I (Kyla) came 344th at EUIC 2026! This was my first Day 2, but also my last major of the season making it the perfect end to my journey with Gholdengo. It will be sad to see the deck I've played for so long go, but i'm also so happy to give it this amazing run as a send off.

Running back the Brum 60, I (Kyla) won my second cup, +50cp!
Benjamin placed 3rd, playing tera zard, only losing to myself 😎
Locking in the list for EUIC with it being a lot of fun and consistent.

Current CP:
Kyla (175)

Late post, but I (Benjamin) came top 256 at Birmingham regionals with TeraBox. I was playing it mostly for fun but hit solid matchups and went 1-1-1 vs Watchtower. Bring on the illustrator Fan Rotoms!
Kyla also gained some points, going 4-3-1 with trusty Gholdengo.

@Prof_GeorgeTCG Epic Kachow performance

[Kyla and Benjamin's Pokémon Journey @KylaxBenjamin]

This weekend was pure Pokémon for us, playing back to back League Cups. On Saturday I overcame the hoard of Joltik box to claim 1st. For Sunday I ran it back to top 4, whilst Kyla conquered all match-ups and took home her first ever Cup win!

(Kyla) Gdansk was a great experience, with lots of cool and fun opponents. I finished 3-4-1 due to some rough starts and generally luck not being on my side (shouldn't have used all my precious trolley top decks in testing!). Onwards and upwards to new builds!

@RemyspetoTCG Likewise! Congrats on getting your pidgeot control limitless entry.

[Kyla and Benjamin's Pokémon Journey @KylaxBenjamin]

(Benjamin) 5-3 at Gdansk regionals with Terabox, came 309th (+40cp).
List felt pretty good, M-Mawile is defintely worth trying and I would happily run the same 60 back. Losses came from inexperience in the match-up or just not starting fan rotom.

After taking the egg to Frankfurt and playing its final challenge on Saturday, it's time to move onto new lists. Frankfurt ended 4-4 and the challenge I placed 3rd, just missing out on points for both. Goodbye chansey. It's rock time 😎

Not brave enough to play at Frankfurt with Kyla, I stayed home and farmed locals instead. I played in my first (and last) Cup without Top Cut, using a pretty standard Terabox list. ID'd the last round but lost the resistance war to come 2nd (+40cp).

Kyla's Challenge dominance continues, with now 3 out of 4 wins obtained! She is now prepped and ready for Frankfurt! 😎
Despite vowing to play real decks I somehow squeaked into Top 8 with Ho-oh box.

Over the weekend I went to a League Challenge, whilst Benjamin had a lie-in. His loss however, as I placed Top 4 with Chansey Dengo! (+2cp). Now need Top 2 or better to round my challenges for the season.

Kyla takes a break from her dominance, missing her first CP of the year thanks to Crustle. I managed to sneak into Top 8 with my Terabox Charizard pile, however, I was then foiled by the same crabby guy. (+25cp)

Saturday Benjamin finally brought home his first Challenge win of the season (+15cp) with Tera Box Zard! While I ran it back with Dengo Dragapult for the last time placing top 4 (+10cp), only losing to Benjamin in the final round.
