Players put everything into their teams last weekend to make sure they would finish in the Top 12 for the season and earn the much-coveted Worlds invite. Here we have the teams that made the Top 32 cut in the Masters Division at the 2013 United States Pokémon Video Game National Championships. Of the Top 4 players, 19 different Pokémon were used in the 24 possible team slots. Overall, 51 different Pokémon helped their trainers achieve the cut this year:

Frequency Per Pokémon
Keep in mind that this only counts for the Top 32 Cut! If a Pokémon appears even once on this list you should probably take a look at its properties. Anything that appears more than a few times is a Pokémon to watch out for. And of course, if you hit the double digits, that’s a Pokémon you’ll absolutely need to account for to win.
