About MetaVGC

Lucas Delmondes — software engineer, based in Brazil — is the founder, lead developer, and maintainer of MetaVGC. He owns the product, writes the code, and keeps integrations and data flows up to date. He is also an active Pokémon VGC player and uses the same public tools and datasets linked on this site when practicing and following the metagame.

Experience combines professional software development with ongoing engagement in the VGC competitive scene: following official formats, tournament results, usage trends, and community team ideas. Expertise is in building clear, reliable tools that aggregate and present that information — not in issuing official Pokémon rulings, which always belong to The Pokémon Company and tournament staff.

Authority for the numbers and team ideas shown here comes from transparent attribution to established sources (listed below). MetaVGC does not invent usage statistics; it organizes and surfaces data from those references. Trust means naming sources, reading bug reports and feedback, and keeping content decisions independent of optional tips or advertising.

Clear usage and team insights, practical suggestions grounded in what players and events are actually running, and tools that stay out of your way while you theorycraft or prep for your next event.

We combine and present data from trusted community and competitive sources, including:
