Welcome to the Mudkip Mafia!

We (usually) host bi-weekly tournaments on Pokemon Showdown! and Pokemon Champions, trying to serve as a stepping stone for players to get accustomed to official VGC style tourneys. Playing pokemon here ain't just a hobby - it's serious business baby.

Top Two Players for the tournament get shinies through Pokemon Home. Winner gets to pick first, with the runner up receiving the other. The shinies up for grab this week are:

✨Shiny Swampert and Shiny Ninetales✨
