The first ever World Cup of Pokémon took place twenty years ago in 2005 and left pretty much no trace at all on these forums. It so happens that this tournament didn't happen in 2007, as Smogon was in a transition phase between simulators, which means that WCoP 2025 was also the 20th edition of the World Cup of Pokémon. In order to celebrate this important milestone for one of the most historically rich tournament on the site, I took it upon myself to restore lost and old data sets with the ultimate goal of crafting this spreadsheet. Here we are after a bit more than a year of effort, I hope everyone can enjoy this archive in some way!
There's a few dropdown lists and checkboxes you can use to customize search results as you please, feel free to try that out! As always, if you got any inquiry feel free to reach out.
