Where to find the leaderboard for Pokemon TCG Live?
Hello Pokemon Community! 🖐️
It seems that the Pokemon TCG leaderboard on championships.pokemon.com is only for offline tournaments, which I didn't realize at first, that's why I'm creating another thread (and sorry about 2 threads but the previous one can be removed, I can't do it myself).
So my main question now is where can I actually find the leaderboard for Pokemon TCG Live?
Also what exactly is this is this VGC on the leaderboards page? As I understand it's some kinda video game but that's all I know.
Cheers

You can't find it because there isn't one in TCG Live... the closest thing to it is the ranked ELO, but it isn't the same at all.
As for VGC, those are the main video games like Scarlet and Violet, which are unrelated to the TCG.

Yes, exactly… to check it, you go directly to the Ranked battle menu in-game... unfortunately that's the best we have now… tho I have hope that one day we will have a real leaderboard.

Thanks for the answer @DoubleCure! It's a pity that there aren't leaderboards. I believe there were when it was still Pokemon TCG Online a few years ago, I only started playing Live very recently.
But regarding that ranked ELO, is it possible to actually see it anywhere? Coz atm there is no way to properly compare yourself with other players, except for playing online battles but even there I can't see what level my opponents are or anything, so it doesn't give a very good picture tbh.

You're welcome. Indeed it's a shame that TCG Live doesn't have it... and yes the good old TCG Online used to have several leaderboards actually (by format, country, and even continent) outside the game on the official Pokemon website.
As for the ELO unfortunately no... beyond being able to track your own rank there isn't an actual ELO leaderboard.

Come to think of it why isnt there a leaderboard for this game?! I dont think its hard for them to add.
Old tcg had it and it was so detailed to the point it showed u the region, main and sub deck they played.. wr % and all.
Its up to them but i dont see why they dont add it

Indeed… it could even be like the old TCG Online (which was separate from the game on the Pokemon website), it gave competitive players extra motivation.
I remember being seasson number one worldwide several times in Theme, and even reaching the worldwide top 10 in Standard for a few weeks, Expanded was much harder to get to the top… good old times.

Yes, @DoubleCure and @CoolmasterJG, I also think that the leaderboards should be there (either in game or on the website, at least somewhere) and that it shouldn't really be that difficult to implement them! Tbh I expected that there are leaderboards, so I was disappointed when I found out there are aren't :/ Besides Pokemon TCG Online that had leaderboards there are many other games that do, e.g. Rocket League and World of Tanks that I have played in the past. In a game like Pokemon TCG Live it's really an obvious feature to have that adds an extra layer of competitiveness to the game. And there is no way to know your real level without them unless you take part of many tournaments or sth (I don't even know how those work, I found a website with schedules tho).
So is there a good place where to make feature suggestions to developers? Maybe if enough players are interested they'd add them.

You're in the right place to share your suggestions with the mods, who supposedly forward them to the devs… tho we've been asking for a leaderboard for years and so far… nothing but silence from their end.
