Thank you for celebrating one year of Alpensee Tours with us! 🥳 In a fairly diverse Top 8, OgreVGC and Mega Floette triumph in a mirror finals against Alpensee captain Sela. Meanwhile, Maushold wins by doing nothing 🪷🐁 #PlayPokemon #PokemonVGC Check out the full standings and VODs below! 🔽

Stuttgart Results 🇩🇪 No outstanding performances this time, as over half the team fell just short of Day 2 ... However! Both Baked and Sela were featured on the official broadcast, and we rounded out the weekend with some quality time at the Christmas market ☕️🎄 #pokemonvgc #playpokemon

268th at Stuttgart Regionals with AV Pawmot! Very happy with this result, since my goal this weekend was to just have fun with my favorites 🥰 I tried putting all my highlights in one photo! (not pictured: my amazing friends from @alpensee.bsky.social and the DACH and Belgian community) #pokemonvgc

Surprise! We're hosting a special Swiss-only cart tour tomorrow! 🎮 From 7pm CET, we will be playing 4 rounds with no top cut - the Bo3 OTS ladder experience. That way you can join freely to get some in-game practice and still get to bed on time 💤 play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/6... #pokemonvgc

Reaching for the stars in Frankfurt 🏙 Baked proves the power of home advantage by following up a Stuttgart T4 with a T8, while @duckiivg.bsky.social keeps the Day 2 streak going with a win-and-in for Top Cut 🌟 It's a long break until Lille, time for the rest of the team to catch up 🌊 #pokemonvgc

The German-speaking community @vgc-gemeinde.bsky.social is hosting a regional clash and many of our members are representing their home region as players and managers!🇩🇪🇦🇹 This means they will not only be going up against the strongest players in the DACH area but also against each other 👀 #pokemonvgc

What a nailbiter! 👀 After a constant back and forth, our most recent friendly against Team Upper Hands came down to the very final set! Fortunately, we were able to clutch out the win this time 😎 GGs and big respect for drumming up 9 great players on such short notice 🌊 #pokemonvgc

Willkommen zum (Bundes)Länder-Clash! 💥👊 Diese 12 Teams treten an, um zu beweisen, dass ihre Region die stärkste ist. Aber am Ende kann es nur einen Clash-Champion geben! 🏆 Genaue Infos zum Turnierablauf - und dazu wie ihr als Zuschauer mitfiebern könnt - folgen in den nächsten Tagen! #pokemonvgc

Another season, another round of Alpensee appearances at Worlds! Finabas, @im-ryo.bsky.social , Choc & Sela represented us at the most stacked Worlds in history. We'll be back in force next year, see you in SF! 🌊 🌉

Last week VividArise managed to best us in a friendly, but as the saying goes: You either win or you learn! Now the time has come to lock in on cheering on our worlds-players!🌊

Friendly-season continues, as we faced off against Team Switzerland last week! ⛰️ After a rough start we gave them a good fight, but they still managed to eke out the win. Onward and Upward! 🌊

Worlds is just over a week away and what better way to prep than a dedicated Alpensee bootcamp! 🌊 @im-ryo.bsky.social, Sela and Choc got in some serious prep with support from @paulkoll.bsky.social, Markus Hamann, Baked and Incineroar Jr. himself. Now we‘re ready to make big moo-ves! 🐮

We want to give players the opportunity to prep for Worlds, so our Wednesday tours will remain in Regulation I until then 🌎 You can join our tour discord to keep up to date with any news and receive reminders for sign-ups, check-in etc. ➡️ discord.gg/fJBVMmmdDH #pokemonvgc

Locked in for Worlds prep? Struck by off-season boredom? That's prime time for some friendly matches! 🔥 Our first opponents at IlluminaVGC gave us a hard time, but losing is the fastest way to improvement, right? 🌊 We already have some more matches lined up so stay tuned 👀 #PokemonVGC

Proudly presenting our 2025 World Championship Invitees! 🏆 Choc, @im-ryo.bsky.social, Finabas and Sela worked hard to prove their skills and earn their place among Europe's finest 🌟 Now it's time to finish the season with a bang and make some waves on the big stage 🌊 #pokemonvgc #playpokemon

Hunting for those final points at #NAIC 🏅 @shmon.bsky.social fought tooth and nail, even winning the friendly fire match, but fell just short of the goal. However, @im-ryo.bsky.social managed to secure his last-minute invite to Anaheim! 🎉 Time to lock in and prep for world-class competition 🌊

We brought the content to Bologna! 🎥 A spectacular stream match from @im-ryo.bsky.social, a feature interview with @shmon.bsky.social and Choc taking the secret sauce all the way to a Top 64 finish 🐢 And that's a wrap on EU events for this season, but we still have some invites to lock 🌊 #pokemonvgc

Love it or hate it - if you want to go to Anaheim, there's no way around the GC 🎮 Our players pushed through all the highs and lows of disconnects and CTS cheese to make it this far, so check out their total CP gain and best finish in this season's Grand and Global Challenges! #pokemonvgc

Utrecht Results 📝 The end of the season is closing in and we are on the hunt for those final points with four Day 2s and a Top Cut Win & In for Choc! Only Bologna and NAIC left to lock our invites 🌊 #pokemonvgc

The goat of VGC Math @paulkoll.bsky.social returns with another blogpost, this time explaining why Urshifu Rapid Strike sits at 40% usage while Single Strike is nowhere to be seen. Well, not really, but you might learn something interesting about the way damage is calculated! #pokemonvgc

Paul Koll@paulkoll.bsky.social · 2y ago

I'm back with a new article about why the damage rolls for Surging Strikes are more consistent than for Wicked Blow. If you enjoy reading this article let me know, i might torture myself by calculating the damage rolls for Scale Shot and Population Bomb! medium.com/@paulkoll/wh...

Am 10. Mai darf ich endlich meinen ersten eigenen Double Header hosten 🥳 Mainz liegt super zentral und ist auch von Frankfurt fix zu erreichen, also kommt vorbei! Um 13:30 ist Einlass, Voranmeldung ist nicht zwingend nötig (aber hilft mir planen) 🥰 #pokemonvgc Links zum Eventfinder ⬇️

Regulation I has officially started and Caly-Shadow has already established itself as a top tier threat 🐴 Catching a min attack Calyrex in-game can seem like a hassle, but did you know there's an easy way to check Atk IVs before throwing the ball? Here's how! 🌱 #pokemonvgc #playpokemon

No European major without Alpensee! Our lone warrior @paulkoll.bsky.social went all the way to Spain to do us proud, recovering from a 0-1 start to play in his second ever win-and-in 🙌 Now he can finally leave Reg G behind to join our double-restricted prep for Utrecht 🌊 #pokemonvgc #playpokemon

I have just published my new article about compound probabilities in Pokémon! I explain why it feels like moves miss more often than they should, how this can impact a tournament, and introduce a tool to help players estimate how much RNG they can afford. medium.com/@paulkoll/ch...

Another great article with a fun new perspective on things to keep in mind, also introducing one of the greatest acronyms of all time. Hint: it's a strong contender for the name of Kalosian Wynaut's new evolution

Check out this article our member Paul wrote! It presents an overview of common traps in decision-making and pitfalls we might not always be aware of. Has your inner Latios cost you a game recently? #pokemonvgc #playpokemon

Stockholm Results 📝 Usually, this is where we would highlight our Day 2 players but as you can see, this was not our weekend 😢 However, being a team is about more than just celebrating success together, so we won't let this get us down 🌊 #pokemonvgc #playpokemon
