@Max_LJCR@renecuajo_mx But that's the mindset I'd wager a lot of less experienced players are coming from. They want to know how the best players are innovating, and the people innovating get to play a better game when everyone around them is better.
@Max_LJCR@renecuajo_mx You shouldn't have been forced to share your EVs are the time if you didn't want to, but one could also argue you contributed to keeping the metagame stagnant by not doing so. That's not at all to imply that you have a duty to push the metagame forward.
@Max_LJCR@renecuajo_mx It hasn't gotten out of control; it's how things used to be. I think OP is arguing the opposite, that people have gotten out of control with wanting extra cash and are prioritizing profiting over pushing the metagame forward. Which by all means you have the right to do.
I'm the 2026 Turin SPE Champion!
This was my first time running a perish trap team at a major tournament and I'm happy that I was able to win it all at my home turf

Now heads to NAIC!
Last weekend I became the FIRST Champion of Pokémon Champions by winning the 2026 Indianapolis Regional! It truly was an unforgettable experience- having to face the best of the best in order to claim the top spot! Shoutouts to my family and @sohaibmufti and @Ink_VG.
I placed second at Indianapolis Regionals using Mega Steelix! My Pokemon journey began with Onix, so it felt fitting to begin Pokemon Champions with its evolution. The full team report and 50 minutes of battles with the team are available now on Patreon. Thanks for the support!
Finished top 64 (45/1013) at the Indianapolis VGC Regional Championships
Team was really fun, and an appropriate call for day 1
Big thanks to @Sodamario_VGC@Soraxjm for the being the original team creators, and allowing me to add my own input on things
