Great vids! Tsuji really knows how to use Toxicroak. My one (similar set but probably different EVs) was nowhere near that successful, and I've still had a lot of experience using Toxicroak. He usually goes down to any old strong STAB move, though. Stuff like Metagross meteor mashes usually OHKO.
Grace did make a couple of misplays though. Namely the first turn of match 2- fake out-ing Empoleon while flamethrowering Toxicroak would've led to a flinched Empoleon and 'meh' damage on Slowking at the very least, in the in best case scenario could've meant a heavily-damaged Toxicroak, flinched Empoleon, and minorly damaged Ludicolo instead of basically no effect whatsoever. Still, two great players who've managed to get through so many tough battles.

Well, PokemonSunday has aired in Japan I believe since that one guy on youtube posted the hg/ss "update" already. hopefully somebody was able to see if there was any worlds footage aired. =)
If I was in California at the time I totally would have gone down to hang with yall. Sadly, that was not the case :(
Anyway, it sounds like people had an awesome time, and I hope that next year I can meet up with some of you at an LA VGC.

Best of luck to everyone competing at the next VGCs, come on Ubers VGC.
Hey guys, I had a question about this tournament and I hope it isn't already answered/stupid, I just couldn't find it anywhere. I was just wondering why Tyranitar was a banned pokemon? Several "ubers" are legal in Latios, Garchomp, etc, so what made Tyranitar, a readily available and easy to catch pokemon illegal?

Banned deucer.
Tyranitar evolves at level 55, it's a level 50 tournament.

If the reason T-tar is banned is because it evolves at level 55, why is dragonite not banned?

XD Dude. It ended like a few weeks ago! XD
I'm surprised that this thread is still open...knowing that it has been nearly a month since it ended...Any new news for next year available that we are aware of as of now?
