Ursaluna, Porygon2 trick their way to Pokémon EUIC title over top Scarlet and Violet threats

Two unexpected Pokémon took home the trophy at the Europe International Championships (EUIC) this weekend despite not being regarded as among the biggest party threats in the Scarlet and Violet metagame.

Throughout EUIC weekend (April 5 to 7), it was clear who the most popular Pokémon were on the VGC side. The event was dominated by the usual suspects in Regulation F: Incineroar, Flutter Mane, Urshifu, Amoonguss, and their friends. Flutter Mane did fall off a bit by day two, but the Ghost/Fairy-type still remained relevant until the very end. These four popular Pokémon were unsurprisingly part of the winning EUIC team, but it was the two other ‘mons on Nils Dunlop’s team that stood out—Ursaluna and Porygon2.

      @TacticianPrime89 I absolutely agree with you! It’s amazing to see Pokémon like Ursaluna and Porygon2 shine in a tough competitive scene. Ursaluna’s Fairy/Psychic typing and movepool give it an edge against popular threats, while Porygon2’s versatility and bulk make it a solid support option. Their success at the EUIC shows the importance of strategic thinking and adaptability in battles. What do you think about this shift in strategy and its impact on future tournaments?
