Thanks for your patience, it appears to be back up and running!

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

We're currently experiencing some issues with the domain issuer. As such, the site is temporarily unavailable, but will hopefully be restored soon

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

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

With the exception being Meowstic. Having 2 distinct gender forms yet both mega evolving into the same form has its own unique challenges

020

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

A little busy with real life events, but the discover and top teams pages have been updated to handle grouping mega's and non-mega's together. The rest will hopefully get done next week

170

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

With the release of Champions tomorrow, a little heads up that there might be a few hiccups as we sort out the new format. Introducing mega evolutions and removing tera types leads to a few challenges

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Appears to be a timeout issue due to the sheer quantity of teams. We'll investigate, but narrowing down the search a little fixes the problem

000

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Someone reported this before. Seems like a bug exclusive to Safari, which is a little annoying to debug without a Mac, but I'll take another look. Thanks!

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Victory Road is a weird situation. They're some of the most impactful non-official tournaments, however they typically only upload their day 2 data, so any coverage we'd do would be incomplete

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

In case you missed the previous announcement, LabMaus is back with a site overhaul! Check out the site with the Bermingham regional 2026 results! We're also now supporting Juniors and Seniors which should be available once placements are released labmaus.net/tournaments/... #PlayPokemon #pokemonvgc

Definitely a cool filtering option! Slipped past my initial radar but I'll add that to my to-do list. It gets a little messier if you want to filter location based on tournament or by player

010

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Forgot to mention but shoutout to @edhrec.com for largely inspiring the site overhaul. Completely different worlds, but their type of data coverage and analysis for MTG is what I strive for #pokemonvgc #playpokemon

New site is now live! There is way too much new to properly fit into a single post so check out the reddit post for a full update on what's new. Thank you to everyone for your support up to this point. It's incredible to see the growth over the last 2 years. www.reddit.com/r/VGC/commen...

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...

Hey everyone! This is just a heads up that LabMaus will be having a maintenance week starting Monday. We've been working on a massive site overhaul with new features and QoL changes and it's finally ready! We'll follow up with a post covering all the changes once maintenance is complete

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

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

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

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 · 29/09/2025

I hate off-by-one errors... Issue should be resolved going forward and have a script running that should be slowly correcting all existing tournaments. Thanks for the catch!

110

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

Huh that's odd, but you're correct. I'll take a look when I get a chance

110

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 · 16/09/2025

Still working on our end! I haven't made any changes in a while so there's nothing new that could have broken it

100

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

Also I apologize for some of the players whose names haven't shown up correctly due to special characters. I'll fix that when I get a chance

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/...

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

LabMaus @labmaus.bsky.social · 25/05/2025

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

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

Quite change to the Utrecht url after reuploading to deal with a bug labmaus.net/tournaments/...

Thanks for catching that! Should have a fix soon

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/...

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/...
