I'll be posting all announcements here, but otherwise feel free to use this space to talk about anything related to the tournament. Hype up yourself and others, recruit for your team, or tell me why the formats I chose are all horrible and should be replaced with VGC 2016.

I doubt he WON'T be drafted but anyone who passes on Mosquito will regret it.
Vouching for the usual suspects: Code, Oops, Volcaronavgc, and Monai

Monai is literally a vgc 2013 beast; don't interact with him much but he seems always humble as well, which is great in team environments

Oops and Code were vital to VDL; Oops is an old gen god who could play anything, finding stability in the more sacky formats like Orre Cup, and Code was our VDL teams vgc 2013 player which he preformed greatly in, considering how much jank happens in VGC 2013 before flexing to DPP DOU in finals tiebreaks and winning (A flexible player)

Volcaronavgc is a non toxic player with really good fundamentals in all doubles formats. She's always a pleasure to play against.

(I doubt any of these names weren't already considered but better to shill than not shill)


Although for myself... I like mons and I don't have any ego to protest being a sub; VGC 2013 is my only tier listed as played but idm playing other tiers if you love risking. Also willing to provide practices for those who need it and I don't have an ego to be mad if I'm a sub player.

VGC 2013 Player Results and Shout-Outs

Here are results for registered players in tournaments since the previous PL Classics. My assessment covers how well they performed as competitors; this doesn't cover their social skills or how well they work on a team. I learned the latter is equally as important to managers as player strength, so do your research and DM previous team tournament managers for their thoughts on players.

Results
The table below shows the results of every player who signed up for VGC 2013 this Classics PL and competed in a VGC 2013 competitive event in the past year. Out of almost 100 sign ups, only 26 players have actually played in a recent VGC 2013 event.

Mosquito's Shout-outs

oopsgtg is considered the strongest active Gen. 3-5 VGC player. He's remarkably consistent in both his results and playstyle. His teambuilding is boring but practical and almost always delivers top cut results.

Jaden_Copeland is one of the most active VGC 2013 players and has the results to back it up. He has strong opinions for and against certain Pokémon species but manages to make his choices work.

Charliezard7 is an active player with above-average results. What makes him unique is his unorthodox teambuilding. He finds ways to make off-metagame choices work on a team.

While less active in the community Monai , Code , and volcaronavgc have shown strong results in tournaments. All three of them would work well for their team's VGC 2013 slot.

EmbCPT isn't an active 2013 player. However, when he opted to ladder in October 2025, he got undisputed 1st place. He's also the 2022 World Champion.

MosquitoVGC plays this format and Black2 version way too much.
