EUIC 2025 - Wolfe con Perish claims victory

This weekend was fun, fun as in I watched alot of Pokemon VGC matches. That being from the European International Championship 2025. I am always amazed watching the Junior(s) and Senior(s) VGC matches, they can get intense at times, but not as intense as someone going up against "Wolfe Glick" and his Perish Trap team; or as Marco Silva said in a live stream "Wolfey con Perish". That quote will come up everytime we see Wolfe and his Perish Trap teams. I forgot what year it was when, Wolfe showed us Perish Trap on his YT channel. Never mind the year, all that matters is that I have rational fear of going against Perish Trap cause of him and the trainers who followed along his path making Perish Trap teams. I don't know how I would react if I went against (Wolfe con Perish) in tournaments. I would try my best to face my fears and battle it out to the end;  whereas online battles (showdown or cartridge), I will immediately click "Run" on the second or third turn. I hope to one day be able to find an archetype I am good with, something that can beat Wolfe con Perish. Then again thats just a dream, haha cause Wolfe would find a way to beat that archetype no matter what.


Below is both teams that won Wolfe his 10th Regional (Toronto Regional) and (EUIC 2025).

👇 Toronto Regional (December 2024)


^ This team is a trick room + perish trap team. Politoed helps set up the rain, which makes Kingdra faster cause of its ability; also Archaludon is able to use Electro Shot is able to hit immediately in the rain (no waiting a second turn). This was for Reg H meta


👇 European International Championship (February 2025)
Note: the time frame for Wolfe con Perish starts at 8:32:00 


^ With the return of paradox and box legendaries to the meta. Wolfe came up with a different Perish Trap team. The main difference is he is using Scream Tail over Politoed and he has a second fire type on the team (Koraidon).

I look forward to a Junior and Senior division player to use perish trap teams and claim victory. Wolfe would be so proud to have young fans of his archetype.

After Wolfey won the competition, it was revealed he was the mystery trainer that won the Global Challenge 1 in January. When I read that in the Dot eSports article, i was skeptical at first; then I went to the VGC subreddit and Toppo twitter. Looks like they found the mystery winner 33-4. I would never have thought, Wolfey would be the person behind that. I'm still shock that Toppo lose to Wolfey by 2 pts. It was fun watching Toppo play his GC matches on stream and cheering him on. Can't wait for more GC matches and hope Toppo get 1st place next time.

Since I have the Pokemon Day Eevee event in my Scarlet/Violet game. I am having a difficult spot, do I evolve Eevee or keep it as an Eevee and await for a new Eevelution to come out. I would like to use evolve it into Umbreon, but the nature is terrible competitively for a Umbreon. Guess I will just collect ribbons on her from Pokemon Violet, Sword, Legends of Arceus and Shining Pearl.

Pokemon Global Challenge II

Last month, I was disappointed that I missed the registration period for the Pokemon Global Challenge. I had spent several weeks prepping for the competition online. The team, I was suppose to take to the first  Global Challenge, I decided to use for the "Global Challenge II", despite the shift in the meta.  Since January, I have come to like Archaludon and Tornadus somewhat. It is highly known that alot of Tornadus carry "Rain Dance", especially if you see an Archaludon on the team. I found it difficult to setup Rain Dance, and then switch in Archaludon to take a few hits that will boost its defense. Flutter Mane came in handy when I went against a few Trick Room teams.  From my experience in the Global Challenge II, I can see that I need a bit more experience with team building. My competitive team building skills have gone down since, Pokemon ORAS. I strive to make teams that i used to, teams based on Pokemon that are able to beat the top 15 used Pokemon.  I was ...

2024 Orlando Regional

Orlando Regional 2024 Last year I was planning to attend the Orlando Regionals, that making it my first in-person competition. However, I would not be able to save enough money to attend. Maybe one day in the future I will be able to attend. I had a lot of fun watching the 2024 Orlando Regional last week. It wasn't until Swiss Round 8 that I'd realize Wolfe ( Wolfey ) Glick had entered the competition. I slept through most of the rounds from round 3 - 8. It wasn't until I checked the results on RK9's website that I saw Wolfe Glick and Neil Patel ( Neil_VGC ) as competitors. There was no doubt Wolfey would make it to or close to the finals like he has in other competitions. Out of the few trainers, I was rooting for to make it to the finals on Day 2. Neil was someone I have dreamt would make it to the finals. That day would be April 15, 2024, but I never thought I'd see Neil and Wolfey battle in the finals. This match was something I wasn't prepared for. I was...
