Helped me get a basic understanding of how to draft in a draft league and the current metagame. 100% recommend a session if you are new to draft leagues.

Zack was super flexible with me, doing a same-day session that went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommended!

Zach is a great coach. He explained the basics of VGC to me. Before the coaching I was losing probably 90% of the games, now I definitely win more than I lose!

Even for an experienced coach, Zach has something to offer. He helped me adjust to a new draft style and gave me plenty of useful tips for the future.

I thoroughly enjoyed the session it felt more like talking to a friend than a coach which was really nice. Also just the confidence booster that you gave me.

Zach is both a very knowledgeable coach and very easy to get on with. He helped me realise the full potential of my team 4 W1. Would recommend a session to all.

Frequently asked questions
What the heck is Pokemon Draft?
Picture Pokemon meeting fantasy football - you draft a team from a tier list, prepare one team each week based on your opponent's draft, and battle it out to reach playoffs and win the league championship!
Do you coach VGC?
I do! Singles is my pride and joy, but I've coached VGC for multiple years and have a lot of knowledge of the format.
Why would I need a coach?
Pokemon draft, like singles or VGC, takes a lot of time to adjust to and learn the nuances of drafting, prepping, and battling. I can offer you the best insight into the format and the quickest acceleration into your peak performance.
Why should I be coached by you?
While I'm not the number one ranked player, I have both beaten the best and coached individuals that have beat the best. I'm the first sponsored Pokemon Draft Format coach, and have many top players and clients to back up my experience.
What does draft coaching entail?
I offer everything from simple weekly teambuilding commissions to full season coaching - everything coaches from any skill level (and price!) can use!
Do you coach during a game?
NO - this is known as ghosting and is not allowed during games. I will do everything I can beforehand to set you up for success, and watch with the rest of the spectators as you play (and win!)
