Hello! My name is Melvin "Shaman" Keh, I am a Pokemon VGC coach and I hold the record for the most top cuts in International Championships and have top cut the World Championships for 2018 and 2019. I started playing Pokemon VGC since 2014 and have been top on Showdown ladder constantly! I have over 300 hours of coaching experience for players and teams of all skill levels. One of my students, Simone Lim, managed to win an International Championship on her first attempt. We did it within 8 months of coaching.

I won't simply point out your mistakes; I'll also clearly explain how the game functions in general and go over the parts of the game you find challenging. Following our session, you'll be able to see exactly how you can take the next step to improve your game. Every student is important to me, therefore you can be sure that I will always assist, respond to any inquiries, provide precise, individualized follow-ups after our session, and even create a unique training plan just for YOU! In my sessions I cover everything you need to eventually play at the highest level, here’s a short list of some of the usual concepts I cover within my lessons! ▷ Team building (The proper way to build and make of various team compositions) ▷ Positional awareness (Identifying the board state and avoiding pitfalls) ▷ Strategy (How to use techs efficiently to win games/Gameplanning to set yourself up for victory) ▷ Healthy mentality (How to deal with tilting and improve your mental) ▷ Effective self improvement (How to improve at a quicker rate) ▷ Practice ▷ Confidence ▷ Meta Discussion Why should you choose me? Aiming to top cut the next big event? Have no idea how to prepare for the next big Regionals or International Championships? Then you've come to the right place! I have devoted 6 years to understanding this game completely, countless hours of preparation time into big events that resulted in top cuts and success. I helped hundreds of players to achieve their goals, some of my students even managed to win big events. I will impart knowledge to you that will enable you to take your games to a new level and, more importantly, I will show you how you can do this on your own! Looking forward to working with you! If you have any further questions just drop me a message! Will be happy to assist wherever possible! PS: If you really need help but dont have the budget or that im a little out of your price range DM me and we'll see what we can do! (Thanks for reading this far)

Hi, my name is Alex, and I have been playing the competitive Pokémon for 8 years. I have qualified for the Pokémon World Championships six times, cut many regionals, and have won several stipends in the past. I recently just graduated with Bachelors of Science in Computer Science and Engineering. I love helping every player who has any questions about competitive play get the right answers and guide them in the correct direction when it comes to making plays or building teams. If you would like a more personalized experience, I would love to assist you grow as a player with my coaching. I have had over 100 students over the past couple years, so whether you are just starting with VGC to a player who is stuck and wants to learn how to improve their play, I can help in all of those departments. We can build a team together and ladder on Pokémon Showdown or in game together, or review VOD's of your matches, whether those be Pokémon Showdown replays or in game replays. My goal of each coaching session is to not only help you grow as a player, but help you understand my methodology behind the game to help you accomplish your goals. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me on twitter or discord! I will be happy to answer any questions you have!

Pro Player of Pokémon VGC (started to play in 2017) and also a Game Designer, Game Analyst and former tutor for kids. My best skill, even above my in-game ability, is understand the metagame and find valuable and/or alternative solutions for both playing it and countering it. I used some meta trend in advance through the years, such as Togekiss-Excadrill (Mold Breaker) - Dragapult in VGC 20 or Dragon Tera on Gholdengo in VGC 2023 to name the most recent ones, and also created some unique ideas and pick such as the Worry Seed Amoonguss at the Barcelona SPE 2023, or Mega Blaziken in Ultra Series alongside Xernala in 2019. In my lessons I also explain my methods to find such picks and how I analyze the metagame.
