Notes
  • This was the first time the following two things occurred simultaneously at a Regional: 1) the 32-seed entering Day 2 made Top 8, and 2) the 1-seed entering Day 2 failed to make Top 8. (1-Jimmy Pendarvis missed Top 8 while 32-Grant Manley made it in.)

Decklists

Conner LaVelle, 11th - Gardevoir-GX
Player notes:
  • "Oricorio and Sudowoodo both won me games, and they definitely deserved their spots in the deck."
  • "I'd always rather Beacon than [use Tropical Beach]. Alolan Vulpix allows you to Brigette turn one and immediately Beacon rather than Skyla for Beach or hoping you start Brigette + Beach."
  • "Wonder Energy is incredibly useful against both Shell Trap and Dead End GX, as well as a wide range of fringe decks. Enhanced Hammer and Xerosic were pretty uncommon throughout the weekend, so I didn't have too much of an issue with either of those."
