The Pokémon North America International Championship (NAIC) has been full of surprises so far, with off-meta picks thriving. Dot Esports spoke to 2023 EUIC champ Paul Chua to discuss the weirdest Pokémon he’s encountered at the event and why this is a good sign moving forward in the competitive scene.
Dot Esports is at NAIC with travel provided by The Pokémon Company to speak with top VGC players like Paul Chua about all the oddball ‘mons in the current Regulation G format. We saw the EUIC champ make a stream appearance during his Swiss round 12 match against Shiliang Tang. Chua might’ve lost the match, but he pointed out one bizarre Pokémon on his opponent’s team—Wo-Chien.
