EU Server Migration and Faster Matchmaking

We’ve migrated National Dex Champions to a new EU server! You may experience some instability while I fine-tune the new setup.

Alongside the migration, I’ve introduced a new matchmaking system to keep ladder battles flowing during quieter periods. When activity is low, players may be paired with a competitive Foul Play-powered opponent after approximately 15 seconds in the queue. Regular player-versus-player matches will always take priority and can still begin immediately.

Annihilape re-test and Sleep Suspect Test

National Dex Champions OU will be suspecting sleep and annihilape. To qualify as a voter, you must reach 1200 on the ladder this season before Sunday 5th July 22:00 GMT +1. There is no requirement to make a new account for this suspect test, those who have already reached 1200+ ELO are pre-qualified to vote.
