand as a deck who wants to go 1st will probably still be usable if I go 2nd One of those puts you at a bigger disadvantage than the other

The biggest way to gain an advantage in deckbuilding in Pokémon is building your deck to handle going first better then the average list. You can still play a deck that wants to go second, but you should build with going first in mind

One week before Utrecht my sponsor TCGShop will be holding a league cup at Fanova with a cap of 128 masters and great prize support. A great chance to test before Utrecht regionals. Link in comments

452/4011 at EUIC first IC and first day 2! Being the best Belgian in day 1! This weekend was epic!!! Thanks to @Milleni17527185 for the coaching and the broken 60 which I loved every single minute with! Prime Catcher mvp for sure! Only BunnyBomb in day 2 btw, Talk about optimal!

@Bijzer_ Dinner with Mudkip sounds like an S-tier date idea

EUIC 2026 🇬🇧 What a weekend! First time TCG judge at an IC! Had an awesome time and an awesome team! Made new friends, saw old friends and gained so much experience and knowledge! I love being part of this community! ⚡️✨ #EUIC2026 #playpokemon

@EldritchEmma 1st 2 rounds gonna be hell with people judge calling about reprints etc.

Bets on how many people mess up and have pokepads in their decks at EUIC?

@McPootisCakes @Shmonstah @TCGshopE Absolute GOAT

Last cup of the year, got 2nd/36 at WASD Turnhout after a 4-0 start. Yippee! Double bricked the finals but the vibes were immaculate. @Shmonstah for the live commentary @TCGshopE for the support throughout the year! 🙏

@JesseParker @ProfRichieE Wrong

@ProfRichieE Bye Cyrus! 👋

If you play 4 boss's orders, is it better to play matching arts or 1 of each gang leader? 🤔💭

@Shmonstah Yet no spot for me 😔

HOLY

Hello hello! My name is Simon 'Shmon' Van der Borght. I love Pokémon and I got mainly experience in Pokémon VG casting and I love being able to share my excitement when casting! ✨Retweets are appreciated as always✨ yt link: youtu.be/-eh5LmoHkqw

4-3-1 at Stuttgart, 700th/2200. Locked in @hchao999 's broken 60 at 2am after getting distracted by Riftbound since Gdansk, so got what I deserved + Double brick win-and-in 🤷‍♂️ +20CP +€60 from sleep-deprived poker Last chance to get Garde on my Limitless page ➡️ EUIC 😤

@McPootisCakes @hchao999 The 60 sleep deprived Poker Euros were not to be included 😭😂

Stuttgart is in the books. Had an absolute blast but unfortunately my results weren't as great, still happy for the experience and a special thanks to @McPootisCakes for going on the ride with me of submitting a very diffrent list at 2:30am with an 8:30am starting time 😂

@MikeEllisPTCG It is going to be B, but it should be C, seeing as the ability states "You may put 5 damage counters on 1 of your opp's pokemon, If you use this ability, this pokemon is knocked out" stating it is only knocked out if you place the 5 damage counters, which Battle Cage prevents

If a player uses Cursed Blast on the opponents bench with Battle Cage in play, what happens? 🤔 A) The ability is cancelled B) The ability has been used, no damage on benched Pokémon, dusclops KOed C) The ability has been used, in order to fulfill, the active must be targetted

Placed 9th at the LC @TCGshopE, bubbled out of points for the 2nd time in a row on 9th. Have to be better. Took Dragapult EX and lost 2 mirrors, overall happy but have to be better if I want to keep racking up points.

Couldn't convert the win-and-in into a day 2 appearance on my very first regional championship unfortunately. Had loads of fun and learned a lot to take into future Tournaments. Shoutout @McPootisCakes @N1ELS2000 @Zartagon for the testing and shoutout @TCGshopE for the community

@McPootisCakes @TCGshopE Brother you're an absolute demon, sometimes stuff just doesn't go your way, I already know you're going to be beating the crap outta some people next weekend so keep the head up high and go again 💜

Fumbled a 4-0-1 start into 4-3-1 at Lille. Played some of my best Pokémon, but my opponents were simply too cracked. Never did I get punished so hard for plays I didnt realize were mistakes/suboptimal, so def learned a lot 🫡. S/O @TCGshopE for the support and the vibes!
