Hey all! Wanted to give my followers a heads up that for the most part I'll only be using this account to post updates on events I'm working and to share public rentals that get posted here. Everything else is moving... elsewhere. See you there!

[Pokémon Champions @Pokemon_Champs]

Official #PokemonChampions tournaments are HERE!

Check out the team used by Arsal Puri, your 2026 Indianapolis Regional Champion! 🏆

@_emeraldellie it's the ricotta for me

[Wolfey @WolfeyGlick]

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!

@lorcylovesyou Wait this is actually disgusting strength of schedule

[EternalSnowman @EternalSnowman]

T4 at Indy! Happy to finally make it back to Top 8, especially in the first tour on Champions! Team was awesome, happy to be able to use some of my all time favorites! Not quite locked for Worlds, so gotta lock back in for NAIC.

[Shiliang Tang @tsltang0508]

Finished my Indianapolis Regional at 9-3. Haven’t played for the whole season and feels good about able to come back to VGC again. Met a lot of old friends feels good.

Thanks for @ValentineVGC_ for passing me the team and @WilliamTheShuai for prep together

@sunoru_sidw Loved loved loved this team. Looking forward to seeing the NAIC run!

Congratulations to Arsal Puri, your 2026 #PokemonVGC Indianapolis Regional Champion! 🏆

[Evan L. @NBplaid]

What an incredible weekend to launch chamPions! Congrats to @SalTheDealer on a completely dominant top cut run and thank you to everyone in our top cut for showing us the depth of expression in this format. I can't wait to see how this keeps developing with Turin and NAIC soon!

[Arsal Puri @SalTheDealer]

I started VGC in 2014 due to a video @CybertronVGC posted. To read this is truly amazing. Thank you Zheng for being my coach all these years.

This top table meta is disgusting I can't wait for the OTS to be released. So much cool stuff out here!

@lorcylovesyou Classic too smart lorcy

[Scott Glaza @PKMNostrom]

Tommy was clean-shaven when round 4 started

[Scott Glaza @PKMNostrom]

Seems a lot of people are thinking this is new in Champions, and I didn’t explain this super well live, but this is not a new mechanic, just a very esoteric one! I had been thinking it had changed to be so at some point before Champions, but apparently it has always been this way

Big brain moves 🤯

Joshua Lorcy selects a status move to avoid the inevitable Sucker Punch. But thanks to Encore from Whimsicott, Mega Delphox gets locked into Heat Wave, avoids the Sucker Punch, and secures the win!
