The Pokémon Go roster for the Dortmund Regionals featured teams with similar Pokémon but incredibly different strategies, making for a fascinating watch.

Final usage statistics from Pokémon Dortmund Regionals

Here are the final usage statistics from the second day of the Pokémon Dortmund Regional Championships.

Some decks and Pokémon are unsurprising—after all, it’s hardly a shock to see a Charizard-Pidgeot deck or Rillaboom performing well—but there are some creative picks.

Terapagos ex stood out as one of the shining stars of the Dortmund Regional Championships, reaching new heights with the addition of the ever-lethal Dusknoir. With the right build and roster of Supporters, the Terastal turtle can deal some significant damage.

Other community favorite decks made an impact here, too, with Raging Bolt ex, Charizard-Pidgeot, and Regidrago VSTAR popping up as the next most popular picks.

Seeing Dragapult ex so low down the list comparatively may come as a surprise to some, especially considering how well this deck did overall. It’s worth keeping an eye on how Dragapult ex evolves over the next few months and during the next Play! Pokémon events, as it’s a wickedly dangerous deck.

While there were a few wildcard picks here, some Regulation H staples made their presence known in this event.

With a mighty 41.6% usage on the second day of Dortmund Regionals, Rillaboom stands out as the most popular pick by far—and it’s easy to see why. This starter ‘mon is a powerhouse in its own right, with a wide variety of possible builds and abilities on offer, lending itself nicely to several popular team formats.

Other staples like Amoonguss, Incineroar, and Gholdengo were spotted during this event too, popping up in a number of teams on the final leaderboard. Out of this trio, Gholdengo caused the most havoc for its opponents, even appearing in Davide Miraglia’s winning team.

This event highlights just how interesting a format Regulation H is from a competitive aspect, making the next event on the calendar—the Louisville Regional Championships, taking place from October 11-13—even more exciting to think about.

Every single Pokémon shown above appeared on the final, top eight leaderboard in the Pokémon Go section of the Dortmund Regional Championships, with Kazzim33’s winning team featuring six of them.

There’s a relatively clear meta in Pokémon Go right now and the game is still in an exciting spot. Seeing a blend of regular Pokémon, starters, Shadow Pokémon, and legendaries is always intriguing, and the battles from this event showed how wide the competitively viable move pool is, too.

The best thing about seeing Pokémon like Clodsire, Dunsparce, and Azumarill in the line-up for top-tier events is that they’re relatively easy to get in the game, making them accessible picks for a team.

If there’s a team that stood out to you in the Dortmund Regional Championships, why not try recreating it? Trying out teams that your favorite competitors have made is a great way to develop your own skills as a Pokémon Go player, and it can be a lot of fun, too.
