2022 Pokémon World Champion | Player for @TeamAqua_offic | he/him Coaching: https://t.co/HNGJvWxUPs
Joined December 2013
I was gonna ask who let Wolfe get away with this, but then I remembered the countless times he beat me in 2018 with No Guard Role Play/Skill Swap + Fissure Lando / Sheer Cold Abomasnow and wrote this tweet instead.

It's now been a whole week since I became World Champion and it still doesn't feel real. Thank you all so, so much for the love and support you've given me. I'll keep saying it forever, I really couldn't have done this alone.

Please do not use Effect Spore Amoonguss.
Amoonguss is a Pokémon you can expect to see regularly supporting its partner here at NAIC 2023. With moves like Spore and Pollen Puff, and resistances to a variety of types, it's a hardy contender that has earned its place on the competitive circuit. #PokemonVG

Dropping by twitter to thank everyone for the support and kind messages, but also to ask you to please understand those who have not forgiven me. No matter what I do, my past actions will never be erased. People may believe I have changed but still not forgive me and that's fair.

As of December 17th, I have been suspended by TPCi. It was a result of an altercation that took place in MIlan Games Week. I intend to explain things further, once internal matters have been dealt with. I'd appreciate it if you respected my privacy at this time. Thank you.

Finished 1st out of 19205 players at the GC III! This was the only type of tournament currently available that I hadn't won yet, so I'm absolutely overjoyed with this accomplishment. The final record was 31-6 (with 1 win stolen by the DC glitch).

Today's a very special day. Not only did I graduate from College, it's also been announced that I'll have my first Pokémon Event! It's so fitting for it to be Gastrodon. I used it on my very first team back in 2013! I also had it in an insane anti-meta team w/ Mienshao in 2015!.
Serebii Update: A Gastrodon based on Eduardo Cunha's Gastrodon that brought him to victory in 2022 World Championships will be distributed during the Pokémon World Championships livestream next month. Details being added @

Imagine there was a strategy game with a very important overall timer that wasnt shown to the players. Then suddenly, the programming changes and no one notices the timer has changed bc it's never shown, not even the tournament organizers. What a silly game that'd be haha.

Last weekend, I finished 1st out of 348 people at the Barcelona Special Event! This makes it my 2nd Special Event win, but my first one with Day 2 Swiss, which means a lot to me. This result is dedicated to my 3 rocks: my girlfriend, my mom, and my grandma. Amo-vos. ❤️

This weekend, I finished 3rd out of 921 players at NAIC! All this wonderful season was missing was a deep International finish, so I'm beyond ecstatic with this result. It also means I finished the season at 1st in the World in Championship Points! I hope you enjoy the fit 🤠

I've been too quiet about this, but I'm done. The fact that some people genuinely believe that women are naturally worse at VGC infuriates me to no end. What makes me even madder is that some of them find the need to tell women about their quirky little take. Shut the fuck up.

TPC Korea silenced the players by cancelling the event. They're running away from the consequences of their mistakes and punishing the players even further. These 4 players are true heroes, who sacrificed their Day 2 invite to spread a message and fight for change.
The team I locked in, fyi. Other three players have locked in similar teams in their respective styles. 'blue' Florges in tribute to my good friend.

Watching all of his struggles throughout the years, seeing he's so close to achieving his goal, only for it to be stolen away due to Pokémon's own incompetence is beyond heartbreaking. He deserves so much better than this.

What a dreamy weekend. Not just bc of the actual event, but also for the overwhelming support I got from everyone. After 3 top 16's just on the cusp of cut, I was losing faith I'd even cut a single international, but I did it. We did it. We are Oceania International Champions.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Can't believe such a game changing interaction turned out to be a bug. Just as I think it can't get any worse. The only truly VGC-related bug they're fixing is something we all assumed was a feature, everything else will remain the same. .

This is truly egregious. 4 of the best Korean players have been banned for peacefully protesting their awful decisions. @playpokemon @Pokemon please do something about @PokemonKoreaInc's actions, they clearly aren't equiped to run their events.
Pokemon Korea(TPCK) released a new statement regarding 4 Finalists and the Day 2 qualifications they were suspended of:. - The 4 players will be permanentely banned from playing TPCK's official circuits. - The 4 Day 2 qualification will not be replaced, and therefore be vacant.

Barely made it to day 2 at 6-2, losses to @Paul_Chua_ and @Lore95VGC in some very close calls. After my terrible run last year, as I watched Day 2 unfold, I set myself the goal to not miss it this year. Overjoyed to have accomplished that goal, but hungry for more tomorrow!.

This past weekend, I finished 29th out of 975 players at EUIC! With that result, I clinched the TA for NAIC, reached 1408 total CP and got an extra $2k. My day 1 schedule included 6 (six) Day 2 players and a World Champion, so I faced day 2 players in 12 of my 15 rounds!

The plot thickens.
My storyline with @DesuVGC is getting a bit out of hand this season. We first faced off at LAIC, R1 of day 2. In that tournament, he finished 16th and I bubbled at 17th. We then faced in t8 of Liverpool. Now, I finished 8th in the GC, as he bubbled at 9th. .

This is some hilarious backtracking, they have no proof of hacking, not to mention they made their initial decisions without knowing about any of these potential factors. They're publicly lying now too.
They have stated following reasons in addition for the finalists being disqualified. - All player's battle teams included hacked pokemon. - All players had an agreement prior to the tour, making it prone to collusion.

I'd rather have locals that give unfair advantages to a small group of people on the Travel Award races, than go back to a time without locals at all. I've had a lot more trouble with Regionals distribution and their respective BFL's for TA's in the past. Thread below ⬇️.

There is just no way. What is this madness??? Is Korea just not having any players in day 2???? This is actually embarrassing from @PokemonKoreaInc, I'm standing with my fellow competitors. I'm proud of you.

It's not crazy to be upset that your favorite franchise hypes up an announcement and brings you something you don't relate to whatsoever. It is, however, crazy to act like they owed you anything. Be disappointed, sure, but don't harass others over it.
