Usage stats
Day 1
Day 2
The number of Day 2 players divided by Day 1 players was 9.0%, which can be used as reference for the conversion rate (i.e. the Day 2 / Day 1 appearance ratio).
Good performances:
- Iron Hands, Therian Forme Landorus and Flutter Mane dominated this event again! It seems the struggle for first place will be going on for a while!
- The highest conversion rate amongst the 10 most used Pokémon was Rapid Strike Style Urshifu (12%). The previous week, in Sacramento, it was the same! If the trend continues, we should expect a rise in Urshifu!
- Other Pokémon with high conversion rates were Heatran (12%) and Chien-Pao (11%).
- Kingambit and Amoonguss made it to the top 12 in Day 2.
Bad performances:
- The lowest conversion rate amongst the 10 most used Pokémon was Iron Hands (7%), who even dropped from first place to third.
- Chi-Yu and Hisuian Arcanine lost its place in top 12 from Day 1 to Day 2.
The event will be broadcast live on Twitch and YouTube, with Aaron Zheng, Sierra Dawn, Maeve O’Rourke and Jake Muller as casters, with Rosemary Kelley managing interviews to round winners and special guests, Pokémon GO caster Stephanie Kristine and former VGC caster Evan Latt.

Overview
The Lille Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the first Regional and second Regional-level event of the 2024 season in the European circuit.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set E, and it is played using open team lists. It is the first major event in Europe to use this ruleset!
A little bit of history
France has been part of the Europe region of the official TPCi circuit for many years. It has hosted multiple major events, including Special Events, Regional Championships and old-era National Championships. France’s greatest VGC success is Hippolyte Bernard‘s top 16 place at the 2022 World Championships, as well as the France National Championship titles won by Adrien Boulet (2010) and Lionel Fey (2011).
The most recent tournament held in France is the 2022 Lille Regional, played in Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield with the VGC Series 12 ruleset in May 2022. The finals saw Frenchman Thomas Gravouille defeat Italian Giulio Tarlao to win his first major title, after failing to do so two months earlier in the Liverpool Regional finals.
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
