If you are alone in Frankfurt for EUIC and/or don’t speak German, feel free to DM me. I am not a top player, but I am fun dude to hang out with! I will be there Thu around lunch time. Playing Pokemon should be a fun experience and with new friends is even better! 🔥☀️

Yesterday I finished top8 in @JoeUX9 UX9 Tour 2, with a final score of 8-3. The funny bit is that I lost only to 3 German players. Jokes apart, I am really happy I was able to perform well my first legendary. Thank you master of time!

This weekend I wanted to bring home at least a Day 2, but I felt one game short. Bas played that Bax so well, and deserved to bring home the win and in. EUIC is next, and more training is needed if I want to compete among top players. Forza @TeamAqua_offic 🔵⚪️ 450/400

Gdànsk wasn’t the tour I wanted it to be as I closed 5-4. Still happy that despite my mediocre result, mental game is getting stronger. After losses I am not tilting, and I am able to congratulate my opponent even when they beat me. I feel that I am growing. 192/400 #ForzaTA

After building in BDSP an Articuno team, I did the same in S12. Here it is the result. Almost every second team has Gastrodon and Freeze-dry is 4x. Probably spreads could be better, but the team is still fun to play. Try it out, and make opponents rage with Spec Scarf. 😈

To everyone who needs to hear this: being drafted at 3k in the NPA doesn’t mean you are bad. I was drafted third from last on my roster, but I’m super happy that I could participate in the competition. If I was able to go 5-1 and help my team secure the playoffs, so can you!

Reflecting a bit on what happened during the tour today, I have to say big thanks to @fevzioe . We played in swiss and beat me, badly. However, he was so nice to encourage me to still give my best, and I did make top cut! Thanks man! I wish there were more players as nice as you!

Stopped at 1669 since I didn't want to risk it given the standing. This was way harder than the last qualifier given the amount of Asians try harder with Venu-Zard on the last day. For your reference, the team with Zygarde was at 1715. This IC was WILD.
