I may be dating myself with this one, but the Orlando format is giving “Late July” vibes right now!

I won the 2026 San Juan Special Championships! It’s a small event but it means a whole lot to me after a down stretch that left me doubting myself. It means even more to cap off the SV era with a win for this team we have worked so hard on.

Whether he likes it or not, he’s cemented himself in history as a “hard trick room player” 🤣
Congratulations my friend 🏆

I felt really good about my play all weekend and glad some of it was streamed, especially managing to overcome an incredibly difficult matchup in semifinals.
I’m excited to keep improving in this next chapter of vgc.
team report by Brian on @DevonCorpPress soon 👀

thanks to @KortexVGC who contributed to the team, and the rest of the padders who help in many ways.
thanks to all the guys who let me crash with them after missing my flight.
and thank you to my wife - who is not a pokemon fan but watched anyway - for always supporting me.

the nice thing about being a bit better at pokemon recently is I missed my flight so I get more time in cool places

I always deny it when people refer to us as “hard tr player(s)” at events, because I am just a player who uses hard tr sometimes…
but it’s getting harder and harder to beat the allegations because we just simply can not stop cooking 😩

I finished 23rd at EUIC 2026! I’m very proud of this team and the work I put in with my friends to get this result. I was very confident in the innovations on Trick Room I brought, and they all paid off throughout the tournament. 🔥

Indeedee when Reg F is back and it’s trainer makes it learn Healing Wish again

1-3 to 5-3 to salvage points. not bad for my first ever tournament!
English
With Reg F events returning and with it prep documents and meta snapshots it feels very cool to have been part of building a team relevant enough to the format to be both used and discussed.
I’ve used plenty of fun stuff in my time but nothing with an actual impact on the meta.
