Bloomfield Pokémon League

Pittsburgh, PA

Gym Leader Challenge

2025-2026 Season

July

This was a 12-player event, 11 Masters and 1 Junior. Nolan (4-0) remained stoic and heroic with his Tyranitar Hitmoncombo deck despite facing every Psychic player in the room, earning his Fighting Badge. brooke (3-1) was the runner up with its well-known take on Crispin Munkidori, running out of steam in a fantastic match against Nolan in the final round. Zack (3-1) is finding his ground with the most popular spread archetype at the moment, and Avery (2-2) has taken a liking to their spin on the traditional Psychic list by incorporating the Rebel Clash Dragapult, a miniature version of Dragapult ex that does respectable damage and places 3 damage counters on the bench however it likes (not to mention the obnoxious Inflitrator Ability!)

  2. brooke english on Crispin Munkidori (Psychic)
