Soy un amante de la competencia y del Pokémon Competitivo. Me gusta mucho analizar partidas de todo tipo. También me gusta informarme de los Pokémon más comunes en Asia, lo que me convierte en una persona con un alto conocimiento del meta, sea de oriente u occidente. Mi filosofía es que la mejor manera de aprender es mientras te diviertes, así que intento hacer que mis coachings sean divertidos y agradables para las personas
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!
Hey! I'm Andrea and I'm known as BanFox in the community. I've started playing VGC at the end of 2018 when I was still in high school.Back then I played only online, but I started getting more known towards the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, which eventually allowed me to join Team Aqua, a VGC Italian esport team composed by many great players. As I lived in Switzerland, I didn't get to attend many events, but I started doing my first in real events in 2022. I still find it hard to attend many events due to my University schedule (I'm currently studying economy and management), but when I do, I always manage to do well. In fact, I've reached Day2 (in the top32 half) or better in all the Majors I took part to, outside of Worlds 2022, where instead I won the London Open, a tournament of nearly 400 players coming from all the world, majority of which were other fellow world competitors. Thanks to Team Aqua, I've had previous coaching experiences through VGC university, where I even gave lessons to multiple people together. While my coaching sessions were tailored to my students' needs, my group lessons were focused on team building and how to optimize spreads, which is definitely one of my expertises. My coaching sessions will be tailored to your needs to help you improve as a player as well as help you understand my reasoning in regards of the game, so that you may apply it as well. I can help you with team building, teach you how to optimize your spread, or we can ladder together and even battle each other. If you wish, we can review VODs of your matches as well. Even if you are a beginner, you have nothing to worry about! I can help you learning the basic and then some more, just let me know! If you have any question or doubt, feel free to reach me on either Discord or Twitter, and I'll reply as soon as possible!

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.

Became an executive at 23. Got a worlds invite 3 months after I decided to get serious about competing. My entire life I've been looking to innovate and push the limits of anything I put my mind to. I will take a completely different approach in helping you get better at vgc. Depending on what plan you book, we will focus on different areas of the game from principles to teambuilding to tournament prep.
