Ever wanted to get into the Worlds 2010 format, but weren’t sure where to start? Tried looking online for content, but couldn’t find much? Gave it a try with your friend’s decks but didn’t understand the cards? Bored of standard or just want to learn another retro format? Look no further!
I wrote this (free!) article with the goal of introducing newer players to what I think is one of, if not the, greatest format in Pokémon TCG history, DP-UL / Worlds 2010. It’s about 8000 words, and I go over format-specific rules, interactions, important cards, metagame and history, and most importantly, a little bit on every popular deck (15+ total), with my current personal lists included. It’s aimed at players who have (at least) a decent grasp of the game but little to no knowledge of the format. Also, lots of pictures :)
I’ve been working on this since the DialgaChomp article, so please give it a read!! Link below or in my bio ⬇️
Didn't bring a standard deck to Baltimore so @christmastcg helped me get crusty. went 0-1-1 into auto losses, 1-1 into inherently unfavored matchups, 3-0 into favored matchups that had crustle techs. told someone "hell no" when asked to fist bump a "fellow crustle player"

Just finished my very first deck guide on DialgaChomp, one the best (and one of my favourite) decks in the WCS 2010 format, and one that I think many people are playing completely wrong.
It’s nearly 13,000 words, goes into great detail on every card choice, tech options, general strategy, and specific matchups, and of course, is completely free, so I’d love if you gave it a read. Link below or in my bio! ⬇️

31-3 at locals with Beedril from July 1 to now. Playing other stuff once pitch black is legal. one loss was crustle. swapped switch for Chien pao a few times but the watchtower counter is just getting luckier.
Made a spreadsheet breaking down how all of North America actually qualified for worlds. was going to do a longer write but but I don't think I need to do all that to tell you to attend PR SPE. 1/x
docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
the CP breakdown only includes what that player earned off BFL, so it does not include all the finishes players earned, only what actually helped them qualify. there are a few compiled data points at the bottom such as average events attended 4/x
my personal takeaways are: ICs are broken and if you want to stay in region, PR SPE is super high EV. maxing locals is also incredibly important when you don't have the fortune of a top cut at majors or consistent cash finishes (sorry @christmastcg)
