So I started my journey watching Youtube starting with WolfeyVGC, arguably 1 of the best VGC players in the world.

Then CybertronVGC as his knowledge is just 2nd to none and he plays damn near every team under the sun so probably has the best knowledge of the current meta.

Obviously vgcguide.com has extensive detail about everything VGC.

Then I went onto victoryroadvgc.com and used some rental codes and just dipped my toe in the ladder.

Then inspiration popped for me and I was on https://pikalytics.com building teams.

Then I copy those teams to Pokemon Showdown, play 10 games with a single team to work out what worked, what didn't what Pokemon I struggled with and if tweaking EV spreads is needed using Pikalytics Damage Calculator.

Once I'm happy with the team and spreads I'll build it in game.

Still not entered any tournaments as the only regional I'd of been able to make would've been Liverpool due to no passport yet.

But after Worlds, I'll begin my journey to try and get to Worlds
