I'm throwing my hat into the ring! I've coached countless people over the years, but only ever by request. Thought I'd give it a serious effort and see how much of an impact I can make on the scene! Hit me up :D

they should make a Pokemon called Amooneroar with the Ability As One (Intimidate and Regenerator) and it would have a signature move called Parting Spore that would put you to Sleep and drop your Attack and Special Attack before switching out the user out

Jiseok winning a 500+ person event and walking away with only 200CP feels wrong. Emilio going 12-1 and earning 100 does as well. A Midseason Showdown rewards 50 for a win. Regionals should be able to achieve "Elevated" status that gives higher payouts

Normal/Ground has decent coverage, only failing to hit 6 Pokemon neutrally. The problem is when you're in Trick Room staring down a Ghost or Flying type. Having common immunities to your single target attacks means you're going to face a lot of coin flips during 4 turns of TR.
