Tough worlds run this year. I was really proud of our team and prep leading up, just couldn’t put it together on the big day. The team is much stronger than our results show, and got me to Champions Tier for the first time! Team includes some fun picks, Replica Code below! ⚡️🌸

I won the 2026 San Juan Special Championships! It’s a small event but it means a whole lot to me after a down stretch that left me doubting myself. It means even more to cap off the SV era with a win for this team we have worked so hard on.

gg to @koon_ky for being the first to get the answer. I won't spoil it here, you can check their reply. Many others got it too. But wait! Bonus puzzle? Basc has Flash Fire now (wtf?) so the old plan is foiled. But there's a terrain adjustment as well. Find the new 100% win!
Are you a puzzle champ 2 years in the making? Find the sequence of moves to win the game 100%* of the time (with the given conditions). There's a lot of info to look at, so no time limit on this one. Good luck! RTs are appreciated if you enjoyed!

Top 16 Toronto Regionals! Back-to-back Top 16’s feels so amazing, and finally getting a win on stream was a cherry on top. Thanks to everyone for all the support, this weekend was so fulfilling and I’m truly overjoyed. (I love psyspam!)

Finished 35th in the 2024 VGC World Championships! After such a special season, and over a month of hard work preparing for this tournament paying off, I feel so insanely happy. Despite falling just short of cut I’m incredibly proud of this accomplishment on the world stage.

Clear Amulet Hatterene. Lots of talk about why I used this, people saying it must be to stop parting shot from switching Hatt. That’s exactly right. Except it doesn’t work. Magic Bounce activates first. But be honest… would you call the bluff and use parting shot anyway? 😎

Top 32 at the biggest regional of all time. Such an amazing run, just ran out of gas at the end against some great opponents. I truly believe this is the strongest team in the format. Thanks as always to @KortexVGC for the team and the Lilypad boys for everything.

Finished 30th at Pittsburgh! People can hate on this team all they want, but it’s got results now. @KortexVGC is one of the best teambuilders in the world and I’m so glad I could take his creation to a day 2. Great start to the season! Shoutout to the Lillypad Boys. 🐻🦧🐢🐭🐟🐻 – at Pittsburgh, PA
