About Me

Hey everyone, my name is Joseph Ugarte and I have been a professional Pokemon player for over 4 years. I have also been professionally coaching for 2 years, working with all different skill levels for coaching, helping a lot of players reach their personal goals in the game! I believe that with the right amount of ambition and effort, any goal is within your reach and achievable. Along with focusing on Pokemon VGC as my full time career between content, competing, and coaching, I am also the most consistent coach when it comes to my own results and my students results. One thing that sets me apart from other coaches is that I will be personally 100% invested in your success, and view your successes and failures as my own. I take Pokemon very seriously and I will push you to achieve all of your individual goals. Down below this there will be 2 lists, my achievements and my students achievements.
