My name is Paul Ruiz aka Ralfdude. I won the VG Pokemon World Championships in 2018 and finished 3rd in Worlds 2017. I've been playing Pokemon competitively since 2013. Pokemon is my life. I've traveled to lots of different countries to play Pokemon and I've always been a very competitive person in everything I do and Pokemon is no exception. Some people have told me I am considered the best Pokemon VGC player of generation 7 of Pokemon, mainly because of my results back-to-back in the World Championships of 2017 and 2018, getting 3rd and 1st place respectively. I am also considered part of the top 5 Pokemon players of all time. I started to work as a VGC coach in 2019 and decided to do it full-time in 2020. During this journey as a coach, I've had the pleasure of working with lots of different players, like: newer players, veteran players, streamers, YouTubers, and junior and senior players. I've also had the privilege of working with people from all around the world! To mention a few of the countries: US, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Spain, Sweden, Russia, Singapore, and many more!
