Phew that was a lot, I'm beat. The Grand Champions Festival is now up on LabMaus! The largest pokemon tournament to date, with over 6K players was this weekend! Huge shoutout to @skrawvgc.bsky.social for the incredible undertaking. Make sure to check out the results! labmaus.net/tournaments/...

We're now a week into Regulation M-A so let's see what's popular! It's still early, but Aerodactyl is a big surprise, and Sneasler continues to be a menace even with the nerf. Floette and Charizard are competing for the top mega spot which becomes a lot more clear when looking at the 4-pokemon cores

So I indirectly broke PASRS 😅 You may have noticed Urshifu's icon is now broken. Bauerdad was using the URL from LabMaus which has now changed. If you're experiencing this you can update the icon tab in PASRS with the new URLs res.cloudinary.com/hbmrm8dyp/im... res.cloudinary.com/hbmrm8dyp/im...

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!

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

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

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

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/...

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

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/...

0112

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

As for the day 2 restricted usage, Calyrex Shadow Rider has caught up to Miraidon, but Groudon remains nowhere to be seen

020

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

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

180

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

We also have the day 1 usage from restricted's where Koraidon remains at the top, but there's definitely been a drop in Lunala usage since the start

161

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

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

192

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Shockingly there were more Miraidon than Incineroar this weekend! Along with Iron Hands in the top 12, there is a clear dominant threat in the early meta and it will be interesting to see how players adjust. Ursaluna is popular but doesn't seem to be having as much impact as desired

030

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

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/...

341

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

I've also got the top 16 from Melbourne to account for including restricteds. Miraidon is almost rivaling Incineroar! Ursaluna is also seeing high usage but only managed one spot in the top 8

010

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

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/...

110

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

And here's the Utrecht day 1 for non-restricted. Ursaluna has been an amazing partner for Miraidon, and Grimmsnarl's screens support has been invaluable. Chien-pao has also seen a slight incline alongside Zamazenta.

060

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 17/05/2025

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

1161

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

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/...

074

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

We also have the top 12 non-restricted from day 1 at Milwaukee! Chi-Yu is seeing a resurgence and our 2 tailwind setters are side-by-side. Flutter Mane has also seen an uptick since reg G!

070

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

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!

2171

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

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

030

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

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/...

110

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 22/04/2025

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/...

121

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 13/04/2025

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/...

270

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

And of course here is the top 12 in usage. Nothing too shocking here, though Tornadus definitely under-performed

050

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

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/...

1103

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Second, and most important. We're expecting our first little one! The only sad news is I'll miss worlds due to her due date. We're at a slow point for VGC so I don't feel too bad letting the site coast for a bit, but I hope to focus more on updates to the site prior to any big VGC changes

1230

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

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/...

1110

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

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

0151

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

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

0152

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

Can't forget usage data from Fortazela! Tornadus is #12 if we exclude restricteds. Ogerpon Cornerstone is making a name for itself.

030

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

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/...

171

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

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/...

191

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

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

0170

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

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.

1110

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

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

071

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

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/...

0201

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

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

0133

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

We also have the top 8 restricted at EUIC! The choices have not charged, simply the order. Calyrex Shadow Rider in first is surprising considering the recent dominance of Ice Rider and Miraidon

060

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

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

1132

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

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!

042

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

In addition, here are the top 12 pokemon used in the tournament (Whimsicott is 12th if you exclude restricted's) Urshifu remains on his throne, and the top 12 remains very stable.

021

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

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/...

140

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

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/...

1112

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

We also have the day 2 restricted usage of San Antonio where Ice Rider has dominated! The cycle continues, as next time there will likely be a lot more Ice Rider counters

180

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

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

1110

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

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

1152

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

We also have the top 12 in usage from the tournament! Chi-Yu is 12th if you exclude restricteds
