Finals The World Cup of Pokémon 2025 - Finals [Won by Team Italy]
- Thread starter UT
- Start date
US West (1) vs. (2) Italy
SV OU: Attribute vs. zS - zS is undeniably on a heater this SPL, but Attribute gave me the beat down of a lifetime in a random Smogon Tour. It felt like he had the Mangekyo Sharingan, the way he knew exactly what I was going to do. I can’t possibly bold against this manifestation of greatness.
SM OU: emforbes vs. Empo - Empo is the greatest pokemon player to ever live. Emforbes has the ability to win this game, showcased by some incredible SPL performances, but bolding against Empo is purely contrarian. While a young Arnold had photos of the previous great bodybuilders in his room as a child, an aspiring young Pokemon player should look no further than the greatest to ever grace our website with his presence, Empo.
SV Ubers: Frito vs. Punny - In a moment so big, I take the player with more experience who has proven to be nothing short of a legend himself.
Of everyone on Italy, open shot, the martians have the death beam pointed at earth, you better hit it, fate of the universe on the line, I wantSantu Punny.
Holy heater, this might be the greatest tiebreak of all time. I only hope the games live up to the hype.

Big s/o to RichardMillePlain Gondra and Mada for helping untill the end and to Punny for learning the tier in one week
MA CHE CAZZOOOOO CI VOLEVA TRICKING PER VINCERE DI NUOVO STO TOUR.
After losing in final last year it wasn’t at all obvious that we would get back to this level but thanks to our strength and our teamwork we managed to do better than last year. Once again, it’s been a pleasure being part of this group and sharing these days with all of you.
A special thanks to:
Niko – Thank you for wanting to repeat last year's experience in this edition. Only who knows how much effort you put into it know how much you truly care about this group. Even though you couldn’t participate in the early stages, you were ready to step in at any moment if needed. And let’s not forget how you "clutched" the final game, despite the pressure and a tough opponent. As captain, you took on the biggest responsibility and carried us to the tb. Sei il vero Gizzler.
Tricking – We've been friends for many years and have played other tournaments together, but this was the first time, since I've been on this site, that I saw you play and I was impressed. Your aura and your legend haven't faded, and I don’t think any opponent would want to face you. Your return was the magical touch that gave us the energy to go all the way. You are an essential part of this triumph, King.
Raiza – I can easily say that you are my role model on this site: intelligent, tactical, versatile, experienced, and clever. This year, you took on SS once again, even though you didn’t feel like playing, and you’re one of the unluckiest players ever. For this reason, your score doesn’t reflect your skill at all. I also want to thank you for all the crucial advice you gave us throughout the season.
Empo – The strongest and most feared player on the site, but also the humblest. Once again, you carried us hard, and with your double win in the TB, you allowed us to reach this win. It’s always a pleasure teaming up with you, We finally managed to get you a trophy. POTENZA.....
Santu – It's clear to everyone now that you’ve become a top 3 player on the site, with the sand or not. You’ve shown that you’re on another level, and these two trophies in a short time are proof of that. Hard work always pays off and this is just the beginning.
zS – It seems like you’ve found your magic formula to win in this cursed tier. Your impressive records in wcop and spl are the result of pure training and skill. Even though the last game went badly and cost you your unbeaten streak, your performance still absolutely monstrous . I hope you can reach your goals in the future.
Punny – A pioneer of strategy, always coming up with fresh and innovative ideas across all tiers. Without your teams, Tricking would be nothing! It wasn’t your best tour in terms of results but you worked really hard to help others. When your best performance was needed, you gave it your all. You shouldered the burden of playing a TB final in a tier you weren't very familiar with as a true player. As always, you clutched it and showed everyone how it’s done... Sei il GOAT.
entrocefalo – For two years now, you’ve carried the weight of playing Ubers without us being able to give you much support. With your dedication, gameplay and analysis, you’re on another level. Unfortunately, the tier is very coinflip, and it’s hard to stay consistent, but you remain a crucial point of reference for us. Thanks to you, we didn’t have to slot Kibo as a starter.
Kebab mlml – IL GIZZLER IN PERSONA! Your record is impressive, and you’ve had fun and made everyone else have fun with your unique and exotic teams, along with the plays that only you can make when you’re locked in. Stick to your ideas and don’t let others flood your mind with negative thoughts about the team ahahahaha
Pais – This WCOP was definitely the one where you had the least fun, both because of your score and some internal situations. You lost a bit of focus, but I’m sure that in future tournaments, you’ll come back stronger and give your best.
Un possibile risultato negativo non potrà togliere ciò che ho fatto prima e ciò che farò in futuro
– Frontman
JUST ONE GALATINA – Your first year as a starter wasn’t easy at all and you’ve become Corphish 2 ahahaha. Don’t give up results will come with the right commitment. As a support, you remain a fundamental figure for the whole team.
H.M.N.I.P – You came back to play after a long time just for us. You put in a lot of effort and played two different tiers with great results. What I’ll miss the least about this WCOP are your daily "everyone" messages haha. Anyway, you’re a player to respect for giving up an appointment to play your game. HAI GASATO
Kibo –
kibotrophy2025
Laroxyl – It wasn't an easy time for you, having to play a tier you weren’t familiar with, but you gave it your 100%, as always. This trophy is well-deserved, especially after last year’s performance.
StepC – Even though you were always in the back and didn’t get the chance to play, you grinded a lot, both before and during the tournament. These efforts are really appreciated, so keep it up!
Ale Duncan – Avatar + trophy stolen! Hai gasato e non poco ahahah
Lastly, a special thanks to everyone who helped us, particularly LittleBigPlanet2 , who’s been supporting us continuously for the past two years, an absolute goat. A big thanks also to Mada , Micciu , RichardMillePlain , all the friends from Filo Gang, Judgment Fleet, anyone who helped with test games or prep, and everyone who cheered for us. E' stato un anno fantastico

shoutouts to Gondra for giving me games, Mada for help with scout and games but mostly to entrocefalo and RichardMillePlain for the insane work they did in teaching me metagame related stuff, huge insight on prep and also a lot of games. Y'all are amazing and I absolutely couldn't have done this without you.
Also special thanks to my managers (and teammates) for trusting me in such an important game despite a 0-3 start, it means a lot
CAMPIONIIIIIIIIIIIII
