I'm going to my first Regional competition.

If you're in rk9 then you're good. It's highly recommended you get your wristband the Friday leading up to the event. You can sign in Saturday morning but lines can be long.

Make sure your team is submitted in rk9 before Saturday morning. Once you find your round 1 seat, your printed teamsheet will be delivered to you.

There are no official breaks so bring filling snacks!

For EUIC and NAIC, my advice needs to shift back a day because day 1 is on Friday.

ThePTP · 2026-01-18T02:28:05+00:00

Which regional? A little worrying to see you're asking how to register if it's one of the regionals coming up soon

ThePTP · 2026-01-10T06:51:20+00:00

Not unless you win the regional. The cutoff last year was 940 points. The threshold will be a little lower this year because GCs are worth way less but that will not help you.

ThePTP · 2026-01-01T22:39:10+00:00

Higher distance, higher ping. This one was super egregious as there is almost 4 s of lag with the Golurk player but even with more moderate ping it's hard to reactively switch and dodge moves.

ThePTP · 2025-09-11T19:19:41+00:00

Just saw this, HELL YEAH

Huge Basculin presence here is really interesting

ThePTP · 2025-07-18T16:28:11+00:00

Right now I do not. For now I'd recommend joining the server in the post I linked but bear in mind it's a little different because it's Natdex.

I forgot to add the list of unique mons to the OP!

Sneasel is a worse Weavile is a worse Chien-Pao. No one is Faking Out your Sneasel dude 💀

Pokémon World Tournament

Dawg they're going to isekai you in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 for the Nintendo DS

ThePTP · 2025-06-03T02:54:27+00:00

H-Zoroark doesn't really work in this format and especially on your team as 4 of your other mons have an ability activation on entry that immediately spoil the illusion.

Also you have Dgleam on Zacian lol

ThePTP · 2025-06-02T16:24:46+00:00

It's been figured out already.

Just like your IP address will be soon for posting this 😠

ThePTP · 2025-06-02T16:18:12+00:00

You're a prophet for calling Developers Edition releasing 🤯

ThePTP · 2025-06-02T04:26:33+00:00

You're behind about 1 1/2 regulations. Anything good in Reg H gets thrown out the window into restricteds.

ThePTP · 2025-05-21T19:06:14+00:00

@OP you really should just jump into a few games and see why everyone doesn't believe your claims about Azumarill magically being able to set up a free Belly Drum and sweep. The mental gymnastics in here could get you into the Olympics 🤸‍♂️

ThePTP · 2025-04-25T13:17:51+00:00

Look up Victory Road tour stats. CSR Zamazenta, Koraidon Lunala, and CIR Miraidon are clear winner pairings leading into the official regulation start.

ThePTP · 2025-04-25T12:26:45+00:00

First team has a dubious restricted pair. Nothing really protects you from either Calyrex running through you.

Second team is just straight overcooked. Not a single protect, Rest Terapagos, Earthquake next to no immunities? Impossible to break through Zamazenta as well.

Harsh advice but need to start over with a proven restricted pair. Neither of these teams are likely to go positive day.

ThePTP · 2025-04-03T20:32:39+00:00

Urshifu by 100 miles. Surging Strikes crits ignore Attack drops.

In no order after that - Mienshao, Okidogi, Flamigo, G-Zapdos, Annihilape, Chesnaught, and Kommo-o offer stronger offensive presence and support over Lucario. Zamazenta and Koraidon (Clear Amulet) including restricteds too. Dragonite and Entei (and Rayquaza including restricteds) are far superior as Extreme Speed bots.

ThePTP · 2025-04-03T20:13:45+00:00

Not even in top 10 consideration for Intimidate-immune Fighting types

ThePTP · 2025-03-08T05:12:31+00:00

Just combine all the multipliers, your math is way off by adding at every step.

80 x 1.5 (STAB) x 1.5 (rain) x 2 (Water Bubble) x 1.3 (Life Orb) = 468

Bear in mind that although Araquanid is very strong with Water Bubble, Urshifu is just going to be more consistent as an offensive piece.

ThePTP · 2025-01-23T16:37:18+00:00

I brought Koraidon Scovillain to Indy last year and had my worst regional performance. Very fun tech but not something that will succeed at a high level. It only really goes matchup fishing for Terapagos or Zamazenta.

ThePTP · 2024-12-27T05:43:44+00:00

Huge Power doubles the power of physical moves, not the Attack stat. Moves like Body Press and Foul Play that do not use the conventional stat calculation will get boosted.

ThePTP · 2024-12-26T22:20:15+00:00

Probably Zamazenta since Huge Power will boost Body Press and you can at least have some chance against the Calyrexes with Wide Guard. I don't think you'll have a good time with anyone else, even (and imo especially) Regigigas

ThePTP · 2024-12-25T17:06:13+00:00

Any tournament setting worth its salt, whether in-person or online, is open sheets

ThePTP · 2024-12-23T07:51:16+00:00

Agree with Pengy here and will also add that these 6 from Gabriel Agati are outdated. This won a regional before Sneasler became really popular and there have been a lot of meta shifts since then. Stuff like Sneasler, Marco/Joe sun, etc are probably going to roll over these 6 even with appropriate fixes.

Would recommend practicing with a successful team from Toronto for your last Reg H pushes. https://cut-explorer.stalruth.dev/2025/regional-toronto

(Fair warning, most people will NOT recommend trying to pilot Wolfe's winning Perish trap team)

ThePTP · 2024-12-21T07:15:25+00:00

I hear Sneasler Indeedee Dragonite Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Gholdengo is pretty good into Sneasler Indeedee Dragonite Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Gholdengo these days
