Can’t believe I won Toronto! Thank you all for your support this weekend. I have made it back home safely with co-MVPs Medicham and Froslass holding down the fort.
So relieved to hit legend today in
#GoBattleLeague
! My ultra premier line of Dragonite-Swampert-Magnezone carried but I had to win the last game in Holiday Cup.
In honor of the unexpected early GBL leaderboard in S9, I tried to “speedrun” my way to Ace in S10 by only winning required games. Apparently the early sets matter a lot for placement.
Actual top cut! Wasn’t planning on attending Toronto but got lucky friends with
@hsineerg
mid-week so had to come. Thanks to

for the team to steal.
Debuting at
#1
on the PlayPokemon leaderboard 🔥. It is capped to a best finish limit of 5 and I already have 5 counted tourneys so fully expecting to be caught as the season progresses.
First time legend achieved!! 😭🎉
There really aren’t words to express what achieving this milestone means to me, or the immense gratitude I feel to all those who helped get me to this point. Nevertheless, here goes my best shot!

It’s 2AM and my emotions are overcoming me. My Salt Lake tournament run is over. Happy to have made it on stream and put on a show. At least I didn’t go 0-2. On to San Diego!
The best part of Pokémon GO regional tournaments is getting to make new friends! GGs to

Emotions overcoming me. By far my best

tournament run. Joined the “1 win away from worlds club”. Congrats to my teammate
@Jmillz113
for qualifying to worlds.
#NAIC
Emotions overcoming me as I head back from SoCal. Only got to play four battles in San Diego but had an awesome time meeting new people! Was also able to hit L50 and watch a great football game!

Had a great time in Charlotte seeing teammates + friends for the first time in ages.
Finished T-25 for +60 points but knowing I missed win conditions in losses stings.
What the heck was I thinking at NAIC (1/x)
Overall thoughts: Proud of the top cut especially bouncing back from the embarrassing set vs Crimson on stream but still felt like I botched the best opportunity I’ll ever get to make it to worlds.
The streak ends at 11. For the first time I will not finish on the final GBL leaderboard. Peaked at 3386 a couple nights ago and was outplayed from that point on. No excuses just got to keep working to get better.
Emotions overcoming me.
@NEBattlers
run is over in the semis. Personally went .500 vs some of the best battlers in the world. Love this team and looking forward to competing in future formats.
My
@dracoviz
profile updated! Three new badges unlocked😻. The "see games" feature for a tournament is such amazing tool (also
@mxchmp
's 6th was a Charjabug-RK9 issue but she was allowed to use it)
Maybe if I Tweet, it will come? We are getting close to the first legends of S11 and it would be nice to see that race unfold officially rather than the current 'Twitter leaderboards'
1/2 Not sure who has to hear this: but Gfisk isn't meta because of its moves, typing or stats, it’s the combo of all 3. There is no precedent for changing typing or stats & the only way to make its moveset worse is to either 1) make a change that has significant collateral damage
The day of reckoning has come: Niantic forced unclaimed sets to count. 94 trainers dropped MMR w/o playing another battle (9 gained). Another 28 dropped off entirely from 8/30 update. Minimum down 11 MMR.
Heard lots of stories over the years about trainers who say their heyday was back before the leaderboard was documented. We were able to track down the S1-S3 daily info. Come check it out😄
Thank you for all of your feedback on Player Profiles, we have updated the site to include GBL Seasons 1-3!
Also, we have created a form for players who have had IGN changes, please fill this out so we can update your profiles!
Hopefully I did enough for the end-of-season leaderboard (3429/3440 were S8 cutoffs when final MMR was/was not forced). Thanks to the meta setters

The leaderboard streak will last another season! After dropping down to 3088 yesterday I was able to become a 3400 pioneer today. Thank you Niantic for the extra battles and
