Hello! My name is Ty and I make way too many spreadsheets. I've been recording data on my entire 2025 VGC Season. Now that we're at the end of the season, I wanted to share some insights about year, the teams I used, and what the finances looked like for those starting out 🧵

For those wondering, #101 was Hydreigon - better luck in Champions!

Now that Lima/Melbourne are over, I can share my rankings for the top 100 (non restricted) SV mons!

Thanks @HaloVGC for the graphic - data used to determine the ranking below;

[Ty 'SteelTrainer' @SteelTrainer_]

To compile this, I've tracked every mon's earned CP and $ for every major of SV for the last 4 years. This generated a per-regulation ranking for each.

The final placements are the avg of all regulations the mon was legal for, so Incineroar is judged by Reg F, but not by Reg C.

Every year, I can't say it enough. #SoCal is the best #PokemonVGC and #PokemonGO community!

you may not like it, but this is what peak VGC performance looks like
(I ate 6 hotdogs and didn't play a single round and hung out with my dog all day)

Why are we not extending the pre-reg for ICs to people with significant points towards worlds if we're gonna have a hard T80 bar?
